Ramadan: Devotion, compassion, and purification in Sydney
While Ramadan in Western societies has been studied extensively in relation to health issues, no research to date has explored its representation through social scientific lenses. This article uses the Greater Western Sydney region in New South Wales, Australia, as a case study. This agglomeration of suburbs from the outer western suburbs of Sydney to the Blue Mountains has the highest proportion of Muslims in the country. To understand the repre…
Out of focus: Photography of African slavery in Qajar Iran
In this article, I historicize same-sex desire in the Middle East, across North Africa, and the regions formerly a part of the Ottoman Empire, to better investigate Middle Eastern contemporary art and its relationship to colonial discourses on gender that had an impact on same-sex desire.

Chief Editor’s introduction
Healing, in conjunction with dream and vision requests at sacred sites, is a well-documented phenomenon in Turkey and the Middle East, and plays a major role in local Muslim traditions. This article presents an ethnographic account of dreaming and healing traditions, focusing on the worship of Hızır and Şeyh Yusuf el-Hekim commonly practised at pilgrimage sites in Hatay, Turkey. It demonstrates how Muslims and Christians visit these pilgrimage si…

Particular significance is attributedto the powers of jewels and gems, as well as to the virtues of fabulous stones andconcretions. The meaning of such stones in terms of colour and symbolism isinterpreted by local experts, who frequently refer to mythological narratives. Someof these stones are thought to have ma…
