Gracious Traditions : Contemporary Transnational Egyptian Post-Tariqa Sufism
- 2022
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- An overarching aim of this study is to contribute to the developing body of studies of non-organized and thereby “invisible” Muslims in the West. The thesis probes into the question of what Sufism means in the individual lives of seven Muslims in the US and Sweden who share a relatively privileged Egyptian socio-economic background. The questions addressed have concerned how they relate to local, national and transnational Islamic traditions, beliefs and practices. A foundational idea of the thesis has been to get a close read of Sufism as a personal relation to the Muslim identity of the interviewees. Through positioning personal stories in larger frameworks, the study highlights how Sufism is a situational matter. Sufism is interpreted differently in different contexts and influences approaches to politics, civil society and family dynamics. The empirical material is produced through semi-structured interviews where the data collection on “Sufism” hermeneutically leads to interconnected themes such as nationalism, history, sainthood, religion, institutions and social class. The thesis is driven by a predominant interest in post-tariqa Sufism outside of institutionalized forms and focuses on (1) how the informants relate to Sufism and the shape this relation takes when positioned adjacent to or across other belief; and in particular (2) when it matters to them. Further, it poses the question of (3) what role cultural backgrounds play in interacting with new social environments outside of Egypt. The thesis uses the results of those questions to critically discuss the field of invisible Muslim minorities in the West.The empirical material shows that the informants are aware of being part of a larger and diverse Islamic context. They regard themselves to be ordinary Sunni Muslims, sharing common beliefs with other non-Sufi Muslims. They simultaneously stress their own contexts in the realization of such beliefs. “Universal” tokens of Islam, such as fasting the month of Ramadan, the mosque as the primary place of worship, or Mecca as the centrifugal geography of Islam is sometimes bracketed, but not rejected. What the study points out, is how the informants have a tepid relationship to local American or Swedish Islamic institutions for the benefit of personalized bonds to their own Egyptian Islamic context. Sufism is commonly associated with Egypt and Egyptian Islamic culture, which means that it also is a position in intra-Muslim theological debates. The perception of Sufism as an innately Egyptian Islam means that Salafism and Islamism can be regarded as foreign traditions, which also resonates with an established state narrative. Sufism in this sense is functionally and realistically perceived as a middle or balanced position, stabilizing the informants between two perceived opposite extremes, being neither fully secular nor religiously fundamentalist. Sufi practices and attitudes are seen as having historical continuity and the benchmark for Islam in Egypt, which the informants find in for instance popular culture and history as well as in some formal theologians.Finally, the study adds to previous studies of post-tariqa Sufism by re-introducing a social class perspective. There is no remarkable difference in the beliefs of the informants and Sufis from other social backgrounds in Egypt. What seems to be a variance is rather the creative space that Sufism carves out for them. The informants confer with an intermediate realm, barzakh, where they in individually different ways are able to interact with an unseen world and saints, mainly through dreams, but also in ways that they can perceive in the material world.

Rethinking the Jewish-Comics Connection
- 2013
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Popular Abstract in English The publication of Michael Chabon’s Pulitzer-prize winning novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay (2000) brought the Jewish–comics connection to popular attention. The novel illuminated the fact that many of the pioneers of American mainstream comics were Jewish. Owing to this history, and to the fact that there today exists a large and growing library of self-consciously Jewish comic books and graphic novels, much has been written about the meaning of the connection. Engaging in a critical dialogue with extant writing on the subject, this thesis argues that much of the popular and scholarly writing on the subject of Jews and comics is historical in the sense that it is a product of its own time, rather than in the sense that it critically investigates the past. Rethinking the Jewish¬–Comics Connection presents three studies of commonly cited mainstream comics texts written by Jewish Americans: the character Superman from his first appearance in June 1938 until America’s entry in the Second World War in December 1941; comics writer, artist, and advocate Will Eisner’s The Spirit (1940–1952) and long-form comics (1978–2005); and the first and second series of X-Men comic books (1963–1970 and 1975–1991). Situating these texts in their respective contexts and offering alternative interpretations, the thesis suggests that the historical Jewish–comics connection most clearly emerges as an expression of what it meant, for the writers, to be Jewish Americans in relation to their own time.

Refugeeship - A project of justification : Claiming asylum in England and Sweden
- 2011
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of this thesis is to explore the asylum process from an experiential perspective, starting in the country of origin, fleeing, claiming asylum and being granted refugee status. The theoretical interest is to contribute with an understanding of how this asylum process impacts on personal meaning-making, focusing on identification and positioning work of the person forced to flee and make an asylum claim. With this purpose in mind, I have remained close to the experiences of the participants talk made visible through interpretative analysis. Drawing on a discursive-psychological approach, 19 interview-cases (10 in England and 9 in Sweden) have been analysed consisting of stories of the migration process: life in the country of origin, fleeing, claiming asylum and being granted refugee status. This talk includes rich description of what this has involved for these participants, in terms of the more existential aspects of this kind of migration, identification and positioning, as well as their attempts to give this process some sort of meaning. This I name refugeeship. The results show that refugeeship is characterised by a multitude of implicit and explicit questionings concerning the refugee’s rights and duties. Implicit questions concerning the refugee’s flight, starting in the country of origin are followed by explicit questions when encountering the official legal system of asylum in the new country, which involves an erosion of sense of self. The refugee stories express what I call the moral career of refugeeship, illustrating the events in refugeeship which are ongoing, though changeable over time and space and incorporate a moral dimension. The refugee finds him or herself continuously justifying the migration, struggling for recognition and convincing ‘Others’ that one can in fact become a contributing member of the new society.

Migration and Religion IMISCOE Short Reader
- 2023
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This open access book introduces research on migration and religion with the focus on migration to western European countries from the 1950s and onwards. The book is an in-depth presentation of the main research trends as to methods, theories and empirical zones on migration and religion. In a unique way, the book brings together research about the topic aligning it with the experiences and urgencies of migrants. The first part of three introduces key concepts and presents main research trends over time. The second part deals with the processes of establishment – on an individual level as well as on a group and society level. The third and final part focuses on religious change in relation to religious ideas and habits. It further highlights religious creativity. The third part finishes with a discussion about challenges to research and what we still do not know enough about.
