This year’s Spring School invites to rethink the temporality and spatiality of modernity over a long time span and within enlarged geographies. It aims at pluralizing the notion of modernization, by trespassing usual national and civilizational boundaries, through specific texts, individual figures, events, practices, etc. During the lectures and workshops in Istanbul, light will be shed on the entanglements and transnational conditions that went into the co-production of modernity anywhere and on the sources and methods required revealing them. The Spring School’s organisation is a joint effort by:
- The Netherlands Interuniversity School for Islamic Studies (NISIS).
- The Institut d’études de l’Islam et des Sociétés du Monde Musulman (IISMM)
In cooperation with:
