Muslims Making British Media: Popular Culture, Performance and Public Religion: Islam of the Global West

Autor Carl Morris
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 iun 2024
Drawing on original fieldwork, Carl Morris examines Muslim cultural production in Britain, with a focus on the performance-based entertainment industries: music, comedy, film, television and theatre. It is a seminal study that charts the growing agency and involvement of British Muslims in cultural production over the last two decades. Morris sets this discussion within the context of wider religious, social and cultural change, with important insights concerning the sociological profile, religious lives and public visibility of Muslims in contemporary Britain. Morris draws on theoretical considerations concerning the mediatization of religion and cosmopolitanization in a globally-connected world. He argues that a new generation of media-savvy and internationalist Muslim cultural producers in Britain are constructing counter narratives in the public sphere and are reshaping everyday religious lives within their own communities. This is having a profound impact upon areas that range from Islamic authority and religious practice, to political and public debate, and understandings of Muslim identity and belonging.

Recenzii

This book is a necessary survey of a long established Muslim cultural scene. The number of groups and genres included make this text an essential introduction to how Muslims are cultural producers, no matter where they are. Mixed with history and sociology, the author contextualizes and recognizes the humanity of the Muslims he talks about in the book. A solid introductory and foundational text.
Muslims Making British Media brilliantly chronicles how Muslim cultural producers have been making their voices heard in the 21st century. Carl Morris is a sure-footed guide to the creative successes and formidable dilemmas that British Muslims encounter as they produce TV, film, theatre, comedy and music.
