The Symbolic Scenarios of Islamism initiates a dialogue between the
discourse of three of the most discussed figures in the history of
the Sunni Islamic movement-Hasan al-Banna, Sayyid Qutb, and Osama
bin Laden-and contemporary debates across religion and political
theory, providing a crucial foundation upon which to situate
current developments in world politics. Redressing the inefficiency
of the terms in which the debate on Islam and Islamism is generally
conducted, the book examines the role played by tradition,
modernity, and transmodernity as major "symbolic scenarios" of
Islamist discourses, highlighting the internal complexity and
dynamism of Islamism. By uncovering forms of knowledge that have
hitherto gone unnoticed or have been marginalised by traditional
and dominant approaches to politics, accounting for central
political ideas in non-Western sources and in the Global South, the
book provides a unique contribution towards rethinking the nature
of citizenship, antagonism, space, and frontiers required today.
While offering valuable reading for scholars of Islamic studies,
religious studies and politics, it provides a critical perspective
for academics with an interest in discourse theory, post-colonial
theory, political philosophy, and comparative political thought.
