Our ESR Zeynep Aydin realized one of the best videos for #MyJobinResearch!

Film: ESR 12 Justin Benavidez
We are happy to present the next exciting topic and film of our ESR Justin Benavidez. His research focusses on the history of knowledge through the writings of Muhammad al-Qurtubi, from the city of Cordoba. The writings of al-Qurtubi (d. 1273), in particular his commentary of the Qur'an, offer insight into the ways in which ideas about religious knowledge were read, shared, and integrated into mainstream Islamic thought.

Film: ESR 13 Rukayyah Reichling
2020 has been extraordinary in many ways – also for Muslim pilgrims as this year’s hajj was cancelled for most of them. Epidemic outbreaks are, of course, nothing new in history. How then did hajj organizers deal with these risks in the past? Our MIDA researcher Rukayyah Reichling had a closer look at the first documentary about the pilgrimage to Mecca. Based on this valuable film material from the 1920s, Rukayyah sheds light on the health measurements undertaken by the colon

Film: ESR 14 Zeynep Aydin
We are very proud to show you the film of our ESR Zeynep Aydin. She focusses in her research on how the European public acts after terror attacks and what role mass media and social media play in terms of authority. She asks the question of how the transition from mass media to increased social media use is affecting online Islamophobia and how it is contributing to an increase in right-wing populism in Europe. Great work, Zeynep! And a nice weekend to all of you. #IslaminEur

Film: ESR 15 Mounir Saifi
We finish this week strong by presenting you the great film of our ESR Mounir Saifi. His presentation at the MIDA 2020 summer school discusses an online article that denies the Muslim conquest of Spain around 711. Mounir tries to understand how this counter-narrative of al-Andalus, or Spain under Muslim rule, is used to claim identity space for "Self" by a female author and (a)religious minority member within the Arab world. Enjoy his work and have a nice weekend! #itn_mida #
