Politics and Exhaustion — with Asad Haider
No full textTheorist and author Asad Haider joins Below the Radar to discuss questions he explores in his book, Mistaken Identity: Race and Class in the Age of Trump. Asad discusses how class dynamics cannot be separated from identity-driven movements. As well, he explores ideas of political exhaustion in the tradition of political theorists such as Sylvain Lazarus and Alain Badiou. In this interview, Asad interrogates the role of identity in politics and how it has been taken up in discourse — complicating the relationship between race and class in a context that has been defined by capital interests. Asad and Am discuss theoretical questions around frameworks for political organizing and solidarity across movements. He also speaks to our current moment as one of political exhaustion, where it\u27s difficult to mobilize transformative political change

Season 2, Episode 10: CISM
Full text linkThis is it, the tenth and final podcast of Season 2. Critical Incident Stress Management, or CISM, is a process designed for helping those who have experienced traumatic events be able to share their perspectives with others, learn about common stress reactions, express emotions, and obtain information about follow up assistance that might be available. The CISM program for wildland firefighters, which is based upon a peer support model, has been an incredibly effective resource for our personnel. Heath Cota from the Forest Service and Asad Rahman from the BLM join the podcast to share their perspectives about CISM.https://scholarworks.umt.edu/ontheline_podcasts/1019/thumbnail.jp
RASIONALITAS SEBAGAI BASIS TAFSIR TEKSTUAL (Kajian atas Pemikiran Muhammad Asad)
Full text linkMelalui analisa kritis dan kajian fenomenologis, penulis dengan jelas dapat melihat konsep Asad mengenai tafsir Al-Qur’an. Diakui bahwa dalam mengidentifikasi prinsip-prinsip Islam mengenai negara dan pemerintahan, Asad hanya mendasarkannya pada teks Al-Qur’an dan Sunnah yang merupakan syariah Islam yang nyata dan abadi. Karena hal ini, ia mengeluarkan fikih dan lebih luas lagi segala sesuatu dan aktifitas yang tertinggal yang tidak dispesifikkan oleh Pembuat hukum (Allah dan Rasulnya) – baik perintah maupun larangan dalam hubungannya dengan Nash - seharusnya tidak dianggap sebagai hal yang mubah dalam pandangan syariah dan oleh karena itu menuntut ijtihad (pemikiran yang mandiri)
Rasionalitas sebagai basis Tafsir Tekstual : Kajian atas Pemikiran Muhammad Asad
Full text linkMelalui analisis kritis dan kajian fenomenologis, penulis dapat jelas melihat konsep Asad tentang penafsiran Al-Qur’an. Diakui bahwa dalam mengidentifikasi prinsip-prinsip Islam tentang negara dan pemerintahan, Asad semata-mata mendasarkan diri pada petunjuk tekstual yang jelas (nash, jamak: nushush) dari al-Qur’an dan Sunnah yang menjadi pedoman Islam yang hakiki dan langgeng (syari’ah). Dengan pendirian ini, ia tidak begitu mengindahkan fiqh; dan bahwa segala sesuatu dan berbagai aktivitas yang cakupannya lebih besar yang tidak diberikan hukumnya oleh Sang Pemberi Hukum (Tuhan dan Nabi-Nya) –baik berbentuk perintah ataupun larangan secara tekstual—harus dianggap boleh (mubah) dalam pandangan syari’ah, dan karena itu memerlukan ijtihad (penalaran independen)
TELAAH RINGKAS SYARAHAN HADITH AL-BUKHARI OLEH MUHAMMAD ASAD
Full text linkMakalah ini membincangkan karya Muhammad Asad (1990-1992) Sahih al-Bukhari The Early Years of Islam; yang diterbit pertama kali pada 1935 oleh Arafat Publications, Srinagar, Kashmir dan cetakan kedua pada 1981 oleh Dar Al-Andalus, Gibraltar. Kitab ini merupakan terjemahan dan komentar ke atas Sahih al-Bukhari, yang memuatkan syarah dan kritik hadith yang tuntas dan mengesankan terhadap riwayat-riwayat sahih, meninjau latar belakang para perawi, lafaz dan konteks periwayatannya. Kajian ini cuba melihat pengaruhnya dalam pemahaman teks-teks hadith klasik, serta falsafah dan nilai-nilai rasional dan spiritual yang cuba dikembangkannya dalam konteks sejarah yang moden. Ia mengenengahkan garis pemikiran yang dirumuskan Asad tentang pemandangan hadith klasik dan membandingkannya dengan tinjauan ahli hadith semasa yang lain. Rekabentuk kajian adalah bercorak deskriptif, analitis, historis dan komparatif. Pendapatan kajian merumuskan Asad telah memberikan sumbangan yang signifikan dalam penelitian hadith dalam menggariskan metode dan pemahaman dasar tentang prinsip dan falsafah hadith yang rasional dan kontekstual. Ia memberikan asas yang kuat dalam pengembangan prinsip dan kerangka syarah yang kritis, yang memuatkan komentar dan tinjauan sejarah yang mendalam tentang Kitab Sahih. Karyanya berupaya merumuskan percanggahan hukum dan istinbat para fuqaha dan muhaddith dalam pembahasan hadis dan turut menjawab pertentangan asas yang berbangkit terhadap riwayat-riwayat hadith yang dipertikaikan
Season 3, Episode 09: Post Traumatic Stress/Growth
Full text linkThe human brain is the most resilient organ in the body. Yet, even it is susceptible to harm, not only from outside physical sources, but from internal mechanisms as well. Due to the nature of the work they do, wildland firefighters can be exposed to traumatic events. These incidents may have an impact upon our mental and behavioral health. BLM Battalion Chief Asad Rahman from Carson City, Nevada (and previous guest for our Season 2, Episode 10 CISM podcast) and Dr. Deb Silveria, a psychologist from The Counseling Team International, join us “On the Line” to talk about post traumatic stress, and post traumatic growth.

Adapting authoritarianism: institutions and co-optation in Egypt and Syria
No full textThis PhD thesis compares Egypt and Syria’s authoritarian political systems. While the tendency in social science political research treats Egypt and Syria as similarly authoritarian, this research emphasizes differences between the two systems with special reference to institutions and co-optation. Rather than reducibly understanding Egypt and Syria as sharing similar histories, institutional arrangements, or ascribing to the oft-repeated convention that “Syria is Egypt but 10 years behind,” this thesis focuses on how events and individual histories shaped each states current institutional strengthens and weaknesses. Specifically, it explains the how varying institutional politicization or de-politicization affects each state’s capabilities for co-opting elite and non-elite individuals.
Beginning with a theoretical framework that considers the limited utility of democratization and transition theoretical approaches, the work underscores the persistence and durability of authoritarianism. Chapter two details the politicized institutional divergence between Egypt and Syria that began in the 1970s. Chapter three and four examines how institutional politicization or de-politicization affects elite and non-elite individual co-optation in Egypt and Syria. Chapter five discusses the study’s general conclusions and theoretical implications.
This thesis’s argument is that Egypt and Syria co-opt elites and non-elites differently because of the varying degrees of institutional politicization in each governance system. Rather than view one country as more politically developed than the other, this work argues that Syria’s political institutions are more politicized than their Egyptian counterparts. Syria’s political arena is, thus, described as politicized-patrimonialism. Syria’s politicized-patrimonial arena produces uneven co-optation of elites and non-elites as they are diffused through competing institutions. Conversely, the Egyptian political arena remains highly personalized as weak institutions and individuals are manipulated and molded according to the president’s ruling clique. This is referred to as personalized-patrimonialism. As a consequence, Egypt’s political establishment demonstrates more flexibility in ad hoc altering and adapting its arena depending on the emergence of crises.
This study’s theoretical implications suggest that, contrary to modernization and democratization theory’s adage that institutions lead to a political development, politicized institutions within a patrimonial order actually hinder regime adaptation because consensus is harder to achieve and maintain. It is within this context that Egypt’s de-politicized institutional framework advantages its top political elite. In this reading of Egyptian and Syrian politics, Egypt’s personalized political arena is more adaptable than Syria’s. These conclusions do not indicate that political reform is a process underway in either state
