This book is an anthropological investigation into the different
forms the economy assumes, and the different purposes it serves,
when conceived from the perspective of Islamic micro-finance as a
field of everyday practice. It is based on long-term ethnographic
research in Java, Indonesia, with Islamic foundations active in
managing zakat and other charitable funds, for purposes of poverty
alleviation. The book explores the social foundations of
contemporary Islamic practices that strive to encompass the
economic within an expanded domain of divine worship and elucidates
the effects such encompassment has on time, its fissure and
synthesis. In order to elaborate on the question of time, the book
looks beyond anthropology and Islamic studies, engaging
attentively, critically and productively with the
post-structuralist work of G. Deleuze, M. Foucault and J. Derrida,
three of the most important figures of the temporal turn in
contemporary philosophy.
