“…Building on the Foucauldian-Asadian tradition in the study of Islamic ethics (Asad 1986;Anjoum 2007;Foucault 2010, 343-354;Mahmood 2012), but also with a nod to Kierkegaard's moral philosophy (on points of overlaps between Kierkegaard and Foucault,4 see McDonald 1996;Ohaneson 2019), here pietas refers to the fashioning of religious subjectivities, askesis, the cultivation of virtues, and, ultimately, the pursuit of salvation under the aegis of Islam's discursive tradition.

Drawing on ethnographic research in Tatarstan (Russia) and through an engagement with Foucauldian, phenomenological, and ecological social theories, this paper advances the concept of piety taskscape, or "pietaskscape", to indicate the granular, organically emerging meshwork of settings and locations where Muslim pietists carry out self-fashioning. This concept aspires to grasp the nexus of ethical action, space-making, and experience, in concrete human environments such as the post-Soviet city. Such a concept may prove a valuable contribution to scholarly conversations about religion and space by placing subjectivity, performativity, teleology, and materiality in resonance with each other. It will be argued that, compared to alternative approaches, this framework affords greater analytical insight into the spatiality of Muslim piety beyond the scholarly box of Islamic "sites".
