Redefining Hijab: American Muslim Women's Standpoints on Veiling   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2007,35(3):294-319

Feminist standpoint theory suggests that, although powerful discourses attempt to define women on the “margins” of society, women's cultural positions provide them with heightened understandings of the contradictions between their experiences and the ways the dominant group defines them. Thus, while many Americans believe hijab—also called a “veil” or “headscarf”—functions to oppress women, veiled women probably possess alternative understandings. In this study, 13 veiled American Muslim women share their experiences, and under the lens of standpoint theory, the participants' definition of hijab emerges. Specifically, the women inscribe hijab with meanings shaped by their unique cultural standpoints. Hijab functions to define Muslim identity, perform a behavior check, resist sexual objectification, afford more respect, preserve intimate relationships, and provide freedom.  相似文献   

加缪在阿尔及利亚问题上的尴尬处境     

李军 《临沂师范学院学报》2008,30(2):57-60

加缪对阿尔及利亚危机、殖民地阿尔及利亚与宗主国法国的关系问题的看法和认识,以上世纪四十、五十年代为界,经历了三个阶段：他在第一阶段坚信阿拉伯穆斯林与法国移民者能够和谐相处,呼吁殖民当局保护穆斯林的合法权益：20世纪40年代,他既关注阿拉伯的利益,又保护法国的利益不受损失,认为推行法国民主法制是解决之道;50年代,他既反对殖民当局的血腥镇压,又憎恶极端民族主义分子的恐怖行动,提出建立“法兰西—阿拉伯联合体”,遭到来自双方的批判,他在法国和阿尔及利亚都是孤独的来客、“局外人”、流亡者。《流亡与独立王国》反映了其此时期的心境。  相似文献

论艾德礼政府的"内阁使团方案"     

谌焕义 《广西师范大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》2004,40(4):110-116

1946年5月16日，艾德礼政府公布了解决印度问题的“内阁使团方案”。方案设计了一个中央权力比较微弱而各省享有较大自治权的联邦体制，希望既能维护印度的统一，又能满足穆斯林的自治要求。国大党和穆斯林联盟虽然对方案没有满足自己的意愿而表示不满，但是都先后通过决议，部分地接受方案，以共同制定新的印度宪法。无论印度还是英国和美国的政治领袖都认为这是当时情况下英国政府能提出的最好方案。正确地认识这一方案的性质是非常重要的，因为它直接影响到人们对艾德礼政府的对印政策的评价。  相似文献   

A Research Guide on Islam in the Russian Federation     

Sarah Fogleman 《Slavic & East European Information Resources》2013,14(1):2-17

As the Muslim population grows in Russia, and along with it questions of radical Islam and the role of Islam in Russian society and government, it has become increasingly important for scholars, students, and policy makers to be able to conduct research effectively on the presence of Islam in Russia. English‐language literature devoted to the topic is infrequent and often difficult to locate and access. This research guide points to important and recent books, reference works, periodicals, periodical databases, Internet resources, electronic discussion lists, and scholarly organizations to help identify relevant quality research material.  相似文献

Orientalism(s), world geography textbooks,and temporal paradox: questioning representations of Southwest Asia and North Africa     

Lisa Zagumny  Amanda B. Richey 《International journal of qualitative studies in education》2013,26(10):1330-1348

In this critical discourse analysis of six high-school world geography textbooks, we explore how constructions and representations of North Africa and Southwest Asia have served to reinforce Orientalist discourse in formal curriculum. Visual and written representations in these textbooks were overwhelmingly confounded by a traditional/modern dichotomy that constructed a paradoxical “Muslim world.” Gender and religion coding perpetuated the temporal paradox with women and Islam used as symbols of the traditional in need of western modernization. This paper begins with a contextualization of the study of textbooks and addresses investigations of media portrayals of Muslims, Arabs, and Islam. We then describe our theoretical grounding in criticalist perspectives and detail methods of analysis. Lastly, we present the three themes revealed through analysis and conclude with recommendations for enhancing geographic literacy in schools.  相似文献   

Deliberative theory and the legitimacy of Islamic influence in the British education system     

Peter Matthew Hills 《牛津教育评论》2013,39(6):716-729

Abstract

This article argues that deliberative theory provides an important contribution in the debate about the legitimacy of an Islamic influence within the British education system. The contribution is a timely one, in light of the tendency to view issues involving Islam and Muslims through the distorting prism of Islamophobia. The contribution of deliberative theory is developed and explained through a constructive comparison with two positions within debates about the legitimacy of religion and the accommodation of minority claims within education: ethical liberalism and ethical pluralism.  相似文献   

Women’s Sport as a Symbol of Modernity: A Case Study in Turkey     

Gertrud Pfister  Ilknur Hacısoftaoğlu 《国际体育史杂志》2016,33(13):1470-1482

Abstract

Turkey has a distinctive position with regard to its geography and history among Muslim countries. Particular features are its secular system and far reaching modernization processes particularly with respect to the ‘emancipation’ of women. The aim of this paper is to describe and analyze sport and body politics as part of the modernization processes in Turkey and to explore in particular the multiple roles of different groups of women in the reforms initiated by the Turkish Governments. A focus will be on the intersecting influences of gender and social class. The famous archaeologist Halet Çambel will be used as an example of the ‘modern’ woman who embodied reformist ideologies. Çambel was the daughter of an elite family; she was born in Berlin where her father was an attaché at the Turkey embassy. She studied in France and participated in the Olympic Games in 1936. She and another Turkish fencer were the first women from a Muslim country to participate in the Olympic Games. Later she became the most famous archaeologist in Turkey and she stayed physically active all her life. In particular, horse riding became a favourite activity as she travelled to archaeological sites on horseback.  相似文献   

The Expulsion of the Muslims from Portugal (1496–1497)     

François Soyer 《Al-Masaq: Islam & the Medieval Mediterranean》2008,20(2):215-234

The expulsion of the Muslim minority from Portugal, decreed by King Manuel I in December 1496, has been one of the most overlooked aspects of the end of religious tolerance in the Iberian Peninsula at the close of the Middle Ages. Using unedited documentary sources preserved in the national Portuguese archives, this article focuses on the expulsion of the Muslims from Portugal and seeks to challenge a number of assumptions concerning this unprecedented event. Three major questions concerning this expulsion are examined. What evidence is there that the expulsion of the Muslims did take place? Where did the expelled Muslims seek refuge? What were the causes of this expulsion? This article will endeavour to present a new hypothesis relating to the causes of this expulsion, which radically differs from that advanced by modern historians.  相似文献
