- Summary:
- This volume brings together interdisciplinary research in Islamic, religious, and cultural studies, covering a wide range of subjects and perspectives and challenging conventional academic boundaries and assumptions. It discusses both historical and contemporary examples, with a particular focus on issues relating to theory and methodology, music, soundscapes, and popular and material culture. It also examines how Islam is constructed historically and in the present day, focusing on its production and interpretation by both Muslims and non-Muslims, through case studies spanning Sufi universalism, dating platforms, textbooks, music, mass media, and everyday practices.
