This book is open access and available on
www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by the Religious
Matters in an Entangled World program, Utrecht University, the
Netherlands. Public manifestations of Islam remain fiercely
contested across the Global West. Studies to date have focused on
the visual presence of Islam - the construction of mosques or the
veiling of Muslim women. Amplifying Islam in the European
Soundscape is the first book to add a sonic dimension to analyses
of the politics of Islamic aesthetics in Europe. Sound does not
respect public/private boundaries, and people experience sound
viscerally. As such, the public amplification of the azan, the call
to prayer, offers a unique opportunity to understand what is at
stake in debates over religious toleration and secularism. The
Netherlands were among the first European countries to allow the
amplification of the azan in the 1980s, and Pooyan Tamimi Arab
explores this as a case study embedded in a broader history of
Dutch religious pluralism. The book offers a pointed critique of
social theories that regard secularism as all-encompassing. While
cultural forms of secularism exclude Muslim rights to public
worship, Amplifying Islam in the European Soundscape argues that
political and constitutional secularism also enables Muslim demands
for amplifying calls to prayer. It traces how these exclusions and
inclusions are effected through proposals for mosques, media
debates, law and policy, but also in negotiations on the ground
between residents, municipalities and mosques.
