This chapter adopts an organizational educational perspective on Bildung and visibility, exploring how digital spaces enable new forms of self-expression and self-organization for Muslim women in postmigrant societies. With Foucault, we argue that looking is a powerful act that shapes social hierarchies but “looking back” constitutes a political act of subjectivation. While existing research has focused more on the individual sides of challenging visibilities, we highlight the transformative role of self-organizing migration in reshaping societal discourses. By employing Butler’s theory of performative assembling, we advocate to focus on digital assembling as a form of self-organizing and challenging (in)visibilities of Muslim women. We argue that this is a fruitful perspective for research on migration and religious minorities because considering the religious aspect helps to focus on the transnational dimension of studying the struggles for visibility and belonging among religious minorities.

摘要

This chapter adopts an organizational educational perspective on Bildung and visibility, exploring how digital spaces enable new forms of self-expression and self-organization for Muslim women in postmigrant societies. With Foucault, we argue that looking is a powerful act that shapes social hierarchies but “looking back” constitutes a political act of subjectivation. While existing research has focused more on the individual sides of challenging visibilities, we highlight the transformative role of self-organizing migration in reshaping societal discourses. By employing Butler’s theory of performative assembling, we advocate to focus on digital assembling as a form of self-organizing and challenging (in)visibilities of Muslim women. We argue that this is a fruitful perspective for research on migration and religious minorities because considering the religious aspect helps to focus on the transnational dimension of studying the struggles for visibility and belonging among religious minorities.
