Sufism, a path of spiritual, mystic and esoteric purification in the Islamic world, has played a central\u00a0role in the history of Islam as regards its artistic, philosophical, ethical and political developments.
\nIn the Modern age, Sufism suffered a twofold attack: on one hand from \u201cIslamic reformists\u201d\u00a0(Salafi and Wahabi), who consider Sufism to be a form of innovation and syncretism and, on the\u00a0other, from \u201cModernists\u201d, who see it as an archaic religious manifestation. Nonetheless, Sufism\u00a0in the contemporary world shows great vitality: new brotherhoods have been founded and existing\u00a0ones have acquired renewed energy. This revival of contemporary Sufism deserves further\u00a0study, and that is why the Fondazione Giorgio Cini, with Francesco Piraino, director of the\u00a0Centre for Comparative Studies of Civilisations and Spiritualities, in collaboration with Mark\u00a0Sedgwick (University of Aarhus) decided to organize this international conference.<\/p>\n

The themes to\u00a0be addressed are: the new theological forms of Sufi, with a special focus on the relationship with\u00a0the Other; policies of Sufism; and its cultural and religious influence on society. A second objective\u00a0of the conference is to introduce some topics of Sufism and Islam to a wider audience. For this\u00a0purpose, one of the invited speakers is Khaled Bentounes. A Sufi master in the Alawiyya brotherhood,\u00a0he will deal with the relationship between Islam and Sufism.<\/p>\n
