“Employing jihad al-tabyyin and jihad al-lisan in performance activism, I highlight the social practices of contemporary Islamic movements, as manifestations of soft power, by discussing changes in religious discourses on art and entertainment, the reception and consumption of pious art production by different audiences, and the metamorphosis of Islamic ethics into aesthetic forms. Performance activism emphasizes the social practices of Islamic movements, by merging the performing arts with political mobilization via identity construction and reconstruction. In brief, jihad al-tabyyin refers to the duty and obligation incumbent upon believers to propagate and explain what they consider just, right, and equitable in accordance with the Qur’anic verse:(57: 25). Jihad al-tabyyin is a sort of a mobilizational command that requires the believers ‘to be where they have to be’ culturally, socially, and politically in the service of the honor and dignity of the umma.”

Geschiedenissen van de Islam in Nederland en Vlaanderen

Onder redactie van Vera Crienen, Martijn de Koning, Umar Ryad en Gerard Wiegers. Universitaire Pers Leuven 2024, 284 pp.

Het beeld van moslims en België en Nederland beperkt zich doorgaans tot dat van migranten die zich vanaf de jaren 1960 in deze landen vestigden. Deze perceptie doet echter geen recht aan de rijke geschiedenissen van de islam in de Lage landen, die startte met de Leuvens geleerde Nicolaas Cleynaerts die rond 1640 in Spanje en Marokko met een geleerde Tunesische slaaf, Kharuf, als leermeester het Arabisch bestudeerde. Deze bundel richt zich op die onderbelichte geschiedenissen van moslims en de islam en bevat een inleiding door de redacteuren en 13 bijdragen door Pieter Sjoerd van Koningsveld†, Gerard Wiegers, Richard van Leeuwen, Michiel Leezenberg, Vera Crienen, Peter Rietbergen, Herman Beck, Houssine Alloul en Hank de Smaele, Taha Yildiz en George Muishout, Maryse Kruithof, Koen Docter, Umar Ryad, Daya Buyle en Idesbald Goderis, en Arnoud Vrolijk.

📢PhD position in the anthropology of religion and Islam: funerary practices in a super diverse societyin Belgium. 📢
(ref. BAP-2024-482)

The Department of Social and Cultural Anthropologyat KU Leuven conducts state of the art anthropological research on questions as varied as urbanity, superdiversity, religion, mobility etc. The different research projects are organized around three thematic clusters: "making", "living" and "moving" around the world. Our department is also committed to long-term ethnographic research in order to gain an in-depth understanding on how individuals and groups organize their lives, relate to pasts and prefigure futures.

Project
Funeral preferences in secularised and superdiverse Western European societies, like Belgium, have become more individualised and diversified as compared to 50 years ago when most people were buried in a coffin following Catholic rituals. Most of the Western European population still adheres to the traditional funeral with a burial or cremation, having their funeral preferences supported by the current legal frameworks in their countries. However, in Europe and beyond, there is an undeniable diversification in funeral preferences amongst substantial minorities that is relatively understudied, with their needs hence much less accommodated by the law. Deathcare is a Strategic Fundamental (SBO) interdisciplinary and interuniversity research project funded by the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) gathering the University of Antwerp, the Institute of Tropical Medicine and KU Leuven. It aims to cultivate a better and more comprehensive understanding of these challenges in superdiverse societies to assist the development of a legally supported and sustainable funeral industry in Belgium. This PhD project is part of this larger SBO project that attends to the legal, environmental, cultural and medical aspects of these different challenges.

In this PhD project, the candidate will examine the funerary needs and socio-cultural practices of bereavement in a culturally superdiverse society. More specifically, this study examines the needs and socio-cultural practices of Muslim communities and professionals of the Islamic funerary sector in Belgium. As Belgium’s second largest religious community and largest religious minority, Muslims have recently faced a series of unprecedented challenges, as demand for Islamic cemeteries have grown significantly, especially after Covid-19, and are expected to grow in the years to come. Significantly, the traditionally largely transnational funerary practices have transitioned into local demands for Islamic funerals. This transition occurs in a highly charged context, given the practical barriers regarding Islamic cemeteries as well as the political and public controversies around this question. As such, cemeteries and funerals figure as an important symbolic site to examine how notions of belonging become renegotiated and reconfigured. While we focus on Muslim funerals specifically, this research project also seeks to examine, more broadly, how cemeteries can serve as public spaces of belonging. This PhD project is one of the four doctoral projects associated with this larger interdisciplinary project.

You will conduct anthropological research and write an ethnography on funerary practices among Muslim communities in Belgium in addition to academic and policy papers on the funerary needs in a superdiverse society. This research will involve qualitative interviews with professionals and stakeholders from the Islamic funerary sector, participant observation in cemeteries and ethnographic collaboration with concerned families, with the possibility of travelling abroad to examine transnational funerary practices. You will also work closely with the other PhD researchers and postdoctoral researcher of the consortium.

Profile
We seek a motivated and skilled candidate with a master’s degree in anthropology, sociology, religious studies or a related discipline and with the following qualitites:
- A strong experience in qualitative and ethnographic methods and anthropology or sociology of religion.
- Familiarity with death and/or Islamic studies as is demonstrated through their degrees, master thesis or courses followed at the undergraduate and (post)graduate level.
- Good familiarity with the Muslim community in North-Western Europe.
- High motivation and commitment to enrol in additional training (islamic ethics, methodology etc.)
- Fluency in Dutch and French is a requirement for the fieldwork. Knowledge of one of the community languages is a plus (e.g. Arabic, Amazigh, Turkish).
- Strong writing and communication skills in English and a strong academic performance at the BSc and MSc (min. cm laude).
- Capacity and willingness to work in close conjunction with other PhD and postdoctoral researchers of the consoritium and to participate to regular meetings at the University of Antwerp.

Offer
We offer a full-time doctoral position, initially for one year, which can be prolonged to up to four years in total after a positive evaluation by the doctoral committee after nine months. In addition to your research, you will assist in teaching courses or other administrative requirements in the department of Social and Cultural Anthropology (10% of your time).

The start date for this position is around 1 November 2024 but will depend on the candidate’s availability and HR workflows. Minor changes to this start date can be discussed

This is a PhD position in anthropology and you will be primarily based in the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology working with prof. Nadia Fadil ([email protected]). Additionally, you will also be co-supervised by prof. Chaima Ahaddour (theology and religious studies, [email protected]) and dr. Imane Kostet (sociology, University of Antwerp, [email protected]). You will be given support to participate in international academic conferences and publish your work in scientific journals. You will be provided with career guidance and encouraged to develop research-oriented skills through courses via the Doctoral School.

From clashes between linguistic theories to social movement dynamics to questioning the historical canon: you name it!

We are now calling for abstracts (300 words max., excluding bibliography) for talks and poster presentations. We invite any submission from (research) master and PhD students and will give special consideration for those which fit the broad theme of Resistance. Accepted submissions will receive feedback from assigned commentators at the conference.

Especially for our Dutch reading and speaking audience, we share the following event by ZemZem - Tijdschrift over het Midden-Oosten, Noord-Afrika en islam! The latest issue of the magazine will be launched on June 15th in Amsterdam!
——
ZemZem: Ter gelegenheid van het verschijnen van het nieuwste nummer over eetcultuur en voedselpolitieke organiseert tijdschrift ZemZem op 15 juni 2024 een culinair evenement in Maqam, Amsterdam. Hoewel ook veel moslims gruwelen bij het idee, behoort het eten van sommige insecten tot het culinaire erfgoed van het islamitisch Midden-Oosten. Hoe zit dat precies? En welke kansen biedt dat voor de verduurzaming van het voedselsysteem? Willem Flinterman vertelt er alles over in zijn lezing. Vervolgens zal Fausia S. Abdul zal vertellen over de invloed van een relatief kleine Arabische gemeenschap op de cuisine van het Caribisch gebied. Daarnaast krijgt u natuurlijk heerlijke hapjes te proeven waarover de koks u meer zullen vertellen. ZemZem-lezingen worden doorgaans bezocht door een breed publiek aan mensen die affiniteit hebben met het Midden-Oosten, Noord-Afrika en islam en zijn een uitstekende gelegenheid om gelijkgestemden te ontmoeten.
