Surveillance Demystified
The power of state surveillance derives, in large part, from the pervasive and paralysing fear it generates in those subjected to its panoptic gaze. In this article, I explore how Turkish dissidents try to fend off such fear of surveillance through the performance of what I call ‘apotropaic belittlement’. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in Turkey and its diaspora in Euro-America, I show how critics of the Turkish regime cultivate fearle…
Devotion, adaptability, contradiction
The Islamic revivalist project advanced by the followers of the Turkish preacher, Fethullah Gülen, has always been characterized by an aspiration to serve God in accordance with the norms and sensitivities of different social, political and cultural contexts. The potentials and limits of such adaptability were put to the test in the tumultuous period preceding Turkey’s deadly 2016 failed coup and during its dramatic aftermath, when many of Gülen’…
Divergent Views of Migration
How can insights and theories from contemporary migration research inform the study of biblical texts and extant sources about people on the move? Throughout 2024, the four authors of this article—two biblical scholars, a historian, and an anthropologist—have tackled this question from different angles. This article grows from these ongoing multidisciplinary conversations and falls into three parts. First, we sketch in broad strokes how human mob…
Revolt within the ranks
Although the recently deceased Turkish Islamic preacher, Fethullah Gülen, was the founding figure and undisputed leader of the Hizmet community for half a century, he was not the community’s sole source of authority. As Hizmet expanded, authority and decision-making capacity were increasingly embedded in an intricate, hierarchical set of structures and procedures—that is, in a bureaucracy. The contours of this bureaucracy were shaped and formed b…
The Awkward Imam
Focusing on Turkish imams in Europe, this article explores how religious authority travels and translates across geographical distances and cultural differences. Imams are often depicted as influential transnational figures channeling religious and political affect from the “homeland” to the diaspora with little restraint. By contrast, this article explores the manifold layers of “friction” that arise from everyday encounters between Turkish imam…
Migratory Thought
In recent decades, biblical scholars have begun to read the narratives about ancient persons and peoples on the move in dialogue with modern migration studies. As part of this broader trend, I became involved in a research project focused on descriptions of the earliest Jewish diaspora in the Hebrew Bible and historical documents due to my background as an anthropologist specializing in contemporary migration. This article aims to strengthen and …
As through a glass darkly
Standard Euro-American ideas of sincerity revolve around an idea of the transparent alignment of one's outer acts with the inner self, such that the audience can clearly deduce the latter from the former. The development and spread of such ideas has been widely linked to the emergence of modern subjectivity. This article expands upon these analyses, contrasting them with Islamic notions of sincerity (ikhlāṣ) which is predicated not on transparenc…
Lale’s un/veiling trajectory
Based on long-term fieldwork among members of the formerly influential Sunni Muslim Hizmet community in Istanbul in 2015, this contribution traces the ‘un/veiling trajectory’ of a woman called Lale, referring to her shifting engagement with the headscarf over a period of almost three decades. Rather than exemplifying a fragmented religiosity, these shifts are understood as articulations of Lale’s aspiration to align her Islamic commitment with th…
Med Bønnen Som Våben
Denne artikel undersøger, hvordan bøn praktiseres og forandres i en sammenhæng gennemsyret af politisk konflikt og eksistentiel usikkerhed. Baseret på mere end et års feltarbejde i Istanbul viser artiklen, hvordan medlemmer af den tidligere magtfulde sunnimuslimske Hizmet-bevægelse anvendte bønner til at forstå og handle i en dramatisk konflikt med den tyrkiske regering, og hvordan den eskalerende konflikt omformulerede deres forhold til bøn. Art…
Dreams from Beyond as Politics from Below
Building on ethnographic fieldwork in Istanbul in 2015, this article traces how certain people within the Hizmet community drew on dream stories to understand and manoeuvre within the escalating falling-out with the AKP government. It suggests that, in this context, dream stories were circulated within the community to reframe the conflict against the horizon of the afterlife but prevented from spilling into the wider public sphere out of fear th…
