Shame, Modesty, and Honor in Islam (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu
Reviews
Description
This book examines various conceptions of hayâ, or feelings of shame, modesty and honor in Islam, and the practices associated with this concept in both Muslim majority and minority contexts. With a particular emphasis on definitions, continuities, changes, and transformations, this book discusses the historical role and function of hayâ' in Islamic theology and law, as well as contemporary Muslims' engagements with the concept.
It argues that hayâ' or modesty is the result of social constructions in which ideas, objects and practices interact in different social and cultural contexts. This book approaches conceptions of hayâ as constructed and re-produced, through long processes in which the naming, the idea, and the meanings of hayâ are continuously reconfigured and adjusted across different regions. The volume demonstrates that the concept of hayâ has undergone profound transformations temporally and spatially. By doing so, it contributes to our understanding of the human and social mechanisms by which we conceive and see the phenomenon that is hayâ.EXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
