- Contents
- Beseeching or trying to manipulate the supernatural in order to heal mental and physical sickness, avert calamities, ensure success, gain love, solve difficulties or learn about the hidden cause of various troubles has always been a traditional part of Middle Eastern culture and social life. Various divinatory and healing practices have a long history, sometimes going back to though their interpretation has constantly changed over history. Sometimes perceived as an intergral part of religion and ritual life, sometimes condemned as magic and/or blasphemy. This course studies the various practices and associated believes by the different religious communities of the Middle East. After giving a concise historical review, we will study contemporary approaches for spiritual healing and divination and analyze how these are viewed and utilized in different cultural, regional and political contexts as well as how they reflect the complex social interaction between different (and seemingly mutually exclusive) religious traditions.
