“…Cf. John R. Bowen (1989) for the ways in which Muslims in Sumatra distinguish themselves on the basis of distinctions they make between different modes of performing Islamic daily prayers. 16 For detailed accounts of Tajikistan's civil war, see especially Shirin Akiner (2002), Shirin Akiner, Mohammad-Reza Djalili, and Frederic Grare (1997), and Adeeb Khalid (2007, 148-53).…”

This article explores the importance of transnational forms of Muslim cultural identity in northern Pakistan. By documenting the dynamism of a transnational form of Muslim identity that encompasses people belonging to a wide range of ethnic communities and Islamic doctrinal traditions, as well as extending across countries whose Muslim peoples have experienced the differential effects of their incorporation into both the Soviet Union and British India, the author seeks to challenge the work of Islam specialists who emphasize the centrality of “globalizing modernity” to the making of contemporary forms of Muslim identity. In contrast, this article builds on historical accounts of premodern forms of Muslim cosmopolitanism, notably Engseng Ho's study of Hadrami Muslim scholars who saw themselves as active creators of a universal world structured around the transregional ideals of their faith in the expansive Indian Ocean trading world. Building on this and other work on cosmopolitanism, the author documents the ways in which older experiences of mobility in this politically sensitive region of the world influence villagers' present-day engagements with globalizing processes. The ethnographic focus is on the ways in which Sunni and Shi'a Ismai'li Chitrali Muslims interacted with refugees into their region from Afghanistan and Tajikistan between 1979 and 2002, a time when both countries were experiencing violent civil and international conflict.

“…Although not what Redfield intended, the dichotomy allowed scholars to treat great and little traditions as isolates with anthropologists staying in their comfort zone in villages and allowing Orientalists to stay in their comfort zone of texts (Bowen 1993a: 185)-a tidy division of labor. This, however, leads to an overly narrow view of the tradition and a tendency to see the universal aspects of the tradition as the core of Islam.…”

“…This is what Talal Asad calls for when he suggests that the anthropology of Islam must devise a conceptual organization of the diversity in Islam (1986: 5). The most insightful contemporary theories regarding this relationship have attempted to explain variation within Islam by constructing linguistic analogies, including studying religion as discourse 1 (Asad 1986;Bowen 1993b). The discourse model has two central shortcomings.…”

__Public Administration is a branch of Social Science disciplines taught at universities in Indonesia. Indonesia is a country that is predominantly Muslim. However, the education system faces problems of secularization that is split between education and religion. This can be seen in the teaching of public administration disciplines which mostly uses Western worldview than the Islamic worldview. The results of the study, to several libraries of the universities in Indonesia showed that the administration public textbooks available to students mostly from the Western textbooks than Islamic textbooks, that it has generated a lot of administrative problems in Indonesia; while the textbooks approach puts Islamic worldview and religion as a source of knowledge, to achieve happiness in the world and life hereafter inwardly and outwardly very little available. Therefore, Islamic public administration is needed; and it requires steps for Islamization of public administration in higher education in Indonesia; to empowering character education for national defence.

“…Aqui também será possível evidenciar a oração como momento de reparação, momento de reparação entre o fiel e Deus. A importância da oração e do seu significado em comunidades muçulmanas já foi explicitada por diversos autores (Mahmmod 2001;Henkel 2005;Bowen 1989 -em suas etnografias sobre as comunidades islâmicas do Egito, da Turquia e da Indonésia, respectivamente).…”

IntroduçãoO objetivo deste artigo é apresentar um dos elementos performáticos da religião islâmica: a salat (oração islâmica). Para isso, discorro sobre o aprimoramento do muçulmano por meio do comportamento restaurado (Schechner 1985) O artigo também suscita uma aproximação recorrente entre teatro 2 e antropologia. Nesse sentido, é importante frisar que vários antropólogos já se debruçaram sobre essa temática, dando enfoques diferenciados sobre o conceito de performance, ritual e teatro na antropologia (Turner 1982;1986;Schechner 1985; Goffman 1974;Tambiah 1985;Grimes 1995). Esses autores ampliaram o modo de ver não só os rituais, mas as experiências religiosas e o fazer teatral de sociedades diversas. De certo modo, considero que a minha participação no NAPEDRA -Núcleo de Antropologia, Performance e Drama 3 -contribuiu para uma maior reflexão a respeito do método empregado por atores em sua profissão e do processo de formação do muçulmano. Ambos ensaiam, treinam a sua performance: o muçulmano, através do seu modo de vivenciar a religião, pautado pela repetição cotidiana da palavra sagrada, e o ator, ao construir
