dc.description.abstract | Digital media platforms have become important spaces for Muslims to discuss and debate Islam and Islamic values in the contemporary world. In this study, I analyze the affective nature of digital Islamic discourse, focusing primarily on how the internet allows for the formation of transnational Muslim collectives based upon shared sensory experience. In doing so, I coin a new term that I use to refer to such digital spaces – the affective Islamic public. I discuss three case studies that I use to define the affective Islamic public: a social media controversy surrounding an American Muslim journalist, an online argument between a preacher in Tajikistan and a member of ISIS, and a Snapchat Live Story depicting the events of a Muslim religious holiday. To conclude, I suggest some best practices that other researchers interested in affect and digital religious discourse can use to conduct further studies in this field. | |
