Funded Activity Summary

Deliberation and publicness in Indonesia's regional Islamic spheres. New Islamic public spheres are emerging around the world, raising questions about their capacity to facilitate democratic outcomes. This project aims to establish whether and to what extent Indonesia's Islamic public spheres facilitate deliberation. Recognising that most of Indonesia's 210 million Muslims engage with Islam by listening rather than reading, it will study the forms in which preachers perceive Islamic publics from the pulpit. It will also compare the ways in which print media and oratory provide coverage of ongoing ethical and moral contests in Indonesian society. The project aims to establish how pious listening facilitates deliberation, and will create knowledge about democratic futures in Islamic Indonesia.
