Debating Islam

Conspicuously, Islam has become a key concern in most European societies with respect to issues of immigration, integration, identity, values and inland security. As the mere presence of Muslim minorities fails to explain these debates convincingly, new questions need to be asked: How did »Islam« become a topic? Who takes part in the debates? How do these debates influence both individual as well as collective »self-images« and »image of others«? Introducing Switzerland as an under-researched object of study to the academic discourse on Islam in Europe, this volume offers a fresh perspective on the objective by putting recent case studies from diverse national contexts into comparative perspective.

What is it like to be young and religious in migration society? This volume presents research at the intersection of religion, age and race. The chapters' foci range from methodological challenges to conceptual work and empirical case studies. The authors present research on various religious traditions including contributions on young Alevis, Hindus, Buddhists and Muslims, and apply an array of theoretical angles among them feminist, post- and de-colonial perspectives. Furthermore, the volume engages in the debate over novel conceptual frameworks attuned to investigate contemporary manifestations of youth religiosity, for example in digital spaces. The methodological chapters advocate for reflexivity in the context of empirical research on religion in migration society and promote a self-evaluative assessment of researchers' positionalities.

Das Wechselverhaltnis von Religion, Wirtschaft und Politik zu untersuchen, stellt die Wissenschaft vor komplexe Aufgaben. Das interuniversitare Schweizer Zentrum fur Religion, Wirtschaft und Politik (ZRWP) geht sie systematisch transdisziplinar an. Im vorliegenden Band zeigen Vertreter verschiedener Disziplinen programmatisch, worauf die Zusammenarbeit aufbauen kann. Sie untersuchen etablierte Theorien und Methoden (z.B. Sakularisierungstheorie, Diskursanalyse, rational choice) auf ihren Nutzen im Dienst transdizisplinarer Religionsforschung, prasentieren den Forschungsstand und bringen neue Ansatze in die Diskussion, etwa aus der Religionsokonomie, der Friedensforschung oder einer kommunika...

What makes this book special is the fact that, even though being diagnosed with Dyslexia.Overall, you will notice that the papers in the book have many grammatical and English errors in it. Additionally, it may sometimes even seem very confusing the flow of logic written down in this book. However, It is not meant on purpose. On the contrary, it is a means to demonstrate the hardship that a Dyslexic has in an academic environment, even with the vast support that he/she can receive. I invite you to keep in mind that those errors, which may seem evident to you, are, in fact, impossible for me to find on my own. As such, fundamentally, the papers are an attempt to share with the world the fundamental meaning of Dyslexia, which is not subject to level of intelligence, but beyond the control of individuals.

Illiberal Politics and Religion in Europe and Beyond

Globale Migrationsbewegungen, Sicherheitsbedrohungen und soziale Umwälzungen haben in den vergangenen Jahren den Aufstieg populistischer rechter Parteien und Bewegungen in Europa und im transatlantischen Raum befördert. Religiöse Akteure stellen potenzielle Allianzpartner für diese Gruppierungen dar. Denn religiöse Interpretationen, etwa die Bezugnahme auf christliche Traditionen, bieten ein Reservoir für die Konstruktion vermeintlich natürlicher Geschlechterordnungen, exkludierender Vorstellungen homogener Nationen und anti-muslimischer Narrative. Dieses Buch analysiert die ideologische, strukturelle und historische Verbindung von Religion und illiberalen Politiken in europäischen Demokratien.

Verhüllung

Die Diskussion um die Vollverhüllung muslimischer Frauen ist hoch emotional. Ob Gesichtsverhüllungen wie Nikab und Burka, aber auch Vermummung ohne religiös-kulturellen Bezug verboten werden sollen, entscheidet die Schweizer Stimmbevölkerung im Frühjahr 2021. Der Islamwissenschaftler Andreas Tunger-Zanetti ist mit Studierenden den Widersprüchen der sogenannten Burka-Debatte nachgegangen. Die entstandene Studie bietet zunächst neben einer kulturhistorischen Herleitung die erste solide Schätzung zur Anzahl vollverhüllter Frauen in der Schweiz, persönliche Aussagen einer Schweizer Nikabträgerin über ihre Beweggründe und Erfahrungen sowie einen Vergleich mit der Forschung anderer westeuropäischer Länder und skizziert die politischen Vorstösse der letzten Jahre. Im zweiten Teil arbeitet das Team anhand typischer Beiträge in Presse und Fernsehen heraus, was hinter der Debatte steckt. Thematisiert werden auch die jüngsten Entwicklungen wie der Tod der bekanntesten Schweizer Nikabträgerin und die amtlich angeordnete "Verhüllung" in Zeiten der Corona-Pandemie.
