Call for Papers
Islam and the Media
January 7-10, 2010
The Center for Media, Religion and Culture School of Journalism and Mass
Communication, University of Colorado, Boulder
www.colorado.edu/journalism/cmrc
The events of September 11, 2001 have unleashed an unprecedented period
of global re-thinking of issues in media and religion. Islam has emerged
as a major focus of inquiry and debate, but the interaction between
contemporary Islam and the media has rarely been addressed. This
conference will thus engage a set of questions on the place of Islam
within global, regional, national and local media.
If we believe the torrent of popular headlines on Islam today, it seems
that only Muslim extremists are talking about their religion, pursuing a
project that claims to defend it from "secularized" Western culture.
From Bin Laden's call to jihad to the angry reaction of Muslims to the
Danish cartoons of the prophet Muhammad, Muslims are portrayed in the
media as irrational followers of a religion adamantly out of step with
modernity. In the face of this, and perhaps in order to balance their
coverage of Islam, Western journalists, pundits, and others have been
asking "where are the moderate Muslims?" But few true moderates have
emerged. Instead, some Western media have turned to another extreme:
Muslim secularists or "Muslim non-believers"--voices which deserve media
attention, but which arguably stand at the opposite fringe, rather than
nearer the center of how Islam is lived and understood today.
Muslims, both in the Muslim world and in the diaspora, have found
themselves compelled to speak for the 'real' Islam and explain its
relevance in modernity both to themselves and to non-Muslims. This
process is at the same time generating divergent discourses that
arguably are already coming to challenge the religious authority of
clerical Islam. Today, Muslim men and women, young and old, secularists
and Islamists, Westerners and Easterners, gay and straight, rappers and
comedians, journalists and scholars, bloggers and televangelists, are
changing the conventional pathways of religious discourse and
disintegrating the old centers of knowledge production within Islam. In
fact, Muslims around the world are taking advantage of new media
platforms like the Internet and other forms of conventional media like
satellite television, music and film to articulate an arguably 'pure' or
'modern' Islam. These media have become prime discursive spaces in which
Islamic knowledge is contested, reinterpreted, and popularly
re-mediated. Given the unprecedented amplification of this inner
struggle within Islam, it is imperative to ask questions such as: who
speaks for Islam today using what original platforms? Does the
pluralization of Muslim voices lead necessarily to innovations in the
core of Islamic teachings or is it merely a shift in method to reaffirm
a message of orthodoxy? Are these new voices accessible to large numbers
of Muslims? And how are contemporary media deployed to facilitate this
shift in Islamic knowledge production? Thus, a range of questions
dealing with the mediation of Islam and other religions are also coming
to the fore.
This international conference will bring together scholars on Islam and
contemporary media, media professionals, activists and NGOs to reflect
on the implications of these developments. Papers and panels may
address, but should not be limited to, the following topics:
* The representation of Islam in global media * Journalism and Islam *
Images of Islam in Western entertainment media * Muslim voices in
Western media * Media and the "clash of civilizations"
* Contemporary Islamic media and the transformation of religious
knowledge * The impact of new Muslim media on patterns of religious
learning and practice * The proliferation of Islamic websites and
Islamic discourse on the Internet * The weakening of traditional Islamic
institutions * Articulations of Islam in popular culture * The
intersections of Islam and consumer culture * The impact of mediated
transnational Islam on the Ummah and nation * The role of Muslim
diasporas in the new Islam * The role of women in shaping the teachings
of new Islam * Muslim minorities' use of media globally, regionally, and
locally * The impact of new media on social and cultural patterns in
Muslim societies * Representations of contemporary Islam in Muslim and
Western media * New Muslim media, public sphere and democracy * Islam,
globalization, and religious identity * Contemporary Islamic thought and
new mediations of Islamic heritage * Methodologies: how to study Islam
in the media age * Methodologies: social-scientific, humanistic, and
"theological" analyses * Media and the making of Islamic religious
"celebrity"
*Confirmed Keynote Speakers:*
Charles Hirschkind: University of California, Berkeley- author of The
Ethical Soundscape: Cassette Sermons and Islamic Counterpublics.
Zarqa Nawaz: filmmaker and writer of the critically-acclaimed TV series
A Little Mosque in the Prairie.
*Deadline:*
Please send a *300-word abstract by May 15, 2009* to Nabil Echchaibi at
nabil.echchaibi@colorado.edu A detailed conference Website will be
available shortly.
