21. ONLINE International Conference on “Canon
and Censorship in the Islamic Intellectual and Theological History”, Berlin
Institute for Islamic Theology, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, 8-10 October

Muslim societies and theologies did not witness
the emergence of a single institution that establishes a binding canon for
everyone who adheres to Islam. Instead, the constitutional positions are
(re)negotiated constantly in a scholarly discourse. Against this backdrop, the
conference focuses on the question of how certain texts and positions evolve to
a canon while others get lost in time.
