Publisher Description:
Reprenant nouveaux frais la question de l'autorit religieuse, ce livre pr sente diff rents cas d' tude en Asie centrale, travers l'Empire ottoman, dans les Balkans et en Turquie. Sont examin s les rapports complexes qu'entretiennent, avec le pouvoir politique, cheikhs soufis, oul mas, sheikh ul-isl m, h goum nes, ou encore clerg latin l' poque pr moderne. Les XXe et XXIe si cles sont analys s du point de vue des transformations de l'autorit religieuse, certes fragment e mais vigoureuse, en particulier chez les r formistes musulmans bosniaques et les Bektashis albanais, galement parmi les Al vis d'Anatolie ou bien dans le soufisme f minin Istanbul. Il appara t que l'autorit religieuse d passe le seul cadre des autorit s traditionnelles et se heurte sans cesse des limites th ologiques, politiques, sociales ou institutionnelles.

Reconsidering the question of religious authority, L'autorit religieuse et ses limites en terres d'islam offers various case studies located in Central Asia, throughout the Ottoman Empire, in the Balkans and in Turkey. The present volume discusses the complex relationships between political power and religious authorities, such as Sufi shaykhs, ulamas, sheikh ul-isl m, hegumens, and the latin clergy in the premodern period. The 20th and 21th centuries are analysed from the perspective of the transformation of religious authority - certainly fragmented but vigorous - among the Bosnian Muslim Reformists, the Albanian Bektashis, the Alevis of Anatolia, and in female Sufism in Istanbul. It appears that religious authority is not limited to traditional authorities and is continuously confronted with limits, whether theological, political, social or institutional.
