Veiled Superheroes: Islam, Feminism, and Popular Culture (Lexington Books, 2017) by Sophia Rose Arjana (with Kim Fox), takes us on a riveting journey through the world of superheroes and villains from the streets of New York to Pakistan. The book is a creative, masterful, and fascinating analysis of female Muslim superheroes in popular comic books and animation. Through the use of global examples, such as Ms. Marvel, Burka Avenger and Bloody Nasreen, just to name a few, Arjana engages her readers beyond reductive discussions of the veil, sexuality, and gender to highlight the ever-complex ways in which female Muslim superheroes can help us engage constructively with ideas of Islamic feminism, the Muslim female body, intersectionality, and even notions of violence. With supernatural powers, such through the mystical arts (i.e., Sufism), or human qualities of courage and bravery, the Muslimah superheroes featured in this study capture the real and complex lives of Muslim women globally, and the vast negotiations they have to contend with. In doing so, Arjana masterfully highlights that there is no singular Islamic feminist (or just Muslim) female experience. This book is a must read for anyone interested in religion, popular culture, and gender studies, while its accessibly written style, makes it an excellent resource for teaching religious, media, and gender studies for undergraduate students. M. Shobhana Xavier is an Assistant Professor of Religion at Ithaca College. Her research areas are on contemporary Sufism in North America and South Asia. She is the author of Sacred Spaces and Transnational Networks in American Sufism (Bloomsbury Press, 2018) and a co-author of Contemporary Sufism: Piety, Politics, and Popular Culture (Routledge, 2018).

In this episode of Always Already, Emily, John, and B engage in a little film analysis for their first time on the show (and possibly in their lives!) Starting with the Pakistani cartoon Burka Avenger, your critical team struggles to uncover whether there is a reproduction of liberal rights discourse. Is there a colonized narrative […]

Susanne und Katrin sprechen über all die lustigen und klugen Frauen, die das Leben als Feministin auf eine sehr angenehme Art und Weise bereichern. Susanne ist Tina Fey und Amy Poehler verfallen - Katrin liebt Ellen DeGeneres und Evelyn Hamann. In Deutschland gibt es mit Anke Engelkes Ladykrachern und den tollen Frauen bei Switch sehr kluge witzige Comedy - aber warum gibt es nicht noch viel mehr? Die Humor-Domäne zu erobern ist ein wichtiges feministisches Anliegen, denn Humor ist manchmal die beste Medizin. Wenn wir über die Gesellschaft herzhaft lachen können, über die absurden Normen und Klischees, ist es leichter, nicht in Depressionen zu verfallen. Wir müssen unsere Antifeministen auslachen! (frei nach Holger Klein und Thomas Frickel) Zum Eingang der Sendung sprechen wir außerdem über Burka Avenger, die aktuellen Femen-Nachrichten und über die Sinnhaftigkeit von Männern im Erziehungsbereich.

Dette her er lyden fra en ny animasjonsserie som skaper rabalder i Pakistan. Serien Burka Avenger - som hadde premiere i helgen - handler om en lærerinne som kler seg ut i burka for ikke å bli gjenkjent som superhelt. Burkahelten sloss med gangstere for kvinners rettigheter, men kritikere mener burkaen er et symbol på kvinneundertrykking. Og første-amanuensis i Sør-Asia-studier ved universitetet i Oslo, Geir Heierstad, tegneseriehelten Burka Avenger flyr og sloss i Burka for å sikre jenter skolegang, hvorfor skaper dette debatt?
