Globalized Arts

The Entertainment Economy and Cultural Identity

The spread of Islam around the globe has blurred the connection between a religion, a specific society, and a territory. One-third of the world’s Muslims now live as members of a minority. At the heart of this development is, on the one hand, the voluntary settlement of Muslims in Western societies and, on the other, the pervasiveness and influence of Western cultural models and social norms. The revival of Islam among Muslim populations in the last twenty years is often wrongly perceived as a backlash against westernization rather than as one of its consequences. Neofundamentalism has been gaining ground among a rootless Muslim youth—particularly among the second- and third-generation migrants in the West—and this phenomenon is feeding new forms of radicalism, ranging from support for Al Qaeda to the outright rejection of integration into Western society. In this brilliant exegesis of the movement of Islam beyond traditional borders and its unwitting westernization, Olivier Roy argues that Islamic revival, or "re-Islamization," results from the efforts of westernized Muslims to assert their identity in a non-Muslim context. A schism has emerged between mainstream Islamist movements in the Muslim world—including Hamas of Palestine and Hezbollah of Lebanon—and the uprooted militants who strive to establish an imaginary ummah, or Muslim community, not embedded in any particular society or territory. Roy provides a detailed comparison of these transnational movements, whether peaceful, like Tablighi Jama'at and the Islamic brotherhoods, or violent, like Al Qaeda. He shows how neofundamentalism acknowledges without nostalgia the loss of pristine cultures, constructing instead a universal religious identity that transcends the very notion of culture. Thus contemporary Islamic fundamentalism is not a single-note reaction against westernization but a product and an agent of the complex forces of globalization.

The Political Economy of Wasta

Use and Abuse of Social Capital Networking

The term "wasta " stems from the Arabic root for middle or medium' and describes the phenomenon of using connections to find job, government services or other favors to circumvent bureaucracy or bypass the system as a whole. The effects of "wasta " may be both positive or negative, and is not a phenomenon that is particular to the Arab or Muslim world, but also to many other cultures and regions of the world, with similar concepts popularly known as "ubuntu, guanxi, harambee, naoberschop, "or" old boy network " used in African, Chinese and European societies. By its very nature "wasta " is an area of grey or even black information, and, like corruption to which it is most often associated, is hard to assess although country corruption perception indexes attempt to provide a quantifiable basis. In the final analysis such ratings are based on "perceptions" of corruption, and this perception may vary strongly depending on different societal structures and cultural modes, whether these are extended family systems, tribal, clans or more atomized societies where relationships are essentially transactional and rule based. Ina western perspective where wasta may be considered as a form of corruption, in other societies it may be perceived as something natural and not criminal, and using one's'wasta ' in tribal societies to help clan members is seen as a duty. The difference stems from the 'innocent ' use of "'wasta' "to make introductions, as opposed to its abuse in placing unqualified persons in positions .The volume brings together academics and professional experts to examine a range of multi-faceted social, economic and political issues raised by the use and abuse of social networking, covering various topics like: "" wasta "interpersonal connections in family and business ties, ""The relationship between inequality-adjusted human development and corruption perception indexes in the Gulf region, """ wasta "and business networking, assessing the economic cost of wasta, "" wasta and its impact on quality oriented education reform and the perceptions of young people, ""The use of wasta to overcome socio-cultural barriers for women and men" The volume also offers insights into social relations and ethics, and how the use of "wasta " contradicts with common held religious principles, along with some country studies on Islamic principles and the use of" wasta ."
