CALL FOR PAPERS

Political Mobilization: Understanding Determinants and Constraints

Session Convenors: Dr Marcello Mollica ( University of Fribourg,
 Switzerland,  marcello.mollica at unifr.ch<mailto:marcello.mollica at unifr.ch>)
and Dr  Kayhan Deliba (Adnan Menderes University, Turkey,
kdelibas at adu.edu.tr<mailto:kdelibas at adu.edu.tr>)


In the post 9/11 situation, the action of Political Islamic movements
 appears to fall into two broad categories. In some countries they  engage
in political violence; in others they generally refrain from  doing so.
Turkey makes a good example of this second category for  there, unlike what
is increasingly happening in some neighbouring  Muslim countries, Islamic
movements have, so far, substantially  refrained to move to political
violence. More precisely, the case of  Turkey raises stimulating questions
that have broader significance.

Participants in this Session are asked to draw on ethnographic  evidence to
examine the various, sometimes overlapping processes,  determinants and
constraints that may explain the emergence of  religious fundamentalist
violence. The focus will be on the impact of  Islamic mobilization on
political violence, particularly but not  exclusively in the Middle East,
and on the reasons why individuals do,  or do not, engage in accepted and
legitimate political movements.

By bringing together anthropologists who specialise in various  ethnographi=
c
settings, this Session aims to develop a comparative view  of the processes
that mark the rise of extra-parliamentary  fundamentalist violence in some
Muslim countries and, possibly, how to  respond to such processes. We need
to understand the motivations and  purposes, both personal and political,
behind political violence, and  why it has become so virulent. Equally
importantly, we need to  understand the causes of, and limitations on, the
development of  political violence, as well as their acceptability within
and without  actors own communities. It is imperative that our analysis
takes fully  into account the role of socio-cultural influences in
explaining  political strategies, responses and behaviours. In the light of
 empirically-based accounts of normative accepted rules, of political
 deterrence and of the accommodating democratic structure of secular
 states, it is the ambition of this Session to develop a better
 understanding of this phenomenon, addressing the close relationship
 between religion and political and socio-cultural structure.

Paper proposals, including title and a short abstract (250 words),  should
be sent to Dr Marcello Mollica  (marcello.mollica at unifr.ch<mailto:
marcello.mollica at unifr.ch>) and  Prof. Kayhan Delibas (kdelibas at adu.edu.tr
<mailto:kdelibas at adu.edu.tr>)  by 15th June 2010.
