SUMMARY:Ambiguity and its “Enemies” in Southeast Asian Islamic Societies (1)
LOCATION:Room 3.07
DESCRIPTION:As recent work in the history of Islam has shown, Muslims have 
 dealt and lived with ambiguity in various, often remarkable ways, in their 
 religious lives (Ahmed 2016; Bauer 2021). These works show how Muslims ofte
 n associate competing meanings with one and the same term, act, or object, 
 draw on contrary discourses, and accept different interpretations of a phen
 omenon, all of which are entitled to equal validity. This panel seeks to ex
 pand this research interest to contemporary Southeast Asian Islamic societi
 es. It explores how ambiguity – in its varied manifestations in Islamic rit
 uals, Islamic law, ethics, and everyday practice – is not a thing of the pa
 st subdued by modernity, but a central component of and concern in Islamic 
 life in the region that is often unrecognized and undertheorized. The panel
  invites papers that discuss phenomena of ambiguity in Southeast Asian Isla
 mic societies today, whether publicly prominent or less salient. It seeks t
 o understand how, where and by whom ambiguity is generated today, made sens
 e of, and the responses it evokes. The panel is particularly interested in 
 research that examines actors who encourage or defend ambiguity in open or 
 subtle ways, and those who want to curb its myriad potentials and annihilat
 e it, the latter assuming the role of “the enemies” of ambiguity. Consideri
 ng ambiguity to be inseparable from more fixed and undisputed aspects of Is
 lam and Muslim lives, the panel aims to contribute to a more nuanced analys
 is of Islamic societies in Southeast Asia that may get lost if the scholarl
 y focus is mainly directed towards contemporary demands for and forms of (a
 lleged) coherence and certainty.
