The Apocalyptic Hijab: Emirati Mediations of Pious Fashion and Conflict Talk

Abstract This article examines Emirati public discourse on, and imagination of, gendered pious fashion and conflict talk as animated in the sitcom Shaabiat Al-Cartoon (SAC) and other connected cultural expressions. Through a multimodal analysis, it contributes to discussions of the politics of piety by analyzing the strategic illustration of the UAE’s female fashion sense and use of the linguistic features that move verbal dueling to verbal attack. In this prefabricated orality, the article outlines linguistic forms in mediating gendered conflict talk and animating pious fashion. The paper further argues that a multimodal social semiotic performance that is based on language and apparel can produce powerful effects on the co-production of gendered identities. Additionally, it demonstrates through this analysis how the producers of an episode of SAC, through the use of semiotic cues, attempt to reflect and shape Emirati sociocultural values and idioms on pious gendered clothing and perceptions of religiosity and modernity.

Social Perceptions of Religiosity: Dogmatism Tarnishes the Religious Halo

Researchers have provided much evidence in support of a religious halo effect—the tendency for people to evaluate a religious target more favorably than a nonreligious counterpart. This experimental study (N = 361 U.S. adults) extended previous work beyond the dichotomy of religious versus nonreligious by varying a fictional target's degree of belief. Only religious participants exhibited a nonspecific pro-religious bias consistent with the religious halo effect, favoring religious over not religious and very over somewhat religious targets. However, indicators of dogmatic thinking (e.g., I am so sure I am right about the important things in life, there is no evidence that could convince me otherwise) degraded target evaluations by religious and nonreligious participants alike. Results suggest that religiosity's positive associations depend upon an assumption of strong but flexible belief and underscore the importance of studying social perceptions of religious fundamentalists.

The Perceptions of some Australian Coptic Students of the Influences on their Religious Development

This article discusses some aspects of a research project that investigated the perceptions of religiosity and spirituality of young Copts from two Coptic schools in Melbourne. Contemporary Australia is a relatively young multicultural and multi-faith society so that Australian youth are exposed to a wide range of cultural and religious practices through both community interaction and a highly influential media. Within such a context, the Copts are a small ethnic community who are focused on handing on their cultural and religious heritage to their younger members. This article explores what young school-going Copts say about the various elements that appear to nurture their religiosity and spirituality.

The unique and the unifying: Children's narratives of cultural differences

SUMMARY Pioneering efforts to map relations between religious and secular Jews in Israel, and to foster these relations by arranging encounters between them, usually take place among teenagers and adults. Very few attempts have been made to document and examine the narratives of secularism and religiosity of young children and the institutional attempts to influence those narratives. The purpose of this paper is to examine different narratives and perceptions of religiosity and secularism in the light of an intergroup encounter among children and parents at a school in Jerusalem, Israel. The study examines interrelations, informal relations, and manifestations of tolerance among religious and secular children and parents.

The effect of didactic teaching on spiritual attitudes.

The effectiveness of an elective course on spirituality in altering student attitudes was evaluated. A demographic data questionnaire about religious practices and a standardized Religious Belief Questionnaire were completed by 176 junior baccalaureate nursing students. Those students enrolled in a spirituality elective increased their mean scores on four of the seven subscales of the second questionnaire. When compared to students in the other nursing electives, students who had completed the spirituality course also scored higher on four subscales. There were no significant differences in perceptions of religiosity between student groups.
