Inquisitive racialization or race after secularization: A Critical Phenomenological Approach
In this article, we develop the notion of ‘inquisitive racialization’, to elaborate a critical phenomenological perspective on how the expectation that religion should be privatized and/or made invisible under secularization can enable, and even stimulate, a specific form of racialization. We show that this is specifically relevant for understanding antisemitism and Islamophobia, discussing two literary and theatrical works: a fragment from the n…
"I do not have enough religion to change it". Race and religion after assimilationism and colonialism
Genealogies of ‘Jews’ and ‘Muslims’: Social imaginaries in the race–religion nexus
The contributions were presented at a workshop of the same name held in Amsterdam in June 2017
A crooked, passion-laden mirror’: ‘Jews’ and ‘Muslims’ as a European question beyond religio-secularism
In this article, Jansen attempts to demonstrate that addressing the religious practices of Jews and Muslims from the perspective of a religio-secular framework in today’s European context underestimates the complexity of semiotic relations between Muslims, Jews and other Europeans. She discusses this complexity in terms of ‘intercultural semiotics’ between the three groups. In particular, she focuses on what she calls ‘mirroring relations’, drawi…
Beyond Comparing Secularisms
“Religio-secularism” denotes the tendency to understand specific cultural and political conflicts in terms an opposition between religion on the one hand and secularism on the other. Religio-secularism as a cultural-political paradigm tends to obscure the intricacies of political, socioeconomic, cultural-historical, religious, and ideological dimensions of specific situations (and often conflicts) that require complex analysis and evaluation. Rel…

The irregularization of migration in contemporary Europe: Detention, deportation, drowning
Working from an interdisciplinary perspective that draws on the social sciences, legal studies, and the humanities, this book investigates the causes and effects of the extremities experienced by migrants. Firstly, the volume analyses the development and political-cultural conditions of current practices and discourses of "bordering," "illegality," and "irregularization." Secondly, it focuses on the varieties of irregularization and on the divers…

Secularism, Assimilation and the Crisis of Multiculturalism: French Modernist Legacies
Postsecularism, piety and fanaticism: Reflections on Jürgen Habermas' and Saba Mahmood’s critiques of secularism
This article analyses how recent critiques of secularism in political philosophy and cultural anthropology might productively be combined and contrasted with each other. I will show that Jürgen Habermas' postsecularism takes insufficient account of elementary criticisms of secularism on the part of anthropologists such as Talal Asad and Saba Mahmood. However, I shall also criticize Saba Mahmood's reading of secularism by arguing that, in the end,…
