Muslim Rap, Halal Soaps, and Revolutionary Theater is the first book that explores this vital intersection between artistic production and Islamic discourse in the Muslim world. The contributors to this volume investigate the historical and structural conditions that impede or facilitate the emergence of a "post-Islamist" cultural sphere. They discuss the development of religious sensibilities among audiences, which increasingly include the well-to-do and the educated young, as well as the emergence of a local and global religious market. At the heart of these essays is an examination of the intersection between cultural politics, performing art, and religion, addressing such questions as where, how, and why pop culture and performing arts have been turned into a religious mission, and whether it is possible to develop a new Islamic aesthetic that is balanced with religious sensibilities. As we read about young Muslims and their quest for a "cool Islam" in music, their struggle to quell their stigmatized status, or the collision of morals and the marketplace in the arts, a vivid, varied new perspective on Muslim culture emerges. 606 $aPopular culture$zIslamic countries 606 $aArts$zIslamic countries 606 $aIslam and art 606 $aIslamic civilization$xWestern influences 606 $aMuslims$zNon-Muslim countries$xSocial conditions$y21st century 615 0$aPopular culture 615 0$aArts 615 0$aIslam and art. 615 0$aIslamic civilization$xWestern influences. 615 0$aMuslims$xSocial conditions 676 $a700.88/297 701 $aNieuwkerk$b Karin van$f1960-$0876504 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826064103321 996 $aMuslim rap, halal soaps, and revolutionary theater$93956065 997 $aUNINA
