Qur’anic Studies: Methodology and Hermeneutics (IQSA)


Program Unit Type: Affiliate
Accepting Papers? Yes

Call For Papers: At the 2015 meeting, the Methodology and Hermeneutics unit will have one round table discussion and one thematic panel. We invite paper proposals for the thematic panel, entitled ‘The Qur’an and Politics: Hermeneutical Approaches’. Papers for this panel could address medieval or modern uses of the Qur’anic text as proof text (or pretext) for various political agendas. We particularly encourage papers that delve into specific hermeneutical approaches and analyse how these approaches are applied to the author’s agenda. The round table discussion will be devoted to the topic ‘The Current State of Qur’anic Studies and its Future’ and will involve invited participants from various arenas of the field. All enquiries about the Methodology and Hermeneutics panels should be addressed to Karen Bauer, kbauer@iis.ac.uk.
