Queer Muslim Subjectivity
Identities of nonnormative genders and sexualities in Malaysia have recently transformed in tune with global developments. The particularity of a queer identity (i.e., an identity by people who do not feel that they belong to the cisheteronormative majority society in terms of their sexual or gendered orientation or identity) evolved in the Malaysian context only around 10–15 years ago. This can be traced by the growing visibility of local queer …
Super-Power’ in the Grave
This ethnographic article shows how state institutions in Malaysia classify certain spiritual practices undertaken at the graves of former religious leaders or prophets as superstitious ( khurafat ) and, therewith, unacceptable in Islam. Many people believe in a “super-power” ( keramat ) that the dead person had and in the miracles that surrounded them. However, the way the superpower is dealt with at the graves varies greatly depending on the re…
Reconfiguring gender, kinship, and spirituality
In the public and private spaces of Malaysia's capitalist cities, Malay women abide by a stricter Islamic dress code than they do in rural areas. Hence, in this local context, spatial public/private and 'placial' rural/urban order are of importance for gender identifications and practices. These orders imply influences on gendered forms of embodiment in the form of dress codes. This research examines the sociocultural constitutions of space and p…
Sexual im/mobilities
The current conflations and opportunities created by globalization lead to an invisible phenomenon of mobility: pilgrimage performed by queer Muslims. Broadly understood as either impossible to be queer and Muslim or as a sin, queer Muslim pilgrimage is a global phenomenon of our times. However, it only gains sketchy attention in mainstream debates on Muslim identities. What is missing is a conceptual understanding of queer Muslim pilgrimage as a…
Bringing Intersectionality to the Core of Social and Cultural Anthropology
Social and cultural anthropology is a descriptive, theorising and comparative social science. It has a holistic orientation, i.e. it directs its gaze to complex interrelationships between different subfields of cultural dynamics. However, this understanding is not a stand-alone feature of the anthropological approach, but is also valid for the intersectionality framework. This article seeks to explore the relationship between both approaches, as …
Muslim Fashion
In Malaysia, a Muslim-majority country in Southeast Asia, a dynamic market for Muslim fashion has evolved over the past decade, especially concerning the abaya , a female Muslim dress. Malay Malaysian designers, producers and consumers focus on this garment because it represents a style of female Islamic clothing that is perceived as ‘authentic’. The abaya originates from the Arabian Peninsula and is generally worn by Arabic Muslim women with a s…
Gendered pilgrimage
Muslim women experience the pilgrimage to Mecca differently from their fellow males. This is not surprising when one considers the many feminist and gender-sensitive studies that have been dealing with social, political, historical, cultural, and economic issues from women’s and gendered perspectives. The surprising fact is the silence on the gendered experiences of Muslim pilgrimage—of hajj and umrah. This article examines fundamental difference…
Muslim Women’s Pilgrimage to Mecca and Beyond
This book investigates female Muslims pilgrimage practices and how these relate to women’s mobility, social relations, identities, and the power structures that shape women’s lives. Bringing together scholars from different disciplines and regional expertise, it offers in-depth investigation of the gendered dimensions of Muslim pilgrimage and the life-worlds of female pilgrims. With a variety of case studies, the contributors explore the experien…
Migration as mobility? An intersectional approach
Within the inclusive approach of mobility studies, migration has been referred to as one of the most prominent forms of mobility. However, discussing all migrants’ experiences as just “mobile” experiences shadows the range and nuances of migration. This paper argues and illustrates how migration can be a form of mobility and also addresses migration as a much nuanced form of mobility that has been rather silent in existing literature. We examine …
Embodying and consuming modernity on Muslim pilgrimage
Muslim pilgrimage has gained much attention in public debates and academic research. This article examines gendered shopping practices among Muslim Malay Malaysian women performing pilgrimage (umrah) connected with ziarah, which is understood here as part religious observance and part holiday and leisure, through a multi-sited ethnographic study. Only a few studies have examined Muslim pilgrimage using a theoretical gender optic and fewer by taki…
Muslim Mobilities and Gender
Mobility represents the common imagination that the current world is in a constant flux, based on, for example, technical development, wide arrays of infrastructure and digital communication [...]
I can give you money but there is no use. The best thing I [can] give you is education.” Negotiating Educational Migration and Gender in a Chinese Malaysian family
Over the past two decades, Singapore has steadily become a popular destination for migrants. While the reasons for migrating to Singapore are many and contextual, labour and education have been the primary driving factors for attracting migrants from around the world to Singapore. Although a popular migrants’ destination, education and migration policies in Singapore are often gendered, and are negotiated along and across other axes of identifica…
