“…The "diaspora draws on long-established cultural resources: the travelling preacher not only mediates between the religious texts and their interpretation and relation to the listeners' horizon, but is also a mediator between regions and classes." 112 In the sense of our concept, the diaspora becomes an essential aspect of the ResourceAssemblage of preaching, which dynamizes and culturally transforms the resource.…”

“…Synchronization of emotional experience is achieved through rhythmic patterns of communication between preacher and audience." 110 In this way, the sermon becomes part of popular culture and "shapes subjectivities and ways of imagining and embodying community." 111 Through the medialization and globalization of certain popular cultural patterns, individual preachers then can become significant beyond the local area.…”

Religious speeches aim at social efficacy. They are therefore an important resource for religious communities and groups. The article pursues a cultural concept of resources, which does not ask about the benefit of a resource, but about its values in and effects on societies. The crucial elements are the social dynamics, actions and relationships that are closely related to culturally shaped interests in and use of resources. This concept is brought into conversation with more recent research on Christian and Islamic preaching cultures. Anthropological research in particular has repeatedly pointed to the social value attributed to preaching. This interdisciplinary article shows the yield of the dialogue between anthropology and practical theology.

“…32 Let me also point out that South Asian 'ulama' articulate and embody the authority of the textual tradition through performance forms (such as affective sermons) in distinct spaces. 33 The spatial and embodied contexts of religious authority, such as madrasas, mosques, homes, Sufi lodges, digital spaces, and what Asad calls "the sensible body," all speak to sources of ambivalence internal to a discursive tradition.…”

We are witnessing an exciting renaissance in scholarship on modern South Asian Muslim religious scholars (‘ulama’). This article examines how this new scholarship repositions earlier academic conversations in distinctive ways to make several signal moves: (a) centering the political (particularly the theme of sovereignty); (b) complexifying the study of religious authority by attention to textuality, embodiment, and internal criticism; and finally (c) taking the transnational turn and tracing ‘ulama’ communities in the South Asian diaspora. The article also considers the public scholarship of three academics who have begun asking the question: What are the ethics and politics of translating ‘ulama’ life‐worlds beyond the etic‐emic and secular‐religious frameworks?

“…The special section offers a different picture by showing that studies involving youth represent a particularly suitable terrain for observing trends that cannot be reduced to 'religious radicalization' (cf. Hasan 2017), and can be linked to more general trends that have been defined variously as 'public Islam' (Esposito and Burgat 2003), 'civic Islam' (Brown 2019), 'public piety' (Stille 2020), or 'post-Islamism' (Bayat 1996). The aforementioned Arab Springs have provided concrete examples of how, building on a conception of the political use of religion that intends to reform society by keeping existing structures in place, young Muslims are envisioning a better society by appropriating codes and organizational modalities derived from the world of social movements and civil society (cf.…”

This article argues for a non-normative and pluralistic approach to the study of utopia among Muslim people. The authors employ the contributions to this special section as a starting point to redress a number of ethnocentric biases clouding the relationship between utopia and Islam. They criticize arguments that deny Muslims the ability to produce ‘genuine’ utopias, highlighting commonalities between a religious culture and the secular culture in the West that has endorsed the notion of utopia. At the same time, the contributors show how in scholarly research a normative and prejudicial concept of ‘Islamic utopia’ has obscured the variety of forms that utopianism assumes among Muslim people, particularly the youth. This article envisages an inductive approach that takes into account both the different positionalities from which the concepts of Islam and utopia are appropriated and the diverse political outcomes that are produced.
