Abstract

In this article, I explore how Islam is configured in two creative universes that have recently affected the cultural and political scene in Norway. I compare the enactment in Oslo (2019) of Disgraced by the American playwright Ayad Akhtar to parts of the artistic project Heisann Montebello (2015–2017) by the Norwegian rap duo Karpe. In both fictional universes, references to Islam, Muslims, xenophobia, racism, terror, and politics of integration are paramount. It is therefore significant that major cultural institutions in Norway such as The National Theater, the music hall Oslo Spektrum, the National Library, and the Norwegian Broadcasting Network (NRK) stage these works. Overall, my main argument is that both productions speak to wider audiences in a multireligious and multiethnic setting, demonstrating that Muslims and different configurations of Islam have become an integrated part of Norwegian cultural life.

挪威当代艺术中的伊斯兰形态
在这篇文章中,我探讨了伊斯兰教是如何在两个创造性的宇宙中被配置的,这两个宇宙最近影响了挪威的文化和政治场景。我将美国剧作家阿亚德·阿赫塔尔(Ayad Akhtar)在奥斯陆(2019年)上演的《耻辱》(dis耻辱)与挪威说唱二人组卡普(Karpe)的艺术项目Heisann Montebello(2015-2017年)的部分内容进行了比较。在这两个虚构的世界中,对伊斯兰教、穆斯林、仇外心理、种族主义、恐怖主义和融合政治的提及是最重要的。因此,挪威的主要文化机构,如国家剧院、音乐厅奥斯陆光谱、国家图书馆和挪威广播网(NRK)将这些作品搬上舞台是非常重要的。总的来说,我的主要论点是,这两部作品都是在多宗教和多民族的背景下面向更广泛的观众,表明穆斯林和伊斯兰教的不同形态已经成为挪威文化生活的一个组成部分。

期刊介绍: The peer-reviewed Journal of Religion in Europe (JRE) provides a forum for multi-disciplinary research into the complex dynamics of religious discourses and practices in Europe, both historically and contemporary. The Journal’s underlying idea is that religion in Europe is characterized by a variety of pluralisms. There is a pluralism of religious communities that actively engage with one another; there exists a pluralism of societal systems, such as nation, law, politics, economy, science, and art, all of them interacting with religious systems; finally, in a pluralism of scholarly discourses religious studies, legal studies, history, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, and psychology are addressing the religious dynamics involved.
