description | Drawing on Foucault's notion of governmentality and on ethnographic fieldwork
in a German city, this paper addresses practices of governing <q>Muslims</q> and
<q>Islam</q> at the level of local politics. It conceptualises these
practices as a <i>governing through friendship</i>, that is, a type of
<q>liberal</q> conduct-of-conduct that focuses on trust-building and
practised <q>togetherness</q>. The paper analyses techniques of
governance and processes of subjectivation, putting an emphasis on
how<i> emotionality</i> becomes integrated into governmental practices. I
show how <i>governing through friendship</i> unfolds in the
spatio-political context of a local dialogue with <q>Islam</q>, how
the latter is linked to the interfaith paradigm and thus becomes a
religiously-sensitive, post-secular political technology in which religious
sensibilities are becoming elements of governmentality. |
