That still goes on, doesn't it, in their religion?’ British values, Islam and vernacular discourse
This article explores ‘everyday’ or ‘vernacular’ conceptions of Muslims, Islam and their relationship to ‘British values’. Drawing on original data from focus groups in the East of England, it argues that the relationship is typically constructed around a series of binary pairings. Where Islam is held to be traditional, conservative, pious and outmoded, British values are seen as progressive, liberal, secular and modern. This opposition matters f…

In 2016 I made my first ever film enti…
Public conceptions and constructions of ‘British values’
This article draws on original focus group research to explore constructions of ‘British values’, in ‘everyday’ discourse. Two prominent, yet competing conceptions of this term are identified: political/institutional and social/cultural. Although each of these conceptions risks essentialising ‘British values’, this risk is mitigated by publics in at least three ways: (1) explicit recognition of the term’s ambiguities; (2) discussion of its politi…
There are ghosts in these houses!’
In one scene in Toss Up (Yazi/Tura, Ugur Yucel, 2004), the war veteran protagonist looks at the cave houses of his hometown Goreme after a night of heavy drinking and says in bewilderment: ‘There a
