Sounded Difference and Displacement in Jordan's “Unified” Call to Prayer
This article examines the “unification” of the Islamic call to prayer over the radio in Jordan. In this national project, neighborhood mosques amplify a live, centralized radio broadcast of the call. This results in an urban soundscape layered with echoes of the same voice. Turning to the accounts of three Syrian Muslim musicians in Amman, I examine how their evaluations of the unified call to prayer draw on memory, ethical training, and transnat…

Psychological theorizing about post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has developed considerably since early behavioural formulations (Brewin, Dalgleish, & Joseph, 1996; Mowrer, 1960) and there have been parallel developments in biological understanding (Yehuda, 1998).
