Talal Asad
Talal Asad (born 1932) is an anthropologist at the CUNY Graduate Center.〔(''Fifty Key Thinkers on Religion'' by Gary Kessler )〕 Asad has made important theoretical contributions to post-colonialism, Christianity, Islam, and ritual studies and has recently called for, and initiated, an anthropology of secularism. Using a genealogical method developed by Friedrich Nietzsche and made prominent by Michel Foucault, Asad "complicates terms of comparison that many anthropologists, theologians, philosophers, and political scientists receive as the unexamined background of thinking, judgment, and action as such. By doing so, he creates clearings, opening new possibilities for communication, connection, and creative invention where opposition or studied indifference prevailed".〔William E. Connolly in ''Powers of the Secular Modern: Talal Asad and His Interlocutors'', Stanford 2006, 75.〕 His long-term research concerns the transformation of religious law (the shari'ah) in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Egypt with special reference to arguments about what constitutes secular and progressive reform.〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=http://www.gc.cuny.edu/Page-Elements/Academics-Research-Centers-Initiatives/Doctoral-Programs/Anthropology/Faculty-Listing/Talal-Asad )〕 ==Biography== He was born in Saudi Arabia to Austrian diplomat, writer and reformer Muhammad Asad, a Jew who converted to Islam in his mid-20s, and a Saudi Arabian Muslim mother, Munira Hussein Al Shammari (died 1978).〔Chaghatai, ''Muhammad Asad'', Vol. 1, p. 339.〕
