| description |
This article is an ethnographic study on the ways in which an Islamic institution of Arab origin of the city of Córdoba transmits and teaches Islam through the use of religious literature and the resignification of the Sunni tradition. The objective is to investigate how some members -shaijs, institutional leaders, Arab descendants and converts- re-signify narratives of the Sunni tradition that deal with the symbolic transmission procedures considered strictly Islamic: writing and orality - memorization and recitation. It will be argued that, being valued as the primary forms of transmission of revelation, the institution sought to encourage the teaching and apprehension of Islamic doctrine and its values, imitating the imagined forms of communications of the time of the prophet. Preserving this custom in a Catholic-majority society represented a sign of distinction from which they built an ideal of a local Muslim community, delineated hierarchies within it and established borders with other religious groups. Throughout the article it will be shown, whitin field and bibliographical material, that the study of the circulation of islamic written culture and its modalities of appropriation allows to approach from a novel angle the recreation of belief, the reproduction of religious belongings and community construction. |

Este artículo es un estudio etnográfico sobre las formas en que una institución islámica de origen árabe de la ciudad de Córdoba transmite y enseña el islam a través de la utilización de literatura religiosa y la resignificación de la tradición sunni. El objetivo es indagar de qué manera algunos miembros -shaijs, líderes institucionales, descendientes árabes y conversos- resignifican narrativas de la tradición sunni que versan sobre los procedimientos de transmisión simbólica considerados propiamente islámicos: escritura y oralidad - memorización y recitación. Se sostendrá que, al ser valorados como las formas primigenias de transmisión de la revelación, la institución buscaba fomentar la enseñanza y aprehensión de la doctrina islámica y sus valores, imitando lo imaginado de las formas comunicaciones de la época del profeta. Preservar esa costumbre en una sociedad de mayoría católica representaba un signo de distinción a partir del cual construían un ideal de comunidad musulmana local, delimitaban jerarquías en su interior y establecían fronteras frente a otros grupos religiosos. A lo largo del artículo se mostrará, por medio del material de campo y bibliográfico, que el estudio de la circulación de la cultura escrita islámica y sus modalidades de apropiación permite abordar desde un ángulo novedoso la recreación de las creencias, la reproducción de pertenencias religiosas y la construcción de comunidad. Este artigo é um estudo etnográfico sobre as formas pelas quais uma instituição islâmica de origem árabe na cidade de Córdoba transmite e ensina o Islã por meio do uso da literatura religiosa e da ressignificação da tradição sunita. O objetivo é investigar como alguns membros - shaijs, líderes institucionais, descendentes árabes e convertidos - ressignificam narrativas da tradição sunita que lidam com os procedimentos de transmissão simbólica considerados propriamente islâmicos: escrita e oralidade - memorização e recitação. Argumentaremos que, ao serem valorizadas como as formas primordiais de transmissão da revelação, as instituições buscavam promover o ensino e a apreensão da doutrina e dos valores islâmicos imitando as formas imaginadas de comunicação da época do profeta. Preservar esse costume em uma sociedade com maioria católica representava um sinal de distinção a partir do qual eles construíram um ideal de comunidade muçulmana local, delimitaram hierarquias dentro dela e estabeleceram limites em relação a outros grupos religiosos. Ao longo do artigo, mostraremos, por meio de material bibliográfico e de campo, que o estudo da circulação da cultura escrita islâmica e de seus modos de apropriação nos permite abordar a recriação de crenças, a reprodução do pertencimento religioso e a construção da comunidade sob um novo ângulo.
