New Westoxication
Jalal Al-e Ahmad was an Iranian public intellectual and writer, best known for his concise, modern prose and bold critique. One of his works was a famous monograph on what he termed westoxication . This article addresses the question: can this concept be narrowed down to a more specific sociological phenomenon? I argue that it can be used to describe a distinct Southern mode of cultural consumption rooted in a collective disregard for the legacy …
Could we use blood donation campaigns as social policy tools? British Shi’i ritual of giving blood
This article examines the role of the third sector and civil society in addressing the inadequacies of state policies on migration in Europe. It centres on the Imam Hussain Blood Donation Campaign (IHBDC), a faith-based, third sector organisation which is established by second and third generation of Shia Muslim British citizens. The study utilises ethnography and interviews with all of the main figures of the IHBDC activists and many donors acro…
Enchantment - Disenchantment-Re-Enchantment
Andrew's white cross, Hussain's red blood
Brexit was a project shaped at the fringes of official politics. Unusually, however, it maintained its fringe-like qualities, including its lack of clarity and ambivalence, even as it took centre stage in the political affairs of the country for more than three years. In such a transitional period, powerless segments of society, including vulnerable non-white communities, face a much larger and more multifaceted crisis than other sectors of the p…

The standard narrative of the emergence, rise and decline of Silicon Valley companies focuses on the evolution of institutions and technological waves, not the mentality of the innovators and entrepreneurs. This article argues that this type of explanation of the rise and decline of the Silicon Valley firms and institutions can hardly be sufficient. The suggestion is that a neo-Khaldunian theory could shed light on the issue. This article is an a…
Theism and Atheism in a Post-Secular Age
The Postmodern as a Presence
A new typology of modern atheisms
This paper distinguishes between two types of modern atheisms: pilgrim atheism versus tourist atheism. Pilgrim atheism is based on and firmly supports the religion/science dichotomy. New Atheism is today’s well-known representative of pilgrim atheism which is characterised by its hostility to all religions. However, their very atheistic conception of the human being as a cognitively privileged animal depends on a theological conception of humanit…
A post-secular reading of public sociology
There are two theses originally put forward by Michael Burawoy but which still need to be highlighted; the first is the necessity of challenging the assumed neutrality of the social sciences and the second is the necessity of public engagement in the form of encouraging co-practice in society. Burawoy suggests public sociology should play a role in the struggle to protect humanity against the tyranny of the market. I tend to challenge this by arg…
