Description
Résumé:Reflecting on the current spate of protests across the Middle East, this article explores four key questions about the contestation of religious identities in political projects, more commonly referred to as de-sectarianization. Engaging with definitional questions, spatial dimensions, the agency of protesters, and the aims of de-sectarianization, the article argues that a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding the contestation of religious identities in the Middle East is required in an effort to understand the (re)ordering of political life and the role of religion in these projects.
