“…Prioritizing the Western experience in order to create a homogenized, monocultural world serves to totalize Western data science as the only (or certainly the most legitimate) body of knowledge available-and it does so at the expense of the developing world, whose experiences may not fit within this tidy epistemological narrative. A transnational view, however, would make legible epistemologies that are neglected by the hegemonic data scientific canon, such as the Middle Eastern practice of jidal, or debate, described by Fatima Mernissi. Mernissi (2009) points to the possibilities of the Internet, which enables ordinary people previously unengaged in the public debate of democracy, to voice their opinions and address each other in the debate process.…”

Through a critical analysis of recent developments in the theory and practice of data science, including nascent feminist approaches to data collection and analysis, this commentary aims to signal the need for a transnational feminist orientation towards data science. I argue that while much needed in the context of persistent algorithmic oppression, a Western feminist lens limits the scope of problems, and thus—solutions, critical data scholars, and scientists can consider. A resolutely transnational feminist approach on the other hand, can provide data theorists and practitioners with the hermeneutic tools necessary to identify and disrupt instances of injustice in a more inclusive and comprehensive manner. A transnational feminist orientation to data science can pay particular attention to the communities rendered most vulnerable by algorithmic oppression, such as women of color and populations in non-Western countries. I present five ways in which transnational feminism can be leveraged as an intervention into the current data science canon.

“…Siapa saja Hermanto Harun, Arfan muslim yang memiliki keterampilan melakukan komunikasi massa dengan baik, maka akan menjadi ustadz sekaligus ulama. Akh Muzakki, dalam konteks kaderisasi jalur media ini, sependapat dengan distingsi Fatima Mernissi (1992) tentang Ulama Media dan Ulama Tradisional. Ulama Media adalah ulama yang lahir dan dibesarkan dari rahim televisi dan radio, sedangkan ulama tradisional lahir dari rahim komunitas tradisional yang berpegang kuat kepada ortodoksi agama.…”

Ulama occupy a strategic position in Jambi social landscape. Alumni of religious schools and public schools strive to appear as ulama. On the other hand, social problems are increasingly complex. This paper aims to examine the Islamic scholarly indicators in the social context of the Jambi Malay community, to explore actualization and circulation of the ulama, and the factors that cause their lack of role. Data collected through a questionnaire by grouping respondents into Old Ulama and Young Ulama. Observations and interviews were also conducted regarding the relationship between two groups in two institutions, the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) Jambi City and State Islamic Institute of Sulthan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi which is now a university. The study found that both young and old ulama were united in their views of the importance of charismatic as main indicator of an ulama, but had different views on the role of ulama in contemporary social problems in Jambi. The Older stated that ulama still played a significant role, while the majority of young informants stated that the role of ulama was getting weaker and narrower only in Ulama Council (MUI). The study also found that the weakening of the ulama was caused by: first, the old ulama and their organizations were increasingly less independent and financially dependent on the government. Second, the charismatic ulema who are tawadu' are fading away and there is competition for influence among the old ulama. Third, ulama are divided by mass religious organizations. The researcher proposes replanting or a serious effort to "replant" ulama, especially with Sufi character, tawadu' or unpretentious attitude and charismatic. Young scholars who are cadres of mass media and have educational institutions are not sufficient to create charismatic scholars.

“…While everyday portrayals presume such insecurities to have autonomously developed in the South/east and arrived in the North/west via migration, a contrapuntal reading of Moroccan scholar Fatima Mernissi's writings together with everyday portrayals of the 'crisis' points to the ways in which such insecurities have been constituted through contemporary geopolitical encounters. I chose to look at Mernissi's writings because her sociological analyses of women in Muslim societies across history offer valuable insight into dealings between South/east and North/west of the Mediterranean (see, for Mernissi 1975Mernissi , 1992Mernissi , 1991Mernissi , 1993Mernissi , 1996aMernissi , 2001Mernissi , 2006. Decentring the study of EU migration governance through adopting the method of 'contrapuntal reading' allows me to underscore that differentiated experiences of women in different parts of the Mediterranean have not come about autonomously but are products of contemporary geopolitical encounters.…”

The ‘Migrant Crisis in the Mediterranean’ as a Threat to Women’s Security in the EU? A Contrapuntal Reading

The decentring agenda in European Studies has called for turning our gaze from the 'centre' towards the 'periphery'. This essay offers one decentred approach to EU migration governance in the Mediterranean: Studying geopolitical encounters between the receiving and sending spaces as constitutive of the very issues that are otherwise portrayed as autonomously developed. I will do this by adopting Edward Said's method of contrapuntal reading, which involves 'thinking through and interpreting together' narratives from different parts of the world towards recovering 'intertwined and overlapping histories' of humankind. The specific case I look at is the 2015 'migrant crisis in the Mediterranean' and the ways in which women's insecurities were portrayed. While such representations presume women's insecurities to have developed in the South/east and arrived in the North/west via migration, a contrapuntal reading of Fatima Mernissi's writings together with everyday portrayals of the 'crisis' points to the connectedness of otherwise differentiated experiences. What is represented as 'before Europe' (in Bernard McGrane's felicitous turn of phrase) is, at the same time, the 'aftermath of Europe' insofar as geopolitical encounters between North/west and South/east of the Mediterranean have been constitutive of women's insecurities.
