Comments
This reading class accompanies the MA course with the same title. In it, we will be reading and translating a selection of Arabic texts on questions of secularity. The lecturer will at the beginning present a range of possible texts, stemming from the end of the nineteenth century until the present and from a variety of genres: journalism, political speeches, and academic publications. The participants will then jointly decide on those texts to be dealt with in detail and translated in the course. Should all participants be fluent in German and opt to do so, the class will take place in German.
