Secularism and the politics of translation.Andrea Cassatella - 2019 - Contemporary Political Theory 18 (1):65-87.details This article investigates the politics of translation at work in contemporary theories of secularism. It turns to the thought of Jacques Derrida in order to challenge liberal and more critical perspectives. Without a complex analysis of translation and its ethico-political effects, the revisitation of secularism remains deficient, leaving the liberal politics of translation exclusionary and that of their critics ineffective. Pointing to the resources Derrida offers for a deeper understanding of the nature, political stakes, and implications of translation, this article (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 1 citation
Dialogue as a Governmental Technique: Managing Gendered Islam in Germany.Schirin Amir-Moazami - 2011 - Feminist Review 98 (1):9-27.details Throughout the last decades, state and civil society actors in Germany have undertaken a number of initiatives in order to enter into a structured conversation with Muslim communities, and to find spokespersons who serve as partners for political authorities. This process has commonly been analysed in terms of its empowering effects for Muslims via the emerging ‘institutionalisation’ of Islam. The modes and techniques of power at stake in this process have yet often been undermined. Through the lens of Foucault's concept (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 3 citations
Freedom, Equality, Minarets.Alexa Zellentin - 2014 - Res Publica 20 (1):45-63.details This paper discusses the Swiss minaret ban as a threat to equal citizenship rather than a threat to freedom of religion. The main argument of the paper is that cultural differences can threaten the fair value of equal political participation rights as well as socio-economic ones. These differences are morally troubling despite legitimate emphasis on the need for a shared (political) culture. To ensure that the state treats its citizens as equals with regard to cultural differences requires a form of (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
Religion, classification struggles, and the state’s exercise of symbolic power.Sadia Saeed - 2021 - Theory and Society 50 (2):255-281.details The capacity to classify social groups legally is a central characteristic of modern states. Social groups, however, often resist the classificatory schemas of the state. This raises the following question: how do modern states exercise symbolic power in social fields beset by acute classification struggles? While existing scholarship has demonstrated that states exercise symbolic power, there has not been a concomitant effort to systematize and theorize the various strategies through which they do so. This article addresses this lacuna through examining (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 1 citation

Making Muslims illegible: recoupling as an obstacle to religious enumeration in Germany.Jana Catalina Glaese - 2021 - Theory and Society 50 (2):283-314.details Literature on categorization often invokes historical legacies to explain why states adhere to statistical categories that inadequately capture their population, and especially minority groups. The failure of the 2011 German census to produce reliable numbers on the country’s largest religious minority, Muslims, could be viewed as a case in point. However, this ignores the fact that in the late 1980s officials successfully counted Muslims. This article traces how officials changed their approach to Muslim enumeration over the course of designing the (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
