Particularly after the Arab uprisings, other currents seem to be coming more to the fore that need careful examination, such as the contemporary realities of religious ambivalence, religious doubts, disengagement from religious movements such as the Muslim Brotherhood, the search for alternative forms of spirituality or individualized piety, de-veiling, and different forms of non-conformism, free thinking, non-belief, and atheism. Accordingly, the contributions to this Special Issue provide highly relevant insights into several contemporary debates that are crucial in the social sciences and religious studies. This includes processes of individualization; the study of everyday lived (non-)religion; the anthropology of doubt, ambivalence, and ambiguity; and, last but not least, the deconstruction of the religious?secular divide, a divide that is seen as almost impenetrable according to many actors in the Middle East. This Special Issue consists of a cross-section of current works in social science, religious studies, and related fields on Islam/religion and non-religion in the Middle East. The articles present case studies from different countries in the Middle East, with examples from Turkey, Morocco, Egypt, and Syria, as well as studies on diaspora and social media. 517 $aReligious Transformation in the Middle East 606 $aReligion & beliefs$2bicssc 610 $a(un)veiling 610 $agender 610 $aspirituality 610 $apiety 610 $anon-belief 610 $athe self 610 $aIslam 610 $aEgypt 610 $amoral ambivalence 610 $areligious doubt 610 $aTurkey 610 $aHajj 610 $aMorocco 610 $aeveryday life 610 $aself-formation 610 $aanthropology of non-religion 610 $alived religion 610 $aonline activism 610 $ahumor 610 $amemes 610 $anonbelievers 610 $afreethinkers 610 $aatheism 610 $aSyria 610 $aArab world 610 $asocial media 610 $acriticism of Islam 610 $areligiosities 610 $anon-religiosities 610 $ayouth 610 $aAlexandria 610 $aprocesses of individualisation 610 $aIslamism 610 $aMuslim Brotherhood 610 $adisengagement 610 $athe Arab Spring 610 $asocial movements 615 7$aReligion & beliefs 700 $avan Nieuwkerk$b Karin$4edt$01299057 702 $avan Nieuwkerk$b Karin$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910566480203321 996 $aReligious Transformation in the Middle East$93025010 997 $aUNINA
