ISLAM AND POPULAR CULTURE
Book ID/图书代码： 13590015B86014
English Summary/英文概要： Popular culture serves as a fresh and revealing window on contemporary developments in the Muslim world because it is a site where many important and controversial issues are explored and debated. Aesthetic expression has become intertwined with politics and religion due to the uprisings of the “Arab Spring,” while, at the same time, Islamist authorities are showing increasingly accommodating and populist attitudes toward popular culture. Not simply a “westernizing” or “secularizing” force, as some have asserted, popular culture now plays a growing role in defining what it means to be Muslim.
With well-structured chapters that explain key concepts clearly, Islam and Popular Culture addresses new trends and developments that merge popular arts and Islam. Its eighteen case studies by eminent scholars cover a wide range of topics, such as lifestyle, dress, revolutionary street theater, graffiti, popular music, poetry, television drama, visual culture, and dance throughout the Muslim world from Indonesia, Africa, and the Middle East to Europe. The first comprehensive overview of this important subject, Islam and Popular Culture offers essential new ways of understanding the diverse religious discourses and pious ethics expressed in popular art productions, the cultural politics of states and movements, and the global flows of popular culture in the Muslim world.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 流行文化是一个窥视穆斯林世界当代发展的新窗口，因为通过流行文化可以看到许多重要而有争议的问题正在被探索和讨论。由于“阿拉伯之春”，审美表达已和政治以及宗教交织在一起。与此同时，伊斯兰当局对于流行文化保持着越来越包容、民粹主义的态度。不是如一些人所断言的那样简单地“西化”或“世俗化”，流行文化现在对于定义怎样的人才是穆斯林所起的作用越来越大。
本书结构清晰，清楚地解释了一些关键概念，展现了伊斯兰教和流行文化相互融合之后的新趋势和新发展。本书中的18个案例分析涵盖广泛的议题，涉及整个印尼、非洲、中东和欧洲的穆斯林世界，如生活方式，服饰，革命性的街头剧院，涂鸦，流行音乐，诗歌，影视剧，视觉文化和舞蹈等等。本书是第一本对于这一重要话题的全面概述，提供了了解不同宗教话语的新方式和流行艺术作品所表达的虔诚和道德，展现了流行文化如何在穆斯林世界中传播。（LYR）

"Islam and Popular Culture is a work of serious intellectual rigor. It constitutes an unprecedented collection on Islam and popular culture that will be a historical landmark." (Dr. Emmanuelle Olivier, Senior Research Fellow at the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS, Paris) and l’Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, and author of Musiques au monde: La tradition au prisme de la creation and numerous works on music in Southern and Western Africa)
"This is an essential collection on a topic that is grossly understudied and vastly misunderstood. I learned a great deal from it that I did not know, and much of what I learned was quite surprising and novel." (Ted Swedenburg, Professor of Anthropology and Religious Studies, University of Arkansas, and editor of Palestine, Israel, and the Politics of Popular Culture)
