MUHAMMAD IN THE DIGITAL AGE
Book ID/图书代码： 13590015B86015
English Summary/英文概要： The early twenty-first century has experienced an unrivaled dissemination of information and misinformation about Islam, its prophet Muhammad, and its followers, largely facilitated by the fact that the tragedy of 9/11 roughly coincided with the advent of the digital age. In the first collection of its kind, Ruqayya Khan has compiled essays that treat Muhammad and the core elements of Islam as focal points in an exploration of how the digital era—including social media and other expressions—have both had an effect on and been affected by Islam.
Scholars from a variety of fields deal with topics such as the 2005 cartoon controversy in Denmark and the infamous 2012 movie trailer “Innocence of Muslims” that some believe sparked the attacks on the US consulate in Benghazi, as well as how the digitization of ancient texts have allowed the origins of Islam to be studied in new ways. Other essays examine how Muhammad’s wives have been represented in various online sources, including a web comic; the contrasting depictions of Muhammad as both a warrior and peacemaker; and how the widespread distribution of “the look” of Islamic terrorists has led to attacks on Sikhs, whose only point of resemblance to them may be a full beard. These findings illuminate the role of the Internet in forms of representation, advocacy, and engagement concerning Islam and Muslims in our world today.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 二十一世纪早期，世界上充斥着对于伊斯兰教、其先知穆罕默德以及他的追随者们的错误信息，这主要是因为911悲剧的发生恰逢数字化时代的到来。这是第一本涉及如此话题的书，Ruqayya Khan汇编的文章都以穆罕默德或伊斯兰教为中心，探索了融合社交媒体以及其他表现形式的数字时代和伊斯兰教之间的互相影响。
来自不同领域的学者们探讨的主题包括丹麦2005年的卡通争议，2012年的电影预告片“穆斯林的无知”，一些人认为正是这部电影引发了班加西的美国领事馆攻击事件，以及古代典籍的数字化如何允许我们用新的方式研究伊斯兰教的起源。其他文章则研究了各种在线资源、包括网络漫画，如何展现穆罕默德的妻子；对于穆罕默德的矛盾描述，他如何既是一个战士又是一个和事佬等等。(LYR)
Awards/获奖情况：随着互联网融入现代生活的各个方面，毫无疑问先知穆罕默德也会受到网上的诸多评论。在一些公开的事件中，比如丹麦的漫画、以及出现在YouTube视频网站上的“Innocence of’ Muslims ”节目等等，有关穆罕默德的陈述和穆罕默德的故事都是敏感的、而且成为了论战的目标。本书提供了一些关于这种现象的不同观点，均涉及到现代的交流传播工具。其中几篇文章的见解十分深刻。（Whitney S.

"With the explosion of Internet/cyber intrusions into every aspect of modern life, it is unsurprising that the prophet Muhammad should come under cyber-scrutiny. Very public events, such as the Danish cartoons and the YouTube video ‘Innocence of’ Muslims’ have shown that representations of Muhammad and the story of Muhammad are both sensitive and a target for polemics. This book offers a number of different perspectives on this phenomenon, all related to the effect of new modern tools of engagement. Several essays are exceptional in their insights and fairness."
