“…The teaching of religion in state-funded denominational schools is allowed, however proselytism cannot be part of the curriculum. 32 The status of corporation under public law, on the other hand, enables religious organizations to enjoy public rights reserved for Christians and Jews. These rights include levying church taxes (Kirchensteuer) under the monitoring of regional states, establishing religious places, and being represented in public institutions and broadcast councils.…”

“…Rather, it seemed to me that they did so in ways that did not alarm the French polity in the same way that other methods did. In political science and legal scholarship on French society again, the focus of case studies were women (in articles on the veil) from the Maghreb, from the Middle East, or their origins are not identified at all, invoking a troubling assumption that there is one common practice of Islam (Adrian, 2011;May, 2016). Thus, the Tuareg sit awkwardly between two bodies of research, just as they do between two constructed geographies: sub-Saharan Africa and the Maghreb.…”

The Sound of Home: Tuareg Women’s Tendé Drumming in France and Belgium

This thesis combines anthropological and ethnomusicological theories and methods to analyze how tendé drumming evokes contested and contradictory notions of home and identity for Tuareg women. Using data obtained during fieldwork in France and Belgium, I investigate how the tendé's place-making capacities and its relationship to Tuareg women's normative social roles have been disrupted, leading to ongoing debates as to whether to replicate, adjust, or put aside tendé drumming in Europe in the face of these disruptions. In the context of radical change, it is possible to recognize the anxiety migrants face when they are forced to evaluate old ways of constructing Tuareg identity and decide if they are viable in a new place. I use the concept of imperfect translation to describe the fragmented way the practices and meanings embedded in the tendé drum are moved into a diaspora context.

The article analyzes the discursive construction of republican Islam by French parliamentarians and the representatives of the French Council of the Muslim Faith (cfcm or Conseil français du culte musulman) during the debates on headscarves and full veils. It is argued that even though both parties agreed generally on the need to promote moderate Islam that is loyal to French laws, values and principles, there were also several issues that divided these parties. The article employs the framework of analytics of government and highlights the element of negotiation and the active role of the different parties involved in the regulation of Islam.
