Abstract

This study will focus on the Indonesian jilbab, an ubiquitous piece of cloth that covers the hair and neck of women tightly, leaving no skin unconcealed. Achievement and role of jilbab after the authoritarian regime of Soeharto in 1998 is hardly known. The author examines women perception but also the Sharia Ordinances and the narratives of censorship. Voices of both women and sexual minorities (transgenders, gays, lesbians, bisexuals and queers) finally demonstrate awareness of the politics of representation in contemporary Indonesia, highlighting the links between religion, politics and identity.

Abstract

The tradition of the veil, which refers to various cloth coverings of the head, face, and body, has been little studied in Africa, where Islam has been present for more than a thousand years. These lively essays raise questions about what is distinctive about veiling in Africa, what religious histories or practices are reflected in particular uses of the veil, and how styles of veils have changed in response to contemporary events. Together, they explore the diversity of meanings and experiences with the veil, revealing it as both an object of Muslim piety and an expression of glamorous fas

Abstract

In her book, Juliane Kanitz not only examines the frequently asked question of why Muslim women wear a headscarf, but also concentrates on how it is worn. She is concerned with the cultural, aesthetic and fashionable preferences of women and not primarily with the religious motives that are otherwise often the focus of attention. In addition to a contribution to research on the Muslim headscarf, the author presents theoretical and empirical supplements to Islamic fashion and Islam in Germany as a whole. She also discusses the debate on Europeanization, in which arguments against Muslims are put forward, and develops some perspectives on the topic of the headscarf in Germany that have not yet been taken into account, made possible by the new perspective of fashion. Juliane Kanitz is a European ethnologist and works for the Protestant Interdisciplinary Research Center in Heidelberg (FEST) in the project "Religion in new city quaters."

Abstract

The Politics of the Headscarf in the United States investigates the social and political effects of the practice of Muslim-American women wearing the headscarf (hijab) in a non-Muslim state. The authors find the act of head covering is not politically motivated in the U.S. setting, but rather it accentuates and engages Muslim identity in uniquely American ways.Transcending contemporary political debates on the issue of Islamic head covering, The Politics of the Headscarf in the United States addresses concerns beyond the simple, particular phenomenon of wearing the headscarf itself, with the authors confronting broader issues of lasting import. These issues include the questions of safeguarding individual and collective identity in a diverse democracy, exploring the ways in which identities inform and shape political practices, and sourcing the meaning of citizenship and belonging in the United States through the voices of Muslim-American women themselves.The Politics of the Headscarf in the United States superbly melds quantitative data with qualitative assessment, and the authors smoothly integrate the results of nearly two thousand survey responses from Muslim-American women across forty-nine states. Seventy-two in-depth interviews with Muslim women living in the United States bolster the arguments put forward by the authors to provide an incredibly well-rounded approach to this fascinating topic.Ultimately, the authors argue, women's experiences with identity and boundary construction through their head-covering practices carry important political consequences that may well shed light on the future of the United States as a model of democratic pluralism.

Abstract

Et si, aujourd'hui, Antigone s'appelait Aïcha ? Et si son objection de conscience prenait la forme du hijab ?&#x0D;Essayons : le vénérable texte de Sophocle résiste étonnamment bien à l'exercice. Les personnages n'ont rien perdu de leur jeunesse, les dialogues de leur actualité.&#x0D;Aujourd'hui, comme il y a vingt-cinq siècles, lorsque Athènes faisait l'expérience de la démocratie, le religieux relance nos interrogations : où passe, en régime d'autonomie et d'égalité, la limite du permis et de l'interdit ? Où placer les dieux dans cet agencement du collectif ? Où s'arrête le ressort de la cité et où commence l'empire du foyer ?&#x0D;Mais le théâtre, c'est d'abord et surtout la mise en intrigue de l'humain. Car le voile n'est ni une abstraction, ni un dogme, mais l'énigme d'une femme chaque fois différente. Chaque Aïcha voilée, c'est une humanité qui se cherche. Et la cité qui doit réinventer les formes de sa civilité.&#x0D;(editions.larcier.com)&#x0D;

Abstract

Ausgehend von den anhaltenden Debatten um das islamische Kopftuch in staatlichen Bildungseinrichtungen Deutschlands und Frankreichs analysiert Schirin Amir-Moazami die Logiken der Diskursproduktion über den Islam und bringt die Argumente der Kritiker mit den Stimmen Kopftuch tragender junger Musliminnen ins Gespräch. Die Studie zeichnet nach, wie die wachsende Partizipation sichtbarer Muslime, hier symbolisiert durch das Kopftuch, im dominanten Diskurs beider Länder Abwehrreaktionen provoziert und der Islam mehrheitlich als Gegenkategorie zu jeweils national geprägten Säkularitätskonzepten begriffen wird. Zugleich zeigt sie, wie die jungen Frauen in die Diskurstraditionen beider Länder eingebettet sind und sich in komplexen Aushandlungsprozessen engagieren. »Das Buch [ist] methodisch wegweisend: So schafft Amir-Moazami es gerade durch die Gegenüberstellung von Mikro- und Makroperspektive, differenzierte Erkenntnisse über die Kopftuchdebatten in Frankreich und Deutschland zu gewinnen, hinter die die zukünftige Forschung nicht mehr zurückfallen sollte.« Miriam Schader, Soziologische Revue, 31 (2008) Besprochen in: WDR 5, 08.07.2007, Semiran Kaya Zeitschrift für Politikwissenschaft-Bibliografie, 4 (2007) www.denkladen.de, 1 (2008)
