This second collective volume of the series The Presence of the
Prophet explores the growing importance of the figure of the
Prophet Muhammad for questions of authority and power in early
modern and modern times. The authors provide a rich collection of
case studies on how Muhammad's material, spiritual, and
genealogical heritage has been claimed for the foundation of Muslim
empires, revolutionary movements, the formation of modern nation
states and ideologies, as well as for communal mobilization and
social reform. This novel comparative, and diachronic study, which
is unique for its wide coverage of regional cases and perspectives,
reveals diverse political representations of the Prophet in an
increasingly globalised struggle over the control of his image
between secularization and sacralization. Contributors Gianfranco
Bria, Rachida Chih, Christoph Gunther, Gottfried Hagen, Jan-Peter
Hartung, David Jordan, Soraya Khodamoradi, Jamal Malik, Catherine
Mayeur-Jaouen, Alix Philippon, Martin Riexinger, Stefan Reichmuth,
Dilek Sarmis, Renaud Soler, Jaafar Ben El Haj Soulami, Florian
Zemmin.
