Document Summary
Professor is late again, nothing new, 11:10 he shows up, likely to prepare. He is sick, won"t be able to speak loud for a long time. Guidelines for the first essay have been posted, due in 2 weeks, on blackboard and by email. Questions and problems should be addressed during office hours. The first slide says, class hours 11-11 lol. We talked and discussed the idea of muslim culture. Most things that are called culture, are not so. If we want to determine what it actually is, we have a problem as many belong to different sects, commonalities are few, muslim culture cannot be treated as one, must be indeterminate. We also discussed the idea of modernity, and we discussed some of the transformations that happen in the west, where muslim population makes up the majorities, the advent of capitalism. Where it challenges current forces and puts forth new ones.
