Del 22 Diciembre 2010 al 17 Junio 2011
Fechas: 5-17 de junio de 2011. Lugar: Granada, España. Organiza: Centro de Estudios Diálogo Global. Descripción: The Critical Islamic Thought summer school is part of a larger intellectual and political initiative to dismantle islamophobic stereotypes and forms of discrimination directed towards a world of peace and solidarity while at once moving beyond the existing Western-centric capitalist/patriarchal imperial power structures produced by the existing global coloniality of power. A hidden form of islamophobia is epistemic islamophobia, that is, the inferiorization of Islam as an epistemic perspective that offers ways of thinking and living alternative to hegemonic Westernized Capitalist Christian-centric forms of living and thinking. Since the fall of Al-Andalus and the emergence of the “Capitalist/Patriarchal Modern/Colonial Westernized/Christianized World-System” in 1492, Muslim people and Islamic cosmology has been subalternized and inferiorized as part of Western imperial/colonial designs. The European colonial expansion in the post-Andalucian world created after 1492 was fundamental to the decay of the Islamic world and the inferiorization of Muslim people as colonial subjects of Western empires. Western linear and Eurocentric historiography has been central in providing world-historical narratives that conceals its philosophical, economic, and scientific debt with Islam.
