Abstract

Whereas religious practice has conventionally been associated with the stabilization of urban processes through social anchorage and the mobilization of common identity, it does also entail a sense of continuously shifting perspectives. Urbanity is seen and experienced through multiple prisms and possibilities, something that Islamic concepts related to circulation, displacement and intersection have long emphasized. Currently a politics of mobilizing religious practices is key to understanding how the social fabric of cities is remade, and this essay discusses its limits and possibilities.
