The Headscarf as a Business Card

A Qualitative Case Study on Styles and Expressions of Berlin Muslim Women

Juliane Kanitz

Social Science / Anthropology / General

In her book, Juliane Kanitz not only examines the frequently asked question of why Muslim women wear a headscarf, but also concentrates on how it is worn. She is concerned with the cultural, aesthetic and fashionable preferences of women and not primarily with the religious motives that are otherwise often the focus of attention. In addition to a contribution to research on the Muslim headscarf, the author presents theoretical and empirical supplements to Islamic fashion and Islam in Germany as a whole. She also discusses the debate on Europeanization, in which arguments against Muslims are put forward, and develops some perspectives on the topic of the headscarf in Germany that have not yet been taken into account, made possible by the new perspective of fashion.
The author Juliane Kanitz was born 1984, is a European Ethnologist and works for the Protestant Interdiciplinary Research Center in Heidelberg (FEST) in the project "Religion in new city quaters".
