Embodiment and Relationality in Religions of Africa and Its Diasporas
Melodically rocking Sufi bodies remember God on a former plantation in South Carolina, reconnecting with ancestors and an imagined homeland. Dancers in Martinique use the sound of the bl drum to achieve emotional transcendence and resist alienation caused by centuries of French assimilation. Devotees of Mama Tchamba in Togo use shuffling steps, dress, and ritual to placate the spirits of formerly enslaved people from the North whom their own ance…

Pious Practice and Secular Constraints
Islam and Culture
Over the last decades, Europe debates on Islam have been framed increasingly through the lens of cultural difference. In this discursive climate, culture constitutes a crucial terrain of investment for European Muslims in their struggle for inclusion and recognition. Based on two different ethnographic research projects among European Muslims, this essay examines two distinct types of culture discourses. One employs an Islam-versus-culture trope …
Introduction
IntroductionIslamic Sounds and the Politics of Listening Jeanette S. Jouili and Annelies Moors In the course of the last decades, sonic forms of Islam—including sound, music, and the spoken word—have diversified and become publicly present through an increasingly wide range of new technologies. These include, for instance, the call to prayer (adhān) disseminated through loudspeakers, radio, and television; the circulation of Quranic recitations, …
Refining the Umma in the Shadow of the Republic
In recent years, young pious Muslims in France have become increasingly active as arts practitioners, notably in the domain of music and performing arts. This engagement is often explained with the desire to offer the French Muslim community an alternative to the ubiquitous secular mass culture deemed detrimental to a pious subjectivity. Because the official structures of the Islamic revival movement have for a long time adopted quite a restricti…

Beyond Emancipation
This article addresses the complex reflections regarding gender relations expressed by women active in the contemporary Islamic revival movements in Europe (especially France and Germany). Much recent research conducted among these groups aims to counter the rather negative accounts prevailing in public discourses on gender and Islam. This literature notably argues that women's conscious turn to Islam is not necessarily a reaffirmation of male do…
Negotiating secular boundaries
This article discusses how religious Muslim women negotiate Islamic prayer and Islamic dress within French and German public spheres where Islamic connoted bodily practices are not easily accommodated. While these women perceive their practice first and foremost in terms of devotional practices with the objective to fashion and strengthen a pious self, within the context of these secular public spheres they also get entangled in (re‐)significatio…
L’émergence de discours intellectuels islamiques en Allemagne
The Islamic charter of the Zentralrat der Muslime in Deutschland (ZMD) and female-centred exegetical work undertaken by the Zentrum für Islamische Frauenforschung (ZIF) represent two types of publications stemming from organisations with very divergent profiles and political weight. Both reflect the fundamental problem that Islamic intellectual discourse has to deal with: achieving political recognition of Muslims, on the one side, and competitio…
