Journal Article
Civilizing Muslim youth: Egyptian state culture programmes and Islamic television preachers
2014
Overview
This article explores the similarities and differences between artist and Islamic preacher discourses on art, culture, and youth in Mubarak-era Egypt in order to highlight the utility and limitations of current anthropological discussions of secularism and religious discursive traditions. By focusing on the shared civilizing and transformative associations of youth, art, and religion, it argues that there is an ingraining of Islamic civilizing traditions into modern governance and vice versa. Furthermore, explaining this phenomenon of ingraining requires that we give more attention to social class and geographical location, nationalism, global and national political-economic shifts, and the complicated ways that globally circulating discourses become entangled. L'article explore les points communs et les différences entre les discours des artistes et des prédicateurs islamiques sur l'art, la culture et la jeunesse dans l'Égypte de Moubarak, pour mettre en lumière l'utilité et les limites des débats anthropologiques actuels sur le sécularisme et les traditions discursives religieuses. En se concentrant sur les associations civilisatrices et transformatives entre jeunesse, art et religion qu'elles partagent, l'auteure avance que les traditions civilisatrices islamiques sont enracinées dans la gouvernance moderne, et vice versa. Pour expliquer ce phénomène d'enracinement, il faudrait que nous prêtions davantage d'attention à la classe sociale et à la position géographique, au nationalisme, aux changements politico-économiques mondiaux et nationaux et à l'entremêlement complexe des discours circulant à l'échelle globale.
