What Explains Voter Preferences in Transitional Tunisia? The Role of Particularistic Benefits

ABSTRACT What explains electoral support for Islamist parties? Existing literature assesses the role of programmatic appeals, in the form of religious ideology and economic programs, but lacks the data needed to test the role of particularistic benefits in shaping voter choice. Drawing on an original survey of 1,202 Tunisians conducted in 2012, I test the role of programmatic and particularistic benefits in explaining voter choice in Tunisia’s 2011 Constituent Assembly and 2014 parliamentary elections. I argue that, due to its greater party organizational capacity, Ennahda provided more constituency service than other parties and was more successful in attracting new supporters by 2012 as a result. In 2011, Ennahda voters were more religious and economically marginalized than non-Islamist voters. Yet by 2012, Ennahda developed a voter base drawn both from those who are ideologically committed to its religious program as well as those who requested constituency service from an Ennahda member. By showing that programmatic and particularistic appeals explain voter support for Islamist parties, this research extends the literature on Islam and politics and illustrates the importance of party capacity for developing a voter base in transitional contexts.

Honouring the Religious Rights of the LGBTQ Persons: An Islamic Perspective

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) is a term that is no longer unknown to the people of this country. Media reports about their movement keep the public informed about their developments locally and internationally. The behaviour and lifestyle of the LGBTQ persons are at odds, not only with the sharīʿah, but also with local laws, culture, and practices. Nevertheless, advocates of the LGBTQ movement are striving to obtain universal rights that they claimed to be the LGBTQ persons’ rights in social life. While the movement claims to protect the rights of LGBTQ persons, they have been found to deny the most fundamental right, namely religious freedom. This religious freedom allows them to undergo rehabilitation to live a dignified life. The denial of religious freedom coincides with the international movement to remove homosexuality from the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 1990. It also coincides with efforts to remove the term “gender disorder” from the list of mental disorders. At the national level, various initiatives are being taken by JAKIM, state religious authorities, and several non-governmental organisations to fulfil the rights of the LGBTQ persons to receive guidance through religious programmes. Nevertheless, these good efforts, in particular, Mukhayyam programmes, have been deliberately juxtaposed with Western conversion therapy practices. This article will focus on the importance of preserving the religious rights of LGBTQ persons and the challenges faced in implementing relevant religious programmes. This article highlights the importance of rehabilitation programmes such as Mukhayyam by providing a legal and ambigous phrase of the religious rights of the LGBTQ persons. The research finds that the continuation of rehabilitation programmes such as Mukhayyam needs to be protected to ensure that the LGBTQ persons will get a proper platform to seek religious guidance.

Wounded Beauty: Aesthetic-Theological Motifs in the Work of Alberto Burri and Anselm Kiefer

In their different languages, codes of expression, practices and worldviews, art and religion share a reflexive intention to symbolize the chaos, suffering and ambivalence of the real. In particular, the aesthetic programme of Christianity has sought to combine the opposites of divine revelation attested in Scripture: chaos and cosmos, earth and heaven, betrayal and reconciliation, wounding and transfiguration, cross and resurrection, sin and forgiveness. This paper aims to explore this compositional dialectic, which over the centuries has oscillated between idealization and realism, despair and aestheticization, the ideology of pain and the mythology of redemption. In order to better understand this aesthetic religious programme in all its ambivalences and polarizations, reference will be made to two emblematic contemporary artists, Alberto Burri and Anselm Kiefer. Their aesthetic programme revolves around the memory of the suffering and wounds of history and in seeking to understand these develops a compassionate perspective on them. In their works, the artistic gesture is what saves reality from its horror and reveals a ‘wounded beauty’ that does not remove the signs of its struggle and contingency.

Exploring street graphics: Strategies and challenges for city branding in Kumasi, Ghana

Street graphics are the main feature of urban areas providing opportunities for advertising, wayfinding, visual stimulation, and other activities while adding to the quality of the urban area. Street graphics can potentially affect a city’s overall brand and appeal. Many cities are experiencing visual pollution as a by-product of unregulated street graphics. Due to its unique categorisation as a historical and commercial centre, Kumasi, the second largest city in Ghana, provided the opportunity to investigate the use of street graphics for branding. The study through a constructivist-interpretive perspective approach, utilised visual survey and philology to gather data and analyse the street’s graphic composition and establish the reasons for its presence. It became obvious through the results of the study that the clatter of the street graphics has affected the process of identifying and agreeing upon a relevant set of city brand attributes Kumasi require. The mixture of street graphics which is strongly skewed towards Funerals, Religious programs, and Herbal Medicine, suggest that Kumasi may want to be identified with that but that is not the core objective of the City of Greater Kumasi Area. Kumasi does not seem to have a clear identity, although it is home to wonderful tangible and intangible cultural heritages (the Golden Stool and the Ashanti Kingdom). Although the city has seen significant structural development and modernization without any direction for identity, the managers of the city have not sought to define the identity of the city, and the street graphics have also compounded the identity crisis. An assessment criterion was developed to compare the various street graphics on the streets with recommendations regarding the type of street graphics employed and their overall effect on the host street that can have significant impact on its branding.

Muslims’ lifeworld during the pandemic and humanistic interpretation of Religions

Some proponents of new atheism, including Dawkins, claim that religion, especially Islam, is the cause of the war because it encourages divisiveness and labeling. In this article, in the first step, I will show that Islam is not the cause of war, but rather it is a misconception of Islam that is the cause of divisiveness and eventually war. Then, I will demonstrate that the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on societies and religious behaviors somehow could, and still can, modify this misconception and blur divisions. This effect occurs in two ways: firstly, a pandemic creates common human problems for all people worldwide, making people more aware of their common points that Islam refers to as fitrah. This awareness of human beings’ common fitrah provides the grounds for presenting and accepting a humanistic interpretation of Islam. Secondly, the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on correcting Islamic beliefs is seen in epistemological explanations made possible thanks to online religious programs. Finally, I will try to apply this model to three types of religious conflict and explain why the COVID-19 pandemic can explain the decrease in the conflict in each: first, Muslims’ violence against non-Muslims; second, non-Muslims’ violence against Muslims; and third, violence within Islam, such as Shiite-Sunni conflicts. It seems that the closure of religious centers, transference of religious rituals to cyber-Islam, and the creation of global human-ethical existence have increased the amount of digital content produced in any religion and sect. Moreover, these contents have shifted towards intellectual, discursive, and epistemological topics. Finally, these contents put more emphasis on common human and ethical issues such as helping fellow human beings.

Mental health of the elderly is one of the health problems in most societies. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between spiritual well-being (SWB), resilience, and depression among the elderly. This descriptive-correlational study was conducted on 384 elderly selected by convenience-sampling method. Abbreviated Mental Test (AMT), SWB, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) were used to collect the data. Pearson correlation coefficient, analysis of variance and independent t-test were used to analyze the data. A path analysis was also run to test the direct and indirect effects of SWB and resilience on the depression variable. The results showed a statistically significant positive correlation between SWB and resilience (r=0.458, P < 0.001), a statistically significant negative correlation between SWB and depression (r=-0.471, P < 0.001) and between resilience and depression (r=-0.371, P < 0.001).
