Description: Muslim Qur nic interpretation today is beset by tensions. Tensions between localising and globalising forces; tensions between hierarchical and egalitarian social ideals; and tensions between the quest for new approaches and the claim for authority raised by defenders of exegetical traditions. It is this complex web of power structures local as well as global that this book seeks to elucidate. This book provides a fresh perspective on present - day Qur nic interpretations by analysing the historical social and political dimensions in which they take place the ways in which they are performed and the media through which they are transmitted. Besides discussing the persistence of exegetical traditions and the emergence of new paradigms it examines the structural conditions in which these processes occur. Languages nation states global human rights discourses and intra - Islamic divisions all shape the nature of interpretive endeavours and frequently fuel conflicts over the correct understanding of the Qur n.
