Towards Understanding the Role of Islamic Jurists in Shaping Armed Group Behavior
Armed non-state groups that frame grievances in Islamic terms now govern large territories, and military campaigns have often failed or backfired as their reach expands. Over half of intrastate wars involve movements seeking Islamic forms of statecraft, yet such conflicts are less amenable to international mediation. Drawing on cases from Mali and Syria, this paper shows how Islamic jurists interpret foundational texts (Qur’an and Prophetic tradi…
Anthropology in times of escalating conflicts
Escalating conflicts often lead to the proliferation of oversimplified narratives and intense pressure to conform to them. Anthropology can play a crucial role in such situations by (1) analysing the origins and mechanisms of enforcement of these narratives across various contexts, providing a more nuanced understanding of the conflict's dynamics; (2) challenging dominant framings of specific aspects of the conflict by producing contextualized kn…
Civility as collective self-care in Nablus (Palestine)
The inhabitants of the Palestinian city of Nablus in the West Bank, which has been under Israeli military rule since 1967, practice bottom-up civility to shape public life in spite of political rights being denied to them. As most institutional forms of ‘civil society’ are deeply distrusted, everyday civility among Palestinians dynamically reacts to occurrences of political violence. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Nablus in 2013 and 2014, thi…

Based on fieldwork in the Palestinian city of Nablus (2013–2014) where institutional channels for distributing zakat had become blocked due to security crackdowns in 2008, this article analyses direct zakat practices where givers and receivers confront one another in face-to-face interaction. In Nablus, …

Ethnographies of Islam
What does an ethnographic perspective contribute to scholarly understandings of Islam? The edited volume Ethnographies of Islam covers a range of ‘ritual performances and everyday practices’ that, arguably, only such a perspective can bring to light. The editors bring together twelve anthropologists, three political scientists, two sociologists, and a linguist whose contributions are held together by the overarching endeavour of studying ‘Islam a…
