SUMMARY:Contemporary Urban Muslim Expressions in Southeast Asia: Identity, Discourse, and Socio-Religious Struggles
LOCATION:REC A2.05
DESCRIPTION:This panel explores various urban Muslim expressions in Southea
 st Asia, with specific focuses on identity, discourse, and socio-religious 
 struggles of Muslims in the region. The panel aims to unveil contemporary e
 xpressions in the forms of thought and practice that have become attached t
 o everyday life of Muslims in the region. The panel could consist of paneli
 sts whose project schemes include research on, but not limited to, expressi
 ons of pilgrimage in Indonesia or Malaysia; the practice of prophetic medic
 ine in Indonesia; piety and identity politics in Brunei Darussalam; youth a
 nd Islamism in Singapore; Muslim gated communities in Indonesia or Malaysia
 ; or Muslim youth and pop culture in urban Thailand or the Philippines; and
  other urban Muslim expressions in Muslim-majority countries, such as Indon
 esia, Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, or even non-Muslim countries in the regi
 on. This panel is expected to discuss topics that explore the contestation 
 of Islamic ideologies, the fragmentation of the ummah, and the making of re
 ligious authority as the analytical and theoretical starting points. The pa
 nelists will examine a wide range of everyday experiences of urban Muslims.
  They will also reveal how urban Muslims’ identities and expressions impact
  local institutions, cultural practices, and religious imaginations via pol
 itics, spirituality, piety, and experience. This panel seeks to answer the 
 following questions: What is the contestation of Islamic ideologies, the fr
 agmentation of the ummah, and the making of religious authority in the cont
 emporary landscape of Southeast Asian Islam all about? What factors guide t
 he entanglement between them? How and why have notions of Islamic symbols a
 nd values been used in everyday life? By answering the above questions, thi
 s panel is also intended to respond to the broader topics: To what extent h
 as these circumstances affected the developments and dynamics of Southeast 
 Asia’s fledgling democracy? What can we learn from this to reflect the conc
 eptions, practices, and crises of the global in the wider Muslim worlds? Th
 is panel presumes that the rise of more overt expressions of Islamic piety 
 and cultural resilience after the Islamic revivalist period of the 1970s ha
 s shaped and characterized identity and religious politics of certain socia
 l groups and paved their way to involve in struggles for hegemony and power
  in, among other things, defining their own Islam. This panel will also vie
 w that the coexistence between the two sides needs to be seen in the contex
 t of an increasingly fragmented Southeast Asia’s democracy movement. This m
 eans that analyses of regional socio-political culture need to go beyond th
 e older frames of centre-periphery upon which scholars have long relied
