1. Aims, contents and method of the course
Eve is a highly significant character in all societies and cultures influenced by the 'Abrahamic' religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam). However, her image and its multiple implications, differ significantly among these. Whereas the Bible (Genesis 3) depicts Eve as feeding the forbidden fruit to Adam, the Qur'anic Paradise narrative altogether lacks the seductive female motif. Nevertheless, later Islamic sources do reflect demonisation of the feminine body and spirit. Perceived as the archetypal woman to this day, the image of Eve has influenced gender relations and the representation of women in numerous aspects of society. Through use of (translated) primary and secondary sources, as well as class discussions, this course will explore the complex character and many depictions of Eve (Hawwa') in Islam, from a fallen figure to a prophetess; and examine how these religious and literary images serve to legitimise other perceptions of womanhood in Islam. The course is a mixture of lectures and seminar discussions.
