Kommentar/Beschreibung

After discussing the various approaches historians have taken to the study of religious conversion, the seminar will focus on conversion in the Middle East since the first centuries of Muslim rule and especially under the Ottomans. Religious conversion will be looked at in relation to other social processes. The seminar explores who are the converts, what “factors of conversion” underlie the spread of Islam and Catholicism in the Middle East and what kinds of power relations were at work in the production of converted subjects. Trough readings in primary sources (documents from the Islamic court of Jerusalem and form the Archive of the Franciscan monks in Jerusalem), part of the seminar is devoted to investigating how the passages of faith were recorded in the Ottoman Empire and why.
