The latest political developments have brought Islam in general and Muslims in the West in particular into
limelight, though the relevance of Islamic cultures and Muslim religious forms for the history of European
culture and idea had evoked quite some interest since the 18th century. But the topic became politically
crucial only since the 1970s, when, as a result of labor-migration, new Muslim communities established
themselves in Europe and the USA. The specific situation of Muslim communities in diasporic environment
has led to a further re-interpretation of Islam in terms of "fundamentalist groups", „Euro-Islam" or even
„terrorist Islam“. This summer school will elaborate on the history and cultures of Muslims in Europe as
well as in America. We will consider questions such as new Islamic developments in the diaspora and the
interaction between Muslims and non-Muslims, between majority and minority.

The course mediates between the praxis of integrational processes in Germany and theories of a
multicultural society. 30 percent of the population of Frankfurt don't own a German passport; they are
migrants from 100 countries. This situation requires the development of strategies which help people of
different ethnic, cultural, religious and linguistic backgrounds to communicate with each others. During
the last decades the ethnic minorities of Frankfurt have found forms of articulation and representation
that have thoroughly influenced the daily life in the city. The study tour will provide the opportunity to
ask representants of different ethnic and religious groups and of public institutions about the concept of
multiculturalism und multireligious life in urban spaces.
20 participants maximum; 10 participants maximum from Erfurt University. Those interested in the
course are invited to sign up in a list at the secretary's office of Jewish stidies (beginning at October 1,
