taqwacore - punk - identity - the Kominas - Islam - infrapolitics - minority - Michael M.Knight |
| خلاصة : |
In 2004, the publication of American Muslim author Michael Muhammad Knight's debut novel The Taqwacores triggered the emergence of the taqwacore scene, a "Muslim punk" scene. The taqwacores convey a message of religious tolerance as well as their longing for a religion free from the control of any religious institutions, but also controversial political positions, through their music, their public statements, and their concerts. This article analyzes the emergence of the taqwacore scene and community, underlines their political positions, and examines the tools they use to convey their political message. The taqwacores have managed to give their activism a shape of its own, going so far as to consider politics itself in an infrapolitical way. They help us re-think the notion of infrapolitics, and consider it from a different and innovative angle. |
