ÅP Jan AIM OF THE COURSE After completion of the course the student should be able to: Clarify Muslim and Christian understandings of the use of violence Describe similarities and differences within and between these two traditions when it comes to the understanding of the use of violence Identify, analyze, and problematize the relation between religion and the use of violence through some concrete examples. CONTENTS This course is an introduction to the relationship between religion and politics with specific focus on the use of violence. A description and analysis of the use of violence in the name of religion, of arguments for and against the use of violence, and of the contemporary debate on religion and violence is emphasized, especially in Muslim and Christian traditions, but also in other religious traditions. TEACHING The course is seminar based. The students prepare their seminar participation through literature studies and paper writings, participate actively and constructively in the seminar discussions, and write a final paper. EXAMINATION
4 The basis for the examination will be three seminar papers and a final paper. 1. In the first paper (1,300-1,500 words in lengths, excluding footnotes) the student need to discuss Huntington s paper, Juergensmeyer s Chapter 1 (reader) and Cavanaugh s Introduction: What is Huntington s thesis? What are the four main phases of world politics? How do they differ? How many civilizations? Why do they clash? Evidence? New fault lines? How important is religion? What does he mean with the West versus the Rest? Do you think Huntington is correct in his analysis? Why/Why not? Clarify your arguments. Be specific. What is the purpose and goal of Juergensmeyer s book? What are the purpose, goals, and meaning of terrorism? What role does/can religion play? Is religious terrorism a mutant form of religion? Why/Why not? What are the meaning and purpose of religious terrorism? How, why and in what ways does religion make a difference in justifying terrorism? What aspects does Cavanaugh bring into his analysis? Are they valid? Why/Why not? Clarify your arguments). Try to summarize your overall findings and clarify what you think is your most interesting and/or surprising findings in the three writings. This paper must be handed in on November 15 before the seminar starts. If turned in later, the grade will be lowered one step, i.e. an A becomes a B, etc. 2. In the second paper (1,300-1,500 words in lengths, excluding footnotes) the student need to discuss a present-day expression and legitimation of violence within Islamic, Buddhist or Hindu culture. The discussion should start from an emic perspective with a focus on how the chosen group express their goals and perceived moral right to use violence within the specific context: Against whom is violence legitimate and on what grounds? How do they argue against those within their religious setting that is potentially against the use of violence? In what ways do they perceive the use of violence as a religiously grounded decree? What use is made of religious scriptures, and how? Summarize your 'case-study' with a reflection of the groups potential problems within their religious setting regarding their use of legitimizing arguments. This paper must be handed in on November 28 before the seminar starts. If turned in later, the grade will be lowered one step, i.e. an A becomes a B, etc. 3. In the third paper (1,000-1,200 words in lengths, excluding footnotes) Read September 11, 2001: A Pacifist Response (Stanley Hauerwas) carefully (Retrieved at:
5 The paper must include two parts: The first part must include a description of a Christian pacifist way of dealing with violence. Use the articles found in the reading list; describe different kinds of pacifism (include differences/similarities), the arguments for pacifism, the purpose of pacifism etc. In the second part the student must discuss the article September 11, 2001: A Pacifist Response by Stanley Hauerwas. What are Hauerwas arguments? What is his response to September 11? How does he describe the Just War Theory? What arguments is he using against that theory? What would a Just War Theory response be to Hauerwas? Evaluate Hauerwas response in regard to the two different kinds of Christian theories (Pacifism and Just War). The paper must be handed in on December 12 before the seminar starts. If turned in later, the grade will be lowered one step, i.e. an A becomes a B, etc. 4. The final paper: Not later than on Dec. 12, at 6PM, the students need to send a e-proposal to ase.piltz@liu.se that includes a topic for the final paper and at least three relevant and primary sources that should be used in this paper. The paper could for example discuss a case from a current situation in the world where religion seems to be a part in the conflict; It could describe and discuss different kinds of response to violence in a Christian and Muslim context; It could be a analyzes of theories in different religions; It could be an general discussion of the relationship between religion and violence; Or the student could choose a subject on their own. But the teachers will decide if the topic is accepted and return the answer to the student. A hard copy and also an e-version of the final paper must be handed in on January 8, at noon. 5. At the final seminar on January 13 (possibly also Jan. 14 depending on the size of the class), the students must be prepared to present her/his paper, arguments and conclusions. Each student will have no more than 7-10 minutes at their disposal. The final paper should count 4,500-5,000 words, excluding footnotes and bibliography.
