- Inhalt
- Until recently, the religious tradition of Yezidis, an ethno-religious minority, was based exclusively on oral tradition. The lack of written scriptures not only determined the nature of Yezidi religion, but also led to the social marginalization of the Yezidis in an environment where historically only “people of the Book” enjoyed legal acknowledgement. The course studies the introduction of school education in the recent decades and the impact of newly acquired general literacy on Yezidi religious institutions and oral tradition: the process of scripturalization, the creation of written body of texts and a “theology”, canonization and uniformization of texts and traditions, and concomitant transformation of traditional social institutions and traditional power hierarchy. We will also look at the various strategies Yezidis have used to “create” books, from “imagined” scriptures to various understandings of heavenly revelation.
