“…I understand identifications (for example gendered, religious, ethnic, national, sexual, classed) as categories of difference, as part of human classification systems, as social processes which emphasise a subject's agency and various contextual dependencies, and as structures, in the sense of power structures, which whilst not static are still difficult to overcome. This means understanding gender and religion as systems within cultural settings which can relate to identity, social relationships, social practices and/ or power (see Höpflinger et al 2012).…”

“…through which male-female differences are conceptualized have been recognized to be, to a large extent, of a social and cultural nature (King 1995;King and Beattie 2005;Kilmartin 2009). This is so because gender, as a concept itself, operates within a number of contexts including the historical, social, political, economic, religious, and ideological (Connell 2002;Hopflinger, Lavanchy, and Dahinden 2012).…”

In this article, I discuss the tensions between patriarchal and non-patriarchal interpretations of the Islamic tradition and some of the factors which contribute to the engendering of both. In order to contextualize the main discussion in the first part of the article, I outline the historical tensions between the study of religion and gender in general. The question of whether the culturally organizing function of gender is to be inevitably linked to the formation and perpetuation of patriarchal religion in general, and Islam in particular, is explored, or whether religion, including the case of Islam, can be a source of non-patriarchal values and ethics. In the second part, I discuss some of the most prominent factors which contribute to patriarchal interpretations of the Islamic tradition by grouping them, from the perspective of the individual interpreter, into those which pertain to personal opinion regarding the nature of two genders, Sitz im Leben, and interpretational methodology (manhaj). In the context of non-patriarchal interpretations of the Islamic tradition, I discuss its main delineating features and show, by using the work of a contemporary reformist Iranian scholar, H. Y. Eshkevari (b. 1949/1950), how the contemporary non-patriarchal interpretations of the Islamic tradition are sensitive to how both patriarchy and gender influence the process of interpretation.

This chapter sets out the epistemological lenses and the central theoretical concepts guiding this research. Given the many theories and models regarding the intersection of gender and migration, it is important to highlight those that inspire this research and help to investigate and better understand how gender affects migration processes and, vice versa, how migration impacts gender relations. The first section of this chapter presents the main perspectives adopted here: feminist and constructivist epistemology. The next section discusses patterns of various migration trajectories. The third section gives a brief historical overview of the debate on gender in migration studies and clarifies the theorisation of gender and migration in this book. The analytical Chaps. 10.1007/978-3-030-92092-0_4, 10.1007/978-3-030-92092-0_5, 10.1007/978-3-030-92092-0_6 and 10.1007/978-3-030-92092-0_7 include other essential concepts and findings.
