Arabic Literature for the Classroom

Teaching Methods, Theories, Themes and Texts

Arabic Literature for the Classroom argues for a more visible presence of Arabic within the humanities and social sciences, stressing the need to make Arabic literature available as a world literature, without damaging its own distinctive characteristics. The nineteen chapters which make up this book broach theoretical and methodical cultural concerns in teaching literatures from non-American cultures, along with issues of cross-cultural communication, cultural competency and translation. While some chapters bring out the fascinating and ever tantalizing connections between Arabic and the literatures of medieval Europe, others employ specific approaches to teaching particular texts, potential methodologies, themes and a variety of topics that can place Arabic widely in a vast swathe of academic application and learning. Topics that are explored include gender, race, class, trauma, exile, dislocation, love, rape, humor, and cinema, as well as issues that relate to writers and poets, women�s writing and the so called nahdah (revival) movement in the 19th Century. The comparative framework and multi-disciplinary approach means that this book injects new life into the field of Arabic Literature. It will therefore be an essential resource for students, scholars and teachers of Arabic Literature, as well as for anyone with an interest in learning more about Arabic culture.

This book presents theoretical and methodical cultural concerns in teaching literatures from non-American cultures along with issues of cross-cultural communication, cultural competency and translation.

Fintech dalam Keuangan Islam: Teori dan Praktik

Gelombang revolusi dalam teknologi digital yang terus berkembang dengan pesat telah mengubah wajah dunia. Jika dibandingkan dengan sektor lain, kemajuan teknologi digital ini berjalan lebih gesit dan penuh inovatif. Dari aspek yang sederhana saja, dewasa ini jumlah orang yang memiliki telepon seluler (ponsel) mungkin jauh lebih besar daripada mereka yang memiliki akses terhadap listrik atau air bersih. Difusi gelombang teknologi digital telah merangkak masuk ke semua aspek kehidupan dan ekonomi masyarakat dunia, seperti transportasi, kesehatan, pendidikan, ritel, hotel, dan bahkan keuangan. Dalam sektor keuangan, inovasi teknologi sebenarnya bukan merupakan fenomena baru. Antara teknologi dan keuangan, keduanya memiliki sejarah simbiosis mutualisme yang panjang, sehingga secara inheren teknologi keuangan (financial technology), juga bukan merupakan pengembangan baru bagi industri jasa keuangan. Meskipun demikian, intensitas pembahasan dan kajian tentang keduanya cukup tinggi akhir-akhir ini, terutama karena penetrasi fintech itu sangat cepat. Isu tersebut menjadi perhatian banyak pihak pada berbagai level di Indonesia, baik di kalangan pengambil keputusan, akademisi, dan praktisi bisnis keuangan maupun di tingkat publik (masyarakat) sebagai konsumen atau pengguna fintech. Misalnya seperti isu mata uang kripto (cryptocurrency), bitcoin, blockchain. Meskipun telah muncul banyak perhatikan dari kalangan ekonom secara umum terkait fintech, penulis belum banyak melihat diskursus yang mengaitkannya dengan keuangan Islam. Padahal, kaitannya dengan keuangan Islam (Islamic Finance) menarik untuk dibahas, sebab Indonesia merupakan salah satu pasar ekonomi syariah terbesar di Indonesia (katadata.co.id, 2020). Oleh sebab itu, Book Chapter ini hadir untuk memberikan perspektif baru terkait fintech dari sudut pandang keuangan Islam secara komprehensif dari berbagai kalangan akademisi yang terbagi dalam 18 sub pembahasan yang saling terkait. Tujuannya tentu memberikan edukasi edukasi kepada para umat Islam khususnya, dan bagi pelaku pada pasar ekonomi syariah pada umumnya.
