Abstract:
The aim of this study is to authenticate the attribution of ’’al-Taʿrīf bimā ʾanasat al-hijra min maʿālim dār al-hijra” to its original author, Jamāl al-Dīn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad al-Muṭarī (d.741/1340) a well-known historian of Medina. In doing so, this research explores his life and the socio-economic and political conditions of his time with an attempt to locate the significance of this manuscript. His work is considered to be one of the key sources of the history of Medina throughout several different eras. He witnessed some events which took place in Medina and his work includes a great number of quotations extracted from important missing sources, such as the works of Muḥammad ibn Zabāla and Zubayyr ibn Bakār. This study describes al-Muṭarī’s life in some detail and investigates the different conditions related to the history of Medina and its topography. At different stages of this study the descriptive approach and historical analysis methods are applied in order to achieve its aim. After using several methods, the study reveals that the author of the manuscript is indeed Jamāl al-Dīn al-Muṭarī as based on a number of evidences. In addition, this research provides a critical commentary on the significance of language and the contents of the text it self.

This thesis examines hijra community-based organisations’ (CBOs) use of social media platforms to represent hijra identities in India. This study used social media ethnography as an approach to study the social media presence of hijra community members and involved 30 interviews. The hijra community are placed at the intersection of culture, politics, legal developments for the third gender, popular culture, and social media uses in this study. Further, it deepens knowledge on how the hijra community has framed their identity(ies) in the light of their community work after legal recognition in India.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the construction and use of the hijra figure in fictional literature. It argues that hijras are utilised as both symbols of deviance and central points around which wider anti-sociality circulates. In order to contextualise these characters and offer a deeper understanding of the constructed nature of their representations, this thesis works with four frames of reference. It draws respectively on Hindu mythology (chapter one), the Mughal empire and its use of eunuchs, which the authors of fiction use to extend their representations of hijras (chapter two), British colonialism in India and its ideological frameworks which held gender deviance to be a marker of under-civilisation (chapter three) and the postcolonial period, in which hijras continue to fight for their rights whilst attempting to survive in an increasingly marginal social position (chapter four). Examining the literary material through the lens of these four frameworks shows, historically, the movement of the hijras in the public imaginary away from being symbols of the sacred to symbols of sexuality and charts the concurrent shift in their level of social acceptance. In terms of their literary representations, it is seen that authors draw upon material informed by each of the four frameworks, but never in simple terms. Rather, they work imaginatively but often restrictively to produce an injurious or detrimental image of the hijras, and they apply multiple historical frameworks to the same narratives and individual characters, with the result of marking them as timeless figures of eternal otherness. The image of hijras as sacred beings in Hindu mythology is recast as them being terrifying figures who are liable to curse binary-gendered citizens if their extortionate demands are not met (chapter one). The political prominence of Mughal eunuchs and their position as guardians of sexual boundaries and purity become treasonous political manipulation through the enactment of secret plots, often involving sexual violence, to impact on political events (chapters two and three). The criminalisation of hijras as a means of pushing them out of public visibility becomes naturalised anti-sociality and a shadowy existence at the social margins (chapter three). Finally, in a public environment which has both seen a major increase in campaigns for hijra rights and acceptance, but which has met with fierce opposition, the hijras are overburdened with associations which render them as hyperbolic and ultimately unsustainable figures (chapter four). Ultimately, these constructions facilitate sensationalised storylines set in the criminal underworld. Whilst the thrilling nature of these stories has the potential to capture a readership, this comes at the expense of the hijra characters, who are rendered as inherent criminals, sexual aggressors and wilfully anti-social. Campaigns to protect hijras as a third-gender category, guarantee their legal rights and end their criminalisation for the first time since 1860 have been publicly prominent since 2001; these campaigns are now coming before parliament and formal decisions are expected imminently. Examining understandings of hijras outside of their communities is thus politically timely and necessary for disrupting the cycle of overburdening them as society's gendered scapegoats, contributing to a project of more nuanced understandings necessary for their social integration.

Abstract:
<p> </p><p><strong>Bakgrund:</strong> I dagens Europa finns aktörer med delade åsikter kring hijab och dess betydelse. Debatten handlar om att eventuellt förbjuda slöjan i det offentliga rummet, detta på grund av att den bland annat anses vara en symbol för kvinnoförtryck. Ett förbud kan eventuellt leda till att de muslimska kvinnorna isoleras från samhället och integrationen försvåras.</p><p><strong>Syfte:</strong> Syftet med denna studie är att genom kvalitativa intervjuer undersöka en grupp muslimska slöjbärande kvinnors erfarenheter kring hijab. Det är även intressant hur föreställningar och upplevelser om slöjan hänger samman med processer som rör identitet och kultur. En människas identitet och kulturella tillhörighet kan krocka med omgivningens, därför är det intressant att undersöka om dessa muslimska kvinnor upplever sig som stigmatiserade.</p><p><strong>Metod:</strong> Studien är baserad på en kvalitativ metod. I de kvalitativa intervjuerna användes en halvstrukturerad intervjuguide med tre övergripande teman. Insamling av materialet har skett via livsvärldsintervjuer med tio respondenter och under samtalets gång har följdfrågor ställts som varit relevanta i det unika mötet.</p><p><strong>Teori:</strong> Studiens teorietiska utgångspunkter är identitet, kultur, kulturmöten och stigmatiseringen. Dessa har varit till hjälp i analyseringen av materialet samt i besvarandet av syftet och frågeställningarna.</p><p><strong>Resultat:</strong> Resultatet visade att det fanns delade uppfattningar om hijab och dess betydelse i samhället. Kvinnorna i studien har en stark självbild liksom identitet och kultur som bidrar till att de känner självsäkerhet gällande valet av att bära slöja. Delar av samhället har dock en annan uppfattning om slöjan och vidtar i många fall diskriminerade åtgärder för att visa deras inställning.</p><br><p><strong>Background</strong>: Today in Europe there are actors with shared views about the hijab and its importance.

It is also interesting how perception and experience of the veil is linked to processes related to identity and culture. A person’s identity and cultural affiliation may collide with its surroundings. We are therefore also interested if the Muslim women see themselves as stigmatized.</p><p><strong>Method:</strong> The study is based on a qualitative method. Qualitative interviews which is a half structured interview, has been used in this essay. An interview guide with three overarching themes has also been used.

These have been helpful in the analyze and to answer the question of our purpose.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> The results showed that there were different views on the hijab and its importance in society. The women in the study have a strong self-image, identity and culture that contribute to the self-assured security when it comes to the choice of wearing a veil.

Abstract:
The hijra subculture in Bangladesh remains one of the most marginalized and violated minority groups in Bangladesh. However, with recent legislative change in Bangladesh, the group has gained legal recognition in that a third official gender has been introduced. The people that conform to the third gender are now allowed to, in any formal and official documents within the nation, list hijra as their gender. This thesis investigates the media representation of the hijra movement’s struggle before, and after the legislative change. To serve this end, the productions of three leading English speaking media platforms have been analyzed. The aim is to further increase the understanding of the representation and visibility of the hijra rights movement, and the hijra situation in the public sphere of media. Subsequently, the study concerns the normative structures in Bangladesh, and how media as a communicative tool can focus the audience’s attention, whilst adding to these structures or challenging them. The context of culture, media as a tool for communication, and the functions of social constructivism constitute the foundation for the analysis. The investigation consists mainly of a textual discourse analysis of chosen articles from the three different media platforms.

Abstract:
Il existe en Inde trois genres : le genre masculin, le genre féminin et le genre « Hijra ». Les personnes que ce dernier caractérise sont nées avec un sexe masculin ou une malformation sexuelle allant du micropénis à l’hermaphrodisme, s’habillent et se parent comme des femmes, et parfois sont émasculées. Elles forment une catégorie socio-religieuse panindienne et s’organisent en communautés très structurées au moins dans toutes les grandes villes. Ce travail ethnologique nous fait pénétrer à l’intérieur de la communauté implantée à Delhi, capitale de l’Union Indienne. Il nous laisse voir celle-ci tant dans sa configuration interne que dans son agencement avec la société, et nous fait partager l’intimité de certaines personnes qui la constituent. La question qui le sous-tend est celle du devenir « Hijra ». Il s’attache en effet à saisir comment des individus s’insèrent dans cette catégorie qui leur a été imposée par l’extérieur non sans bouleverser leur présence au monde, qui est socialement définie et en cela a ses propres règles, régimes relationnels ainsi que contraintes, et qui surtout les fait souffrir. De cette étude transparaissent ainsi les multiples façons dont ces individus s’identifient à cette catégorie, composent avec, s’y débattent et tentent de la dépasser que ce soit collectivement ou individuellement. En fin de compte, ce qu’elle dévoile c’est une tension constante entre un genre qui constitue une détermination sociologique et le désir de ne pas être uniquement ou pas du tout considéré à travers ce genre<br>Three genders exist in India : masculine, feminine and “Hijra”. Those belonging to the “Hijra” gender are born with male sex organs or deformed sex organs (micropenis and hermaphroditism). Characteristically, they dress themselves as women and in some cases, are emasculated. They form a pan-Indian socio-religious group and live amongst themselves in structured communities in many of the big cities. This ethnological study goes deep within an established Hijra community based in Delhi, the capital of the Indian Union, to reveal the internal configuration of this community, its connections to mainstream society, and to provide an intimate account into the lives of the people who belong to it. This work focuses on how individuals become Hijra. It aims to understand how they find their place in this group which has been imposed on them by society and which has its own rules, relationship systems and constraints, which may in themselves cause suffering. This study shows the multitude of ways in which individuals identify themselves within this group, how they cope with it and try to exist behind it, either collectively or individually. Finally, this work highlights the continual struggle of Hijra people to break free of the limitation of gender

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is an attempt to question the established thesis of Joseph Schacht that Islamic law, as we know now, did not exist during the greater part of the first century of the Hijra. His argument rests on the notion that the Qur'an was only utilized as a secondary source in legal matters, and the Prophet's works were out of legal context. Thus, Muslims at that time mostly relied on customary law which was practiced in pre-Islamic Arabia. Consequently, he claims that Islamic law began to develop at the end of the first century of the Hijra, as a result of the measures taken by the Umayyad Caliphs and their Governors.<br>Contrary to this thesis, some scholars have shown some evidence to argue that Islamic law did exist during the life time of the Prophet. The Qur'an has played a significant role in formulating law as well as solving legal problems in the very beginning of the period. The key figure to apply such law is the Prophet himself and his companions, who, after him, acted as muftis. Moreover, all the Prophet's action including those related to legal matters had been transmitted orally and recorded in a written form. This transmission is owed to the isnad system which was introduced since the life time of the Prophet. After the Prophet's death, his companions pursued these legal activities by issuing legal decision which subsequently developed and became a model of Islamic law. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Cette these a pour objectif de comprendre le retour du port du voile chez les jeunes femmes turques, en particulier les etudiantes universitaires. Dans cette these nous voulons demontrer que la question de la femme est au coeur de tout projet de civilisation. Depuis l'Empire ottoman jusqu'a aujourd'hui, la place de la femme au sein de la societe est debattue autour des notions prive/public; Orient/Occident; islam/laicite; identite/egalite; modernite/tradition. L'analyse sociologique basee sur une definition d'une modernite fondee sur un presuppose d'une histoire evolutionniste et universaliste montre ses limites quand on veut expliquer l'appropriation de la modernite par les jeunes femmes voilees dans un espace extra-europeen. Le port du foulard met en effet en evidence un nouveau profil de la femme musulmane, celle qui evolue dans des espaces regis par les valeurs de la modernite. Il s'agit de comprendre le nouveau phenomene du port du voile non pas comme un simple retour a une tradition archaique ou plus exactement a un refus d'une modernite imposee depuis l'edification de la Republique turque mais d'essayer de comprendre les significations contemporaines de celui-ci. Ainsi, le hijab est devenu le symbole de la politisation de l'islam, mais il exprime aussi l'emergence d'un nouvel individu feminin en quete de difference et d'identite dans l'egalite.

Abstract:
Worldwide, conflict situations and the resultant number of refugees continue to increase, with over 43 million recorded at the end of 2009. Nearly half of those currently under the protection of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) originally came from Iraq or Afghanistan. Although less than 1% will eventually be resettled in new host nations, their long term health and settlement prospects are a matter of continuing relevance. Since 2000, Australia alone has accepted over 58,000 Afghan refugees, with more than 5000 resettled in New Zealand. Although refugees accepted under humanitarian programs receive state support frequently denied to asylum seekers, they are still vulnerable to acculturative stress. Public attitudes and government policies to immigration in receiving countries inevitably play an important role in resettlement outcomes.The overall aim of this research project was to examine the resettlement experiences of refugees settled in Australia and New Zealand, taking into consideration the different policy and social setting in each location. A mixed methods approach was adopted for this exploratory study, utilising both qualitative and quantitative methods to investigate the social and political environment surrounding refugee issues in the public sphere, as well as assessing the health and wellbeing of former refugee participants.A comparative study of newspaper reporting of refugee issues was conducted to monitor trends in reporting over time, to assess public attitudes in each location, and provide background context to the main study findings. This media study provided insights into the politics of the refugee debate and policy environment in New Zealand and Australia, revealing significant differences in the way refugee issues are portrayed by the media in each location. Compared to New Zealand, newspaper articles in Australia were more politicised, and less likely to portray refugees in a positive manner. Since 2001, political attitudes to asylum seekers hardened, as revealed in Australian coverage, reflecting increasing negativity towards refugees overall. In particular, reporting suggests public attitudes towards refugees and those who are visibly different may be shifting over time.This was followed up by a survey of former refugees from Afghanistan and the Kurdish regions of Iraq and Iran, who were living in Perth, Western Australia and Christchurch, New Zealand at the time of data collection in 2008. A mixed methods approach was used to evaluate the perceived effectiveness of resettlement programs in addressing the psychosocial and health care needs of these groups. For the purposes of the study, it was necessary to define what was meant by ‘successful resettlement’. Based on the availability of suitable quantitative instruments this was primarily conceptualised by measuring subjective well being and psychological distress. An additional instrument was also included to assess general self efficacy, as this can influence motivation and attitudes to change. Translated and culturally validated Instruments were provided in Farsi (Persian), Arabic and English for self completion during interview.Participants were recruited by a snowball sampling technique, using multiple initial contacts with short chains of contacts within each of the refugee groups to improve representativeness and reduce selection bias. Comparison with census data and community profile maps provided reassurance that this had been achieved. Ascending methods help to overcome some of the sampling challenges encountered with difficult to access and vulnerable populations such as these, accepting that achieving an indicative sample provides valuable information even if not truly representative.Quantitative data collected using individual, questionnaire-based interviews was obtained from 193 participants settled up to 20 years. This assessed key outcome variables using the Kessler-10 Psychological Distress Scale (K10), the Personal Well Being Index (for subjective well being) and the General Perceived Self Efficacy scale. In combination with demographic data, this allowed comparisons across domains based on ethnic group, gender, temporal variables and country of settlement. Qualitative material from open ended questions, presenting the personal perspectives of 124 participants, offered valuable insights into their overall resettlement experiences, quality of life, sources of stress and coping responses.Psychological distress was revealed to be a chronic problem, with 60% of those settled more than 8 years still above the K10 threshold. Despite this, many people were reluctant to seek professional help despite considerable morbidity. Introspection and depression were the main sources of concern for participants at all stages of resettlement, closely followed by separation from family and friends, feeling overwhelmed by the challenges facing them and relationship issues. Unemployment was significantly associated with poor mental health, especially as it often resulted in people sitting at home ‘thinking too much’. In addition, the impact of political events and the situation of significant others in their home countries, as reinforced by media reporting of conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, was also influential. Women in particular, struggled due to a lack of family support, changing roles and expectations, and social isolation. The perception that public attitudes towards Muslims changed as a result of political events elsewhere, resulted in some people believing that they would never really fit in. This may be linked with the cultural and religious concerns expressed by some participants and reflect wider societal attitudes to refugees in general, or Muslims in particular, especially in Australia. Reality often fell short of expectation as refugees experienced difficulties forming relationships within the host society and were concerned around discrimination and employment challenges.The study findings contribute to the current literature on refugee resettlement in a number of ways. Firstly, both the media and refugee components of the study provide unique comparative data between Australia and New Zealand in this area, and the ability to disaggregate the refugee survey findings by ethnic origin is also distinctive. The inclusion of participants settled up to twenty years, which highlighted continuing concerns around unemployment and possible discrimination, has also contributed to the discussion on long-term settlement outcomes. Taken together, the findings of the study suggest possible links between public attitudes to refugees as portrayed by media reports, and wider societal attitudes towards certain groups which impact on the mental health and well being of former refugees. Although the research confirmed the prevalence of chronic psychological distress for some participants, identified risk factors related to ongoing settlement concerns and revealed a number of chronic long term stressors, a number of positive aspects of their lives were also described.The research has highlighted the need to understand differences between refugee groups, especially those with a wide cultural distance from the host community, recommending tailored programs to most effectively target areas of greatest need for each group and ensuring that access to support is still available long term if needed. One key finding has been to highlight the importance of suitable employment or other form of daily activity for former refugees, to provide them with a sense of meaningful achievement and respectable social position. As obtaining suitable employment is a primary means of accomplishing this, it is recommended that more support be given to encourage employers to take on former refugee workers, to acknowledge their experience and transferable skills and to build on the resilience and initiative many people have developed during their time as refugees. Doing this will assist with refugees more rapidly and successfully integrating into their new societies and moving towards a post-resettlement sense of identity and belonging.

Abstract:
This thesis concerns the contexts and choices associated with the wearing of the hijab in Britain, beginning with the impact of events such as 9/11. For many in the West, the hijab has become perceived as a symbol of Islam and as a result hijab wearing women who were living in Britain were identified as being connected with those who had carried out the 9/11 attacks in the United States. There was evidence from this research that there was an increase in first time hijab wearing, particularly in those between the ages of 25-39, however, 9/11 had not been directly responsible for this increase, but the higher profile of Islam due to the attacks had encouraged the women to find out about the religion for themselves and the rulings that related to them. Sales of the hijab have increased along with a more defined Islamic fashion consciousness and a desire by the women to wear what they regard as Islamic dress. This feminist standpoint research, although carried out by a white, non-Muslim from a middle-class background gave the women the opportunity to talk about their lives and explain the wearing or non-wearing of the hijab. A number of related themes were identified: Religion/religious community; Education; Family and friends; Clothing industry/fashion; and 9/11, although the thread that ran through all of these themes was the notion of choice. The women described wearing or not wearing hijab as their choice, although some had more influence from others. When choice theory was examined in relation to the wearing or non-wearing of the hijab it could be seen that although rational choice theory, lifestyle choices, family, habitus and individualization could tell us something about why the women made the choices they did, it was the interplay between individualization and tradition that gave the most accurate explanation as to why these women were making their choices. These theories did not tell the whole story however, and the conclusion discusses a reinterpretation of the Islamic teachings occurring in Britain with the women interpreting the Qur'an and the religious texts for themselves before arriving at their own conclusions as to what they should be wearing. This reinterpretation is driving the changes in behaviour for many Muslim women in Britain.

Abstract:
This thesis concerns female Islamic dress, the hijab, in contemporary urban Finland. The hijab is not merely a symbol or an inevitable embodiment of either female oppression or agency, but rather is a form of dress that is simultaneously social, mental, material, and spatial. The approach developed here captures the multiple dimensions of the hijab as it is lived and experienced. The thesis draws upon ideas from a range of social theorists, including Bourdieu, Lefebvre, Goffman, and Gramsci. These ideas are deployed to understand the conscious and semi-conscious dress strategies and practices that veiling Muslim women use to manage various everyday issues and challenges. I investigate questions concerning how social, material and spatial relations both impact upon, and are negotiated by, the wearing of the hijab. The research was conducted in Helsinki using ethnographic methods, such as semi-structured interviews and participant observation. The main groups of informants were Finnish converts to Islam, Somalis, and Shi'a Muslims from Iran, Afghanistan and Iraq, and the sample covered women of various ages, educational backgrounds, and professional positions. The empirical chapters are organised according to four major themes: Politics, Materiality, Performance, and Visibility in Public Space. According to the findings, Muslim women in Finland negotiate their dress strategies with reference to Finnish ‘mainstream' society, religious doctrine and the demands of their particular ethnic communities. Dress strategies and practices are found to be bound up in complex but identifiable ways with factors such as fashion markets and dress availability, diverse modes of embodiment and habituation, and the socio-spatial relations which produce and are produced by the Finnish built environment. In sum, by focussing on the lived experience of wearing the hijab, many of the more simplistic politicised understandings of Muslim women and their characteristic forms of dress can be challenged and superseded.

Abstract:
Abstract After the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran, there were several changes in the status of women's rights. Some of these new changes disregarded the freedom of the people, regardless of gender, like freedom of expression, writing, religion, etc. But in some cases, they were only against the women's individual rights and freedoms. One of the obvious restrictions forced on the women is the obligatory Hijab. Compulsory Hijab has been recognized in Iranian law since 1983, and Iran is now the only country in the world where Hijab is compulsory for all women in all public places. The compulsory Hijab violates the women’s rights to choose what to wear. Although this restriction was imposed both by the rule of law and by the traditional part of the society, many women have opposed and fought it over the years. The remarkable point is that in the last few years, the women's struggle against forced Hijab has become more and more effective and more women are involved in this social movement. Iran traditionally used to be a man dominated country and still some degree of patriarchy exists in the society, especially in the religious parts. With this, it is important to position the Iranian men role in the Iranian women anti-compulsory Hijab movement framework and indicates that whether the men take a neutral, deterrent, or supportive position in this movement. To do so, first the relevant scientific theories, the social movement theory and the new social movement theory, are applied to characterize the Iranian women anti-compulsory Hijab movement. Then a set of semi-structured interviews with six men and seven women are arranged to extract the related data to explore better the men role in the considered movement. Then the considered theories are utilized to analyse the interview’s findings and connect them to the topic of the thesis. Finally, based on the data analysis, the related conclusions are drawn. The most important extracted conclusion is that it seems the Iranian men mainly took a progressive step and change their position from being deterrent to the neutral one with respect to the considered movement.

Abstract:
In the late 1900s the Islamic feminist movement arose in a time of an Islamic renaissance in the Arab world. Even though it started as an Arabic movement it quickly spread to the international arena and became global. Today there are Islamic feminists all over the globe and this study is a discourse analysis with a focus on the Islamic feminist movement of today. The aim of the study is to investigate what the members of the movement have in common and on what viewpoints their opinions differ. The material used for the study is Internet blogs written by Islamic feminists and the timeframe of the blog posts stretches from the start of the Arab Spring until today. There is a focus of the debate concerning hijab in the blog posts chosen in order to limit the available material.                                                                      The conclusion of the essay is that there are similarities to be found on all the blogs concerning the issue of hijab. A majority of the bloggers agree that wearing hijab is compatible with the Islamic feminist discourse, but there is no complete consensus on the subject. Overall the results show that there are many similarities to be found concerning Islamic feminism that points toward that the Islamic feminism can be viewed as a holistic movement today. All writes argue that the pre-Islamic society was patriarchal and that this patriarchal society influenced misinterpretations of the Qur’an. Women became wrongfully minimized through the faulty interpretations and the bloggers argue that the Qur’an should be reanalysed. The bloggers describe that God’s initial intention was an equal society.

Full text
Abstract:
In 2004, a French law went into effect banning girls in state sponsored schools from wearing the hijab, a Muslim head covering. While the law also banned the Jewish kippa and large cross necklaces from being worn in public schools, the hijab took center stage in what became a worldwide media frenzy. The ban of the hijab as well as more recent laws that banned full face veils in all public spaces and a ban on Muslim prayer being performed in the street show a growing divide in the French populace. This thesis argues that these recent laws, as well as the rise in popularity of the far rightwing political party the National Front are evidence that France is moving away from its civic nationalist traditions and adopting a more ethnic based nationalism.

Abstract:
One of the outstanding scholars of the field of Moroccan travel literature was Muh?ammad b. Muh?ammad al-T?ayyib b. Muh?ammad b. Musa b. Muh?ammad al-Sharqi al-Sumayli, al-Fasi al-Madani. Born in the city of Fez in 1110/1698. He studied with some of the most known scholars of Morocco at that time including Abu al-cAbbas Ah?mad al-Misnawi, Abu cAbdullah Muh?ammad al-Misnawi, Abu al-cAbbas Ah?mad al-Fasi and Abu T?ahir Muhammad al-Kurani. Having acquired his early education in his home country he emigrated eastward to Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and finally to Medinah where he died in 1170/1756 after living and teaching there for many years. It is not surprising then that this great scholar left behind him a treasure of works in a variety of fields; indeed we find Ibn al-T?ayyib wrote many works, including four in jurisprudence, three in h?adith and sixteen in grammar and in linguistics. Despite this however many of his academic contributions remain in manuscript form and therefore are inaccessible to the greater majority. One such work is “Rih?lah il a al-H?ijaz,” which is particularly important to the field of travel literature as it represents a major contribution. This is because Ibn al-T?ayyib came relatively late, historically, compared to other travel writers. In addition, it contains many minute details, which the author took care to record during his journey from place to place. It also contains accounts of everything he saw and his comments regarding the social, economic and political conditions of the countries he visited, as well as comments about the scholars whom he was able to meet. This work is important also because it is considered the most important reference for the author’s life, culture and is an important literary reference in terms of the poetry and prose, classical and modern, eastern and western, that it contains. In addition it accounts for both literary and religious scholars, the linguistic derivations of geographical names and draws attention to the mistakes of those who wrote about them before him. Bearing in mind the great significance of this work from a variety of aspects this thesis involves the complete revision, editing, annotation and authentication of the manuscript including the correction of missing characters and providing available information and biographical notes on the text.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to investigate how women, having migrated from a Muslim country to Sweden, reason about their veiling – why do they wear the veil and what meaning does the veil have for them? The veiling custom has become the subject of a heated and polarized debate in Sweden. But where are the veiled women given space to speak, and why are they not involved more in a debate that most of all concern them?                                                                                                                                    Four women from Syria, now living in Sweden, participated in this interview study. The purpose is to investigate the aim with basis in three analytic themes: identity, presentation of self and resistance. These themes have been analysed based on relevant theories and previous research within the subject: social and personal identity, impression control, stereotyping, power and resistance. The previous research consists of three different studies performed on countries with a Muslim majority or minority: India, Indonesia, Canada, Denmark, and Great Britain. In this way, this study attempts to understand, as profoundly as possible, the meaning of the veil from the perspective of the veiled woman herself.                                                                 The result shows that the veil has great meaning in terms of identity and presentation of self. The result also shows that the clash with the discursive power regarding veiling can cause resistance, which in turn affects the meaning of the veil both in terms of internal identity creation and the external presentation of self. This is due to the threat against identity from a challenging environment forcing the human being to negotiate and define identity within herself, which also affects presentation of self. The experiences and reasoning of the respondents differ both over time and between them, sometimes in paradoxical ways, although they are similar in some aspects. This indicates that although they experience, are affected by and shaped by the same societal discourses, they react differently and therefore relate differently to their veiling.<br>Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie är att undersöka hur muslimska kvinnor som har migrerat från ett muslimskt land resonerar om sitt slöjbärande– varför bär de slöja och vilken betydelse har slöjan för dem? Att bära slöja har blivit ett omdiskuterat ämne i Sverige och åsikterna som hörs och syns i samhället är både många och polariserade. Men var ges de slöjbärande kvinnorna plats att tala och varför involveras de inte mer i en debatt som först och främst rör dem själva?                                                                                                                                  Fyra kvinnor från Syrien, numera boende i Sverige, har deltagit i studien. Med intervju som metod avser studien att undersöka syftet utifrån tre analytiska teman: identitet, självpresentation och motstånd. Dessa teman har analyserats utifrån relevanta teorier och tidigare forskning i ämnet; social och personlig identitet, intrycksstyrning, stereotypering samt makt och motstånd. Den tidigare forskningen är tre olika studier gjorda i muslimska majoritets- och minoritetsländer såsom, Indien, Indonesien Canada och Danmark och Storbritannien. På detta sätt avser denna studie att på ett så djupgående sätt som möjligt försöka förstå slöjans betydelse ur den slöjbärandes eget perspektiv.    Studiens resultat visar att slöjan har stor betydelse för identitet och självpresentation. Resultatet visar också att möte med diskursiv makt kring slöjbärande kan leda till motstånd vilket påverkar slöjans betydelse både för det inre identitetsarbetet och den yttre självpresentationen. Detta beror på att hotet mot identiteten från en ifrågasättande omgivning tvingar människan att förhandla och definiera identiteten inom sig själv vilket också påverkar självpresentationen. Informanternas upplevelser och resonemang skiljer sig åt både över tid och mellan varandra på ibland paradoxala sätt, samtidigt som de liknar varandra i vissa avseenden. Det tyder på att även om de upplever, påverkas och formas av samma diskurser i samhället så kan de reagera olika och därmed också förhålla sig olika till sitt slöjbärande.

Ce travail consacré essentiellement à l'édition critique et à la traduction française du Raf al-hijab d'Ibn al-Banna al-Murrakushi (m. 1321), a été complété par une introduction qui contient en particulier un rappel des études faites sur cet auteur : les historiens des sciences d'avant-guerre se sont interessés uniquement au talkhis. Or, des recherches récentes ont montré que l'apport mathematique d'Ibn al-Banna, dans le domaine algébrique, dans celui de la théorie des nombres, et en analyse combinatoire, est contenu surtout dans son second livre le Raf al-hijab. L'étude bibliographique consacrée exclusivement aux écrits mathématiques d'Ibn al-Banna révèle la place importante occupée par le talkhis, dans le domaine de l'enseignement et dans celui de la rédaction d'ouvrages mathématiques au Maghreb médiéval. En ce qui concerne Raf al-hijab, son analyse revèle que des outils philosophiques, juridiques ou linguistiques ont été sollicités par Ibn al-Banna pour expliciter certains principes premiers de la science du calcul, et pour justifier quelques définitions mathématiques. Quant à l'analyse mathématique de ce traité elle a permis de repérer les différentes contributions de l'auteur et ses éventuelles influences en mathématiques. Pour établir le texte nous avons comparé les manuscrits deux à deux, en les décrivant et en établissant leur arbre généalogique. Nous avons donné à la fin un index bilingue des mots du Raf al-hijab

Abstract:
This dissertation provides a critical discursive analysis of videos, blogs, and social media posts created by two African-American Muslim women who live in the Southern United States, Najwa Niang and Nadira Abdul-Quddus, who make up the, group, Muslimah2Muslimah. As African-American women who do not speak Arabic, Najwa and Nadira fall outside of normative institutions of Islamic learning. Thus, they have taken to YouTube to create their own interpretive communities based on their interpretations of English translated versions of the Qur’an and hadith. Through fashion and beauty tutorials on YouTube, Najwa and Nadira they perform a new Muslim cool, centering their Blackness, and challenging hegemonic formulations of Islam that subordinate African-Americans. I argue that for Najwa and Nadira, fashion is a form of embodied theology. The use their stylized bodies to reimagine religious authority, knowledge transmission, and the image of Muslim womanhood by centering Black expressive culture. My dissertation provides an important intervention in the fields of religious studies and material Islam, highlighting how debates around race and gender are enacted in everyday life.

Abstract:
The practice of wearing hijab has been around for hundreds of years and around the world by Muslim women. It has been revealed that the decision to wear hijab is varied among Muslim women ranging from religious convictions to the consideration of the attire as a tool for empowerment. This paper, which utilizes a normative method with an argumentative structure, will defend the right of veiled Muslim women to employment and free from discrimination, and aims to clarify why the general ban on religious sign, specifically on hijab in this regard, not conforming to the basic principles of human rights . The argumentation will include a discussion and critiques regarding the two core principles in favor of banning hijab in the field of employment and comes to the conclusion that they appear to be built on weak grounds. Furthermore, some relevant conflicting principles regarding the hijab issue within the field of employment will be discussed. The conclusion maintains that veiled Muslim women shall not be pushed into the corner of the society by the two dominant discourses which are now included in the written legislations within the European laws and national laws. The paper concludes by stating that veiled Muslim women shall be accommodated to work and contribute to the European mainstream employment just like females from other groups.

Abstract:
The population of 2nd generation Canadian-Muslim women who choose to veil, or wear the hijab, is steadily increasing. Rather than inquire why these women choose to do so, this study explores how Muslim youth use the veil as a fashion accessory. Guided by research questions that focus on the representation of the veil in popular culture, this study explores the veil as a sign as the women negotiate ‘being Muslim’ and ‘being Canadian’. Informed by a cultural studies conceptual framework, veiling in fashionable ways, or, ‘voguing the veil’, is explored as a form of ‘public pedagogy’ (Giroux, 2004). Using an Advocacy and Participatory methodology, the four women and myself engage in a collaborative inquiry examining meanings behind how we vogue the veil. Through a series of interviews, focus groups and journal entries accompanied by personal photographs (photovoice), the women and I co-construct narratives around their identity as women who veil in ways that contest dominant discourse. Together we explore the impact of constructs such as beauty, femininity and sexuality on our identities as Muslim women who veil in Canada. Co-constructing participant case studies permits readers “access to the world from the view-point of individuals who have not traditionally held control over the means of imaging the world” (Berg, 2007, p. 233), at many times surprising and contradicting what is ‘known’ about the veiled Muslim woman. The findings reveal themes that deeply impact how the women choose to veil. These themes include the strategies the women use to employ their veils as a means of agency and how, within and through different pedagogical spaces, the women’s performances and performativity of the veil shifts. The women in the study demonstrate that by ‘voguing the veil’, they are in fact attempting to transform the meaning of the veil as a marker of Canadian Identity. Using the voices, photos and narratives of the four women I argue that through ‘voguing the veil’ these young Muslim women are actively entering into and creating spaces so to be seen as an integral part of Canadian society and as such can be recognized as an emerging subculture.

Abstract:
Antalet muslimer som bor i Sverige har genom de senaste årtiondenas invandring ökat kraftigt. Detta har också lett till att islam har blivit mer synlig som en del av den religiösa offentligheten i Sverige, ett land där majoritetsbefolkningen är kristen. Islams ökade närvaro och synlighet i det svenska samhället har oundvikligen lett till att ett antal diskussioner och spänningar har uppstått. En de mest aktuella och medialt bevakade diskussionerna i detta avseende är frågan om slöjan, eller hijab, som bärs av många muslimska kvinnor. En oroande ökning av islamofobi i västvärlden sedan 11e september-attacken i USA 2001, vilken i många avseenden förefaller bero på en okunskap både vad gäller religion och kultur, skänker extra relevans till studier som söker öka kunskaper inom detta område. I synnerhet finns en brist på studier som ägnar särskild uppmärksamhet åt kvinnor inom den muslimska minoriteten i västvärlden. Händelser under senare år, så som förbjudet av hijab i franska skolor, väcker en mängd frågor runt detta så uppenbart värdeladdade klädesplagget som bärs av många muslimska kvinnor och hur detta förhåller sig till den förmodade ökade utsattheten hos muslimer bosatta i länder med en kristen majoritetsbefolkning. Genom att utgå ifrån existerande litteratur på ämnet samt kvalitativa intervjuer belyser denna studie den religiösa sedvänjan hos unga muslimska kvinnor bosatta i Sverige att bära slöja. Studien ämnar undersöka den kontext i vilken den bärs, vilken innebörd den har för unga kvinnor, och vilka eventuella konsekvenser det har i deras liv. Genom en kvalitativ forskningsstrategi baserad på intervjuer med åtta unga svenska muslimska kvinnor har studien genererat resultat som visar att bärandet av slöja i en svensk kulturell kontext är förenat med en mängd svårigheter, men att det också är svårigheter som kan fungera som identitetsstärkande. Studien visar att bärandet av slöja i en västerländsk kulturell kontext ofta är en kamp i många olika avseenden. Denna kamp förefaller i många fall påverka såväl kvinnornas känsla och syn på den egna identiteten som det religiösa utövandet. Att praktisera den traditionella sedvänjan att bära slöja ses av många som extra viktigt i en sekulär kulturell kontext, som ett sätt att såväl externt som för sig själv tydliggöra den religiösa delen av ens identitet.<br>The number of Muslims living in Sweden has, through the last few decades’ immigration, increased greatly. This has also led to Islam becoming more visible as part of the religious public room in Sweden, a country where the majority population is Christian. Islam's increased presence and visibility in Swedish society has inevitably led to a number of discussions and tensions. One of the most current and medially guarded discussions in this regard is the question of the veil, or scarf, worn by many Muslim women. An alarming increase in Islamophobia in the Western world since the September 11th attacks in New York, which in many respects seems to be due to a lack of knowledge both in terms of religion and culture, gives extra relevance to studies that seek to increase knowledge in this area. In particular, there is a lack of studies that give special attention to women within the Muslim minority in the western world. Events in recent years, such as the hijab ban in French schools, raises a lot of questions around this so clearly symbolically loaded garment worn by many Muslim women and how this relates to the supposed increased vulnerability of Muslims living in countries with a Christian majority population. By starting out in existing literature on the subject and using qualitative interviews this study seeks to highlight the religious practice of young Muslim women living in Sweden to wear the veil. The study intends to examine the context in which it is worn, what meaning it has for young women, and what possible consequences it has in their lives. Through a qualitative research strategy based on interviews with eight young Swedish Muslim women, the study has generated results that show that the wearing of the veil in a Swedish cultural context is associated with a variety of difficulties, but that these difficulties can also act as strong identity-builders. The study shows that the wearing of the veil in a Western cultural context is often a struggle in many different respects. This battle seems to affect both women’s feelings and views of one's own identity as a religious exercise. To practice the traditional custom of wearing the veil is seen by many as particularly important in a secular cultural context, as a way of both externally for and for oneself clarifying the religious part of one's identity.

Abstract:
Magíster en Psicología Clínica de Adultos<br>Esta investigación busca conocer las narrativas de las familias de la región metropolitana acerca del proceso de decisión de no tener hijos (as), para esto, se contactaron familias chilenas que habían optado voluntariamente por no tener hijos (as), se les realizó una entrevista narrativa y se les solicitó construir en conjunto una carta pensando en ellos en 20 años más. Los datos se analizaron con el análisis narrativo propuesto por Labov y Waletzky (1967) (como se citó en Smith, 2006), resultando en un análisis estructural y de contenido interpretativo basado en la propuesta analítica de la teoría fundada. Los resultados muestran un proceso constante que debe conjugar las posiciones y ritmos de cada miembro respecto a los hijos (as), el proceso se puede visualizar en ocho fases, las cuáles no necesariamente ocurren de forma lineal, muchas de estas fases emergen en varias partes del proceso, lo que muestra la complejidad y dinamismo de la decisión. Se enfatiza en los periodos de reflexión y de tensiones constantes, en particular respecto de las mujeres. Por último se devela la significación de la decisión como categoría central, estas familias quieren dedicarse a otro estilo de vida que les haga sentido, relacionado con su libertad, crecimiento personal y espiritual

Abstract:
Licenciada en artes con mención en teoría e historia del arte<br>La presente tesina tiene como objetivo analizar el documental autobiográfico Hija a partir de los conceptos de experiencia y distanciamiento, analizados por Benjamin en trabajos como “el narrador” y “Tentativas sobre Brecht”. La elección de este tema responde a un interés personal por el cine y en particular por lo que puede llegar a tener de articulador y desarticulador de verdades, interés que se incrementa al considerarlo como un medio que, en todos los casos, es potencialmente masivo. Los mecanismos por medio de los cuales el cine articula y desarticula ideas, relatos, verdades, pueden ser observados desde distintas ópticas; la construcción del guión, la mayor o menor experimentación visual, la generación de shock como resultado del montaje, etc. Esta tesina no pretende realizar un análisis acabado de estos elementos, sino más bien conjugar algunos de ellos con los conceptos que hemos mencionado, y con el contexto en el que prolifera la realización de documentales autobiográficos. He seleccionado el documental autobiográfico, y específicamente el documental Hija, debido a que en él se aprecia un cruce interesante entre operaciones visuales y una reflexión sobre lo que significa realizar un relato cinematográfico sobre la propia vivencia de su realizador.
