Deconstruction of religious thought in Islam: Iqbal and the Ahmadiyya
Allama Muhammad Iqbal (1875 to 1938 CE) stood at the cusp of modernity in British India. As the “poet visionary” and “spiritual father” of Pakistan, his role as an anti-colonial intellectual who “dreamed” of carving out an independent Muslim homeland from British India is thoroughly ingrained in the popular imagination, state institutions, and political rhetoric. Other than Jinnah, the political “founder” of Pakistan, no other figure enjoys such …

Russia in world society: A comparative perspective on international references in parliamentary debates
This article explores how international references in parliaments build a synchronized world polity, even in countries that are often portrayed as being at odds with the rest of the world. The article asks whether and how Russian parliamentarians refer to the international community, and how such references compare with parliamentary debates in other countries. The 'mesophenomenological' argument developed here connects World Society Theory, whic…
Towards an imaginal dialogue: Archetypal symbols between Eastern Orthodox Christianity and Islam
This paper explores the potential for a dialogue between religious traditions based on art, in order to complement the dominant channels that rely on conceptual meanings. Building on a theoretical framework of post-Jungian archetypal psychology - as developed by James Hillman and Henry Corbin - we propose that the utility of such a dialogue inheres in the notion of an imaginal realm, or mundus imaginalis. In the first part of the paper we highlig…
Imageries of the social world in epistemic governance
To explain why neoinstitutionalist theories have been so successful in explaining global isomorphism and to discuss how they can be extended to describe otherwise inexplicable similarities in the world, the article approaches policy-making from an epistemic governance perspective. Utilizing a constructionist view on language, the article argues that popular and political rhetoric are inextricably bound to social scientific conceptions of reality …
Epistemic governance: An approach to the politics of policy-making
The aim of this paper is to make a meta-theoretical contribution to conceptions of how power and governance operate in contemporary policy-making. Most approaches to governance generally brush aside the actual mechanics of how influence is wielded and social change effected. To fill this gap we argue that society is managed increasingly through epistemic governance, which works on actors' perceptions of the world and its current challenges. Our p…
The Ideal of Utility in British Indian Policy: Tropes of the Colonial Chrestomathic University, 1835–1904
The now natural ideal of defining higher education through its societal utility is a relatively recent historical formation, and in the case of South Asia, its construction is entangled with the colonial history of the institutionalisation of modern higher education in the nineteenth century. Drawing on Robert Young's history of the Bentham-inspired ‘chrestomathic’ University of London, this article reviews the shifting construction of practicali…
Taming terror: Domestication of the war on terror in the Pakistan media
While media studies have focused on journalist roles in framing foreign news events for local readers to render them suitable for national audiences, there has been less attention to similar roles played by other social actors in bringing 'home' new models about existing realities. Therefore, this paper addresses the question of how a global catchphrase, 'war on terror,' acquired a national paradigm status by virtue of its use by multiple actors …
The domestication of foreign news: News stories related to the 2011 Egyptian revolution in British, Finnish and Pakistani newspapers
The article studies the domestication of foreign news by identifying the different ways in which the Egyptian revolt was reported and discussed in Britain, Finland and Pakistan. The data comprise the press coverage of the 2011 events in three newspapers: The Times in Britain, Helsingin Sanomat ( HS) in Finland, and the Daily Times in Pakistan. We argue that, in addition to journalists, there are other agents who contribute to domesticating foreig…
