Abstract

Islamic veiling in legal discourse looks at relevant law and related discourses in order to examine the assumptions and limits of the debates around the issue of Islamic veiling, which has become so topical in recent years. For some, Islamic veiling indicates a lack of autonomy, the oppression of women and the threat of Islamic radicalism to western secular values. For others, it suggests a positive autonomous choice, a new kind of gender equality and a legitimate exercise of one's freedom of religion, a treasured right in democratic societies--Back cover.

Abstract

The acceptance of female leadership in mosques and madrassas is a significant change from much historical practice, signalling the mainstream acceptance of some form of female Islamic authority in many places. This volume investigates the diverse range of female religious leadership present in contemporary Muslim communities in South, East and Central Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and North America, with chapters discussing its emergence, the limitations placed upon it, and its wider impact, as well as the physical and virtual spaces used by women to establish and consolidate their authority. It will be invaluable as a reference text, as it is the first to bring together analysis of female Islamic leadership in geographically and ideologically-diverse Muslim communities worldwide.

Abstract

[2010] Pourquoi la question féminine cristallise-t-elle à ce point les passions dans le monde musulman ? Comment en est-elle venue à incarner toutes les peurs des milieux conservateurs face à la modernité ? Pour répondre à ces questions et, éventuellement, proposer des solutions, il ne suffit pas d'en rester au niveau de l'histoire des faits : il faut se plonger dans l'histoire des représentations, y compris les plus obscures et les plus inconscientes. L'auteur explore ainsi l'image de la femme dans le discours orthodoxe, depuis le Coran jusqu'aux Codes de la famille contemporains : subalterne, tentatrice... Mais elle dévoile aussi un pan méconnu de la littérature musulmane : son « discours érotique religieux » qui révèle une femme « omnisexuelle, animale et insatiable » face à laquelle l'homme est réduit à un phallus à jamais insatisfaisant. Mêlant analyse sociologique et science des textes, cette étude qui fit scandale lors de sa première parution est à nouveau disponible, dans une version mise à jour.
