Ep 7: Giving to God: Islamic Charity in Revolutionary Times | Dr Amira Mittermaier

<p>In this episode, we talk to Dr. Amira Mittermaier whose book, ‘Giving to God: Islamic Charity in Revolutionary Times’ is set against the backdrop of the 2011 Egyptian Revolution and Abd al-Fattah al-Sisi’s rise to power. The book draws upon Dr. Mittermaier’s ethnographic fieldwork in Egypt’s Cairo that oscillates between seemingly apolitical spaces of charity and highly politicized spaces of protest. Mittermaier comes to recognize that despite their apparent disparity, these two fields share a dedication to justice and communal engagement, both of which hold ethical and political importance. Therefore, her exploration of Islamic acts of generosity navigates between these two realms, each carrying distinct concepts of justice and the definition of an ideal society.</p> <p><br></p> <p>In this conversation, Dr. Mittermaier talks about how her interlocutors provide and accept assistance, how these actions align with Islamic ideas of divine fairness in the world, and how charity influenced people&#39;s perceptions of the Tahrir Square uprisings. Mittermaier&#39;s anthropological method enables us to comprehend the intricacies of charity as a multifaceted practice among Muslims. By exploring the relationship between donors, recipients, and God,, Dr. MIttermaier offers an alternative framework to conceptualize an Islamic ethics of giving. </p> <p>-----------------------------------------------</p> <p>We invite you to engage with us on social media, share your thoughts and experiences, and join the conversation.

Ep 6: The Politics of Women's Rights in Iran | Dr Arzoo Osanloo

<p>In this conversation on her book, ‘The Politics of Women’s Rights in Iran’ , Dr. Arzoo Osanloo  delves into the politicization of &#39;rights talk&#39; and women’s subjectivities in post-revolutionary Iran. She talks about how following the 1979 revolution, Iran underwent a transformation into an Islamic republic, during which the country&#39;s leaders employed a renewed discourse on women&#39;s rights to signify a departure from Western liberalism&#39;s perceived excesses. Dr. Osanloo&#39;s research reveals that the post-revolutionary republic combined elements of a liberal republic with principles of equality derived from Islam. Through ethnographic study, she illustrates how women&#39;s assertions of rights arise from a blend of ideas that draw from both liberal individualism and Islamic ideals.</p> <p>In this episode, she walks us through various settings where rights are being shaped, such as Qur&#39;anic reading groups, Tehran&#39;s family court, and law offices. In these contexts, she highlights the fluid and constructed nature of women&#39;s understandings of their rights. By doing so, Dr. Osanloo dismantles oversimplified dichotomies between so-called liberal, universal rights and the perceived insularity of local culture. She sheds light on a contemporary non-Western perspective on the essence of liberal rights and prompts questions about the often misunderstood relationship between modernity and Islam.</p> <p>-----------------------------------------------</p> <p>We invite you to engage with us on social media, share your thoughts and experiences, and join the conversation.

Ep 5: Genealogies of Feminism and Morocco's Bnat al Yassar | Dr Nadia Guessous

<p>In this episode, Dr. Nadia Guessous invites us to think about feminism in non-teleological ways by drawing upon her genealogical and ethnographic research with a particular generation of Leftist feminists in Morocco, often known as bnat al yassar (daughters of the Left). </p> <p>She dissects what requires her interlocutors to reject a traditional way of life that, paradoxically, is also acknowledged by them as the source of inspiration for their leftist feminist politics. She then probes how this first conundrum is connected to the challenge faced by leftist feminists in welcoming a new generation of young hijabi women into their organizations, despite their professed dedication to creating an all-encompassing women&#39;s movement. She refers to the leftist feminist issues surrounding tradition and the hijab as conundrums to question the notion of their inherent &quot;naturalness.&quot; </p> <p>Although paradoxes and conundrums are commonly assumed to be self-evident descriptions, Dr. Guessous proposes that we view them as contextually specific, arising from distinct historical circumstances, and influenced by individual perspectives and subjectivity. Thus, through an examination of the dilemmas and contradictions informing the landscape of Moroccan leftist feminist politics, her research aims to engage in a nuanced exploration of modernity and feminism, avoiding linear and deterministic perspectives. Furthermore, it seeks to make a valuable contribution to the field of anthropology by shedding light on the dynamics of power within modern society and the formation of progressive political subjectivity.</p> <p>-----------------------------------------------</p> <p>We invite you to engage with us on social media, share your thoughts and experiences, and join the conversation.
