Representations of Islam and Muslims in Film: From Stereotype to Scenescape
Representations of Islam and Muslims in Film: From Stereotype to Scenescape
Abstract
The editorial of this issue seeks to provide a rich and diverse collection of contributions on aspects of how Islam and Muslims are presented on-screen. The first section of the issue contains articles focused on particular strands of the Islamic tradition or on a specific ethnicity in the Islamic world. The second section is devoted to the wider Islamic diaspora “in the West”, a topic on which we received the largest number of proposals, likely a reflection of the longer history of academic study of this particular theme. The thematic section of this issue concludes with a contribution on a Muslim filmmaker whose work is widely admired as an example of an alternative view on the Islamic tradition.
