This seminar is one of a series. The specific questions which the seminar series and interactive website will address include the following:
- How is the production and reception of images of Muslims governed?
- How have the roles and conventions of such representations changed since 9/11?
- What are the strengths and limitations of existing theoretical paradigms when addressing questions of representation and power?
- How might we understand oppositional modes of Muslim representation, and how is the space for such forms negotiated?
- How has the legal status of certain Muslim practices and structures been called into question, and how has this questioning been mediated?
- How has the re-entrenchment of national belonging been used to question models of multiculturalism?
