Call for Proposals for a Workshop “Cooperations across religious and ethnic boundaries in the study of the Qurʾan”
ERC Synergy Project the European Qur’an (EuQu), University of Amsterdam, 6-7 March 2025
This workshop examines how the Qur’an was studied between different religious groups and individuals. How did such encounters come about? Who determined places and times? What was voluntary collaboration and what was done under duress? Who decided in such settings about the process, which sorts of texts were used (e.g. tafsīr, asbāb al-nuzūl, polemical sources)? What were the social and political fields in which these encounters took place? Etc.
Deadline for abstracts: 1 September 2024.
