Abstract

Among the conceptual foundations on which scholars of modern Islam have built their narratives for decades, ideas such as “reform” and “reformism” have been singled out for charges of Eurocentricism and Orientalism. At the same time, research on early modern Islam leads us to question the specificities of these nineteenth and twentieth-century concepts. Building on this scholarship, this article examines the case of Algerian Ibadi reform (iṣlāḥ) in order to reassert the specificity of the early twentieth century as a moment when Islamic concepts acquired new meanings, but also as a moment of deep entanglements between Islamic and colonial knowledge production. It shows that a systematic understanding of iṣlāḥ as social and religious reform linked to the idea of progress developed only during the interwar period. It also demonstrates that the emic and etic uses of iṣlāḥ and “reform” developed together, a result of the confluence between modern Islamic scholarship and scholarship about Islam in the early twentieth-century Algerian colonial public sphere. Thus, the conceptual history of iṣlāḥ warns us against approaches that consider emic and etic categories bounded entities and invites us instead to unravel their complexities.

伊斯兰改革的形成(iṣlāḥ) 在殖民地阿尔及利亚(1882-1938):伊巴迪学者、法国官员和现代伊斯兰研究的概念基础
在现代伊斯兰教学者几十年来建立叙事的概念基础中,“改革”和“改良主义”等思想被单独列为欧洲中心主义和东方主义的罪名。与此同时,对早期现代伊斯兰教的研究使我们对这些十九世纪和二十世纪概念的特殊性提出了质疑。在此基础上,本文考察了阿尔及利亚伊巴迪改革(iṣlāḥ) 为了重申二十世纪初伊斯兰概念获得新意义的时刻,以及伊斯兰和殖民地知识生产之间深刻纠缠的时刻的特殊性。这表明对我的系统理解ṣlāḥ 与进步理念相关的社会和宗教改革是在两次世界大战期间才发展起来的。它还证明了i的主位和主位用法ṣlāḥ 和“改革”一起发展,这是现代伊斯兰学术与20世纪初阿尔及利亚殖民公共领域的伊斯兰学术融合的结果。因此,我的概念史ṣlāḥ 警告我们不要采用将流行病和进化论范畴视为有界实体的方法,并邀请我们解开它们的复杂性。
