Abstract This introduction offers a general framework to this Special Section which aims to unpack the ambivalences of cosmopolitanism in the Gulf region. It argues that cosmopolitanism is a heuristic concept for the critical analysis of extreme urban diversity in non-Western, non-democratic contexts. Indeed, it acts as a tool for exploring the tensions between logics of exclusion –– underlined by policies that maintain foreign residents outside of the citizenry –– and logics of integration, triggered partly by the competition among global cities to attract talents. While this introduction outlines the many theoretical debates surrounding the notion of cosmopolitanism, the five articles adopt an empirically-grounded approach to display new interdisciplinary perspectives on cosmopolitanism in Gulf societies, based on two overarching observations. First, they deconstruct state narratives of cosmopolitanism as a normative political discourse, with its lexicon of tolerance, diversity and coexistence. Second, they advocate for an understanding of cosmopolitanism built upon the study of individual representations, trajectories, and practices rather than as an ideal of coexistence and openness to the other.
本引言为本专题提供了一个总体框架,旨在揭示海湾地区世界主义的矛盾心理。它认为,世界主义是对非西方、非民主背景下极端城市多样性进行批判性分析的启发式概念。事实上,它可以作为一种工具,探索排斥逻辑和融合逻辑之间的紧张关系。排斥逻辑和融合逻辑之间的紧张关系,在一定程度上是由全球城市之间吸引人才的竞争引发的。排斥逻辑和融合逻辑的突出表现是将外国居民排除在公民之外的政策。虽然这篇引言概述了围绕世界主义概念的许多理论辩论,但这五篇文章采用了一种基于经验的方法,以两个总体观察为基础,展示了海湾社会世界主义的新的跨学科视角。首先,他们解构了世界主义作为一种规范的政治话语的国家叙事,其词汇是宽容、多样性和共存。其次,他们主张对世界主义的理解建立在对个人表现、轨迹和实践的研究之上,而不是作为一种共存和向他人开放的理想。

Abstract Traditionally, there have been internalized cultural values regarding family cohesion in the Arab region. However, as a result of modernization, rapid economic growth, and social transition, divorce rates have risen gradually over the past few years. This paper examines societal attitudes toward divorce predictors and the legislative response in Qatar, which has involved considerable initiatives to strengthen family cohesion. It highlights the various individual differences which lead to marital dissatisfaction and, ultimately, to divorce. The study uses original data from the sample of a 2019 national survey. In light of the legislation that aims to prevent the dissolution of marriage, the results suggest that sociodemographic patterns significantly contribute to divorce predictors. The study calls for urgent governmental responses in establishing premarital intervention as means to consider the changing impact of marital interactions and to mitigate the incidence of divorce in the Arab gulf.
传统上,阿拉伯地区有内化的关于家庭凝聚力的文化价值观。然而,由于现代化、经济快速增长和社会转型,离婚率在过去几年中逐渐上升。本文考察了社会对离婚预测因素的态度和卡塔尔的立法反应,这涉及到加强家庭凝聚力的相当大的举措。它强调了导致婚姻不满并最终导致离婚的各种个体差异。该研究使用了2019年全国调查样本的原始数据。鉴于旨在防止婚姻破裂的立法,研究结果表明,社会人口模式对离婚预测因素有重大影响。这项研究呼吁政府采取紧急措施,将婚前干预作为一种手段,考虑到婚姻互动不断变化的影响,并减少阿拉伯海湾地区的离婚率。

Cyber-Christianity in Qatar: “Migrant” and “Expat” Theologies of COVID-19 卡塔尔的网络基督教:COVID-19的“移民”和“外籍”神学

Abstract In the year 2020, COVID-19 wreaked havoc on everyday life in the Persian Gulf. Yet little is known about how non-citizens responded to a virus that inexorably exposed their transience and precarity. This article addresses a much-neglected aspect of local responses to COVID-19, namely, how non-citizens made sense of the virus theologically. Drawing on existing scholarship on cyber religion and migrant religiosity in the Gulf, I examine the theological responses of a distinctive subset of non-citizens –– Pentecostal-Charismatic Christians in Qatar. My approach, rooted in digital ethnographic methods, led me to uncover divergent theological responses to COVID-19 among lower-income “migrants” and higher-income “expats”. Lower-income “migrants” sought spiritual remedies to counter what they deemed to be a man-made virus, whereas higher-income “expats” strove for spiritual perfection during what they believed was a divine trial. Working through these divergent theological responses, I argue that both “migrants” and “expats” built stronger affinities to their host state during the pandemic as they developed new forms of spiritual communitas online.
2020年,新冠肺炎疫情给波斯湾地区的日常生活造成了严重破坏。然而,对于非公民如何应对这种无情地暴露了他们的短暂性和不稳定性的病毒,人们知之甚少。本文讨论了当地应对COVID-19的一个被忽视的方面,即非公民如何从神学上理解病毒。利用现有的关于海湾地区网络宗教和移民宗教的学术研究,我研究了非公民的一个独特子集的神学反应——卡塔尔的五旬节派灵恩派基督徒。我的方法植根于数字人种学方法,使我发现了低收入“移民”和高收入“外籍人士”对COVID-19的不同神学反应。低收入的“移民”寻求精神疗法来对抗他们认为的人造病毒,而高收入的“外国人”则在他们认为是神圣考验的过程中努力追求精神上的完美。通过研究这些不同的神学反应,我认为,在疫情期间,“移民”和“外籍人士”都与东道国建立了更强的亲和关系,因为他们在网上建立了新的精神社区形式。

Governing Diversity, Realizing Authenticity: Kuwait’s National Preference in a Broader Gulf Perspective 治理多样性,实现真实性:从更广阔的海湾视角看科威特的民族偏好
Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-07-03 DOI: 10.1080/21534764.2021.2193910

Abstract Most of the Gulf states where foreigners make up the majority of the population value positively the diversity of their societies. Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates publicly celebrate this diversity as a new form of cosmopolitanism. However, in Kuwait the official narrative, shaped partially by public figures’ statements in the Parliament, represents the country’s demographic composition and the presence of a wide diversity of foreign communities as impeding its social harmony and economic prosperity. This article builds on Michael Herb’s work on identifying the source of the Kuwaiti idiosyncrasy in the system of political participation that gives nationals voice and precedence, and seeks to understand Kuwait’s peculiar discursive governance of diversity. It contends that the official Kuwaiti understanding of authenticity has led to a political culture that emphasizes exclusiveness and cultural nationalism. In the UAE and other countries, on the contrary, this authenticity is staged and endowed with self-Orientalizing overtones so that it works, in the official discourse, as a pre-condition for a new kind of consumerist universalism based on cultural pluralism. The article first presents the different discursive approaches to diversity in the four Gulf states with a majority of foreigners. It then compares Kuwait and the UAE, examining how the Kuwaiti political system enabled the issue of naturalisations –– embodied by the handling of the bidūn files –– to be constructed as a public issue, and posits that this played a significant role in Kuwait’s tenacious emphasis on exclusion and authenticity.
大多数外国人占人口多数的海湾国家都积极地重视其社会的多样性。巴林、卡塔尔和阿拉伯联合酋长国公开庆祝这种多样性,认为这是世界主义的一种新形式。然而,在科威特,部分由公众人物在议会的发言所构成的官方叙述认为,该国的人口构成和广泛多样的外国社区的存在阻碍了其社会和谐和经济繁荣。本文建立在迈克尔·赫伯(Michael Herb)的工作基础上,该工作旨在确定科威特在赋予国民发言权和优先权的政治参与体系中的特质来源,并试图理解科威特对多样性的独特话语治理。它认为,科威特官方对真实性的理解导致了一种强调排他性和文化民族主义的政治文化。相反,在阿联酋和其他国家,这种真实性被赋予了自我东方化的色彩,因此,在官方话语中,它作为一种基于文化多元主义的新型消费主义普遍主义的先决条件。本文首先介绍了以外国人为主体的四个海湾国家对多样性的不同论述方法。然后,它比较了科威特和阿联酋,研究了科威特的政治制度如何使入籍问题(体现在bidūn文件的处理上)成为一个公共问题,并假设这在科威特坚持强调排斥性和真实性方面发挥了重要作用。

The Prophet Muḥammad’s Ring:Raw Materials, Status, and Gender in Early Islam 先知Muḥammad的戒指:早期伊斯兰教的原材料、地位和性别
Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-07-03 DOI: 10.1080/21534764.2021.2007569

Abstract The goal of this article is to illuminate the medieval legal discussion of the Prophet Muḥammad’s ring as an object of multiple meanings: personal adornment and fashion on one hand and religious, ruling status symbol on the other hand. The article will focus on the descriptions of Muḥammad’s ring in two complementary aspects; materially, meaning the ring itself, and symbolically, meaning the message. The Prophet Muḥammad’s signet is an example of a well-known commodity that was singularized, became unique and sacred, hence, its subjective power and value was strengthened. The Prophet’s ring lost its value as commodity and became unique to the Prophet and his believers, a declarative public representation of the connection between the divine power and his earthly messenger. It became a manifestation of the Prophet’s exclusiveness and prestige, and it serves as a means to identify him and his unique status.
本文的目的是阐明中世纪关于先知Muḥammad戒指的法律讨论作为一个多重意义的对象:一方面是个人装饰和时尚,另一方面是宗教,统治地位的象征。本文将着重从两个互补的方面描述Muḥammad的环;物质上,指的是戒指本身,象征上,指的是信息。先知Muḥammad的图章是一个众所周知的商品的例子,它被单一性化,变得独特和神圣,因此,它的主观力量和价值得到了加强。先知的戒指失去了作为商品的价值,成为先知和他的信徒的独特之物,是神圣力量和他的人间使者之间联系的一种宣示性的公共代表。它成为先知的排他性和威望的体现,它作为一种手段来识别他和他的独特地位。

Questioning Cosmopolitanism through the Biographical Trajectories of French Residents of Abu Dhabi and Dubai 通过阿布扎比和迪拜法国居民的传记轨迹质疑世界主义

Abstract Owing to their diverse populations and particular social configurations, the United Arab Emirates offer a unique urban context in which to question the notion of cosmopolitanism and its daily manifestations, since the main cities of the Emirates maximize occasions for intercultural interaction while maintaining major economic divisions and social hierarchies in most parts of daily life. While national and ethnic categories in the Emirates are often presented in the literature as being rigid, this paper argues that a biographical approach allows for a finer analysis of cosmopolitan situations. The French residents of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, relatively privileged migrants, position themselves along a wide spectrum of places and activities, raising different social and urban issues. Based on 26 months of participant observation in Abu Dhabi and Dubai and 12 in-depth interviews with French residents of the UAE, this paper shows that their forms of sociability, social practices, and international mobility work together to shape diverse and sometimes paradoxical forms of openness to national, ethnic, or social “others”.
由于其多样化的人口和特殊的社会结构,阿拉伯联合酋长国提供了一个独特的城市环境,质疑世界主义的概念及其日常表现,因为阿联酋的主要城市最大限度地增加了跨文化互动的机会,同时在日常生活的大部分地区保持了主要的经济分工和社会等级。虽然阿联酋的国家和种族类别在文献中经常被认为是严格的,但本文认为,传记方法可以更好地分析世界性的情况。阿布扎比和迪拜的法国居民是相对享有特权的移民,他们将自己定位在广泛的地方和活动中,提出了不同的社会和城市问题。基于在阿布扎比和迪拜26个月的参与性观察,以及对阿联酋法国居民的12次深度访谈,本文表明,他们的社交形式、社会实践和国际流动性共同作用,形成了对国家、种族或社会“他人”的多样化、有时是矛盾的开放形式。

Land Use Dynamics and Mobility Patterns in Muscat Capital Area:Insights from a Detailed Study of Al-Ghubra North 马斯喀特首都地区土地利用动态和流动模式:来自Al-Ghubra北部详细研究的见解
Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-01-02 DOI: 10.1080/21534764.2021.1930640

Abstract Muscat, the capital of the Sultanate of Oman, has been developed since the 1970s with typical characteristics such as high urbanization rate, low-density urban sprawl, and private car based mobility. Land-use patterns favour the separation of functions, creating long distances for daily trips and a high traffic volume. State investments went into developing and improving the road network while the public transport has been neglected for a long time. In light of depleting resources and the recent decline of oil revenues, however, a first rethinking of transport policies and land use planning has set in. Diversifying the economy has become a major aim and efforts are made to encourage the private sector and to attract foreign direct investment. With regard to urban development, these policies are reflected in increasing changes in land use patterns. The paper analyses ongoing land use changes in al-Ghubra North, a multifunctional neighbourhood in Muscat, and discusses how far these forms of land use change contribute to a more sustainable urban structure and more sustainable mobility patterns.
阿曼苏丹国首都马斯喀特自20世纪70年代以来发展迅速,具有城市化率高、城市扩张密度低、私家车出行为主等特点。土地使用模式有利于功能的分离,创造了长距离的日常旅行和高交通量。国家投资用于发展和改善道路网络,而公共交通却长期被忽视。然而,鉴于资源的枯竭和最近石油收入的下降,人们开始首次重新考虑运输政策和土地使用规划。使经济多样化已成为一个主要目标,并作出努力鼓励私营部门和吸引外国直接投资。关于城市发展,这些政策反映在土地使用模式的日益变化上。本文分析了马斯喀特多功能社区al-Ghubra North的持续土地利用变化,并讨论了这些形式的土地利用变化对更可持续的城市结构和更可持续的交通模式的贡献。

The Blockade Against Qatar: A Blessing in Disguise? 对卡塔尔的封锁:因祸得福?

Abstract On 5 June 2017, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt cut diplomatic ties with the State of Qatar and initiated a blockade against the country. In this study, we provide the first in-depth examination of the impact the blockade had on Qatar’s economy and review the policy responses that followed. In particular, we consider how the policies that have since emerged either complemented or deviated from past policies and practices and evaluate whether they have in fact brought long-term benefits to the country –– benefits that may have not been realized had the blockade not taken place. Our review finds that the blockade did not cause a shift in policy direction, but it did change the urgency and process by which policies were put together and pushed forward, as well as their effectiveness. Furthermore, we find that the timing of the blockade worked in Qatar’s favor in surprising ways. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to provide both a meticulous documentation of the policy responses that followed the blockade and an in-depth analysis of its impact.
2017年6月5日,阿联酋、巴林、沙特阿拉伯和埃及宣布与卡塔尔国断交,并对该国实施封锁。在这项研究中,我们首次深入研究了封锁对卡塔尔经济的影响,并回顾了随后的政策反应。特别是,我们考虑自那时以来出现的政策是如何补充或偏离过去的政策和做法的,并评估它们是否实际上为该国带来了长期利益——如果没有封锁,这些利益可能无法实现。我们的审查发现,封锁并没有导致政策方向的转变,但它确实改变了政策制定和推进的紧迫性和过程,以及它们的有效性。此外,我们发现封锁的时机以令人惊讶的方式对卡塔尔有利。据我们所知,这是第一个对封锁后的政策反应提供详细文件和深入分析其影响的研究。

In particular, we consider how the policies that have since emerged either complemented or deviated from past policies and practices and evaluate whether they have in fact brought long-term benefits to the country –– benefits that may have not been realized had the blockade not taken place. Our review finds that the blockade did not cause a shift in policy direction, but it did change the urgency and process by which policies were put together and pushed forward, as well as their effectiveness. Furthermore, we find that the timing of the blockade worked in Qatar’s favor in surprising ways.

Abstract This study uses the concept of enregisterment to trace the development and construction of the Badawī dialect in Harūb, Jāzān, Saudi Arabia. The analysis shows that the salient linguistic feature ch used in Harūb has become enregistered with Badu identity in terms of ideologies of linguistic differentiation. This paper is an ethnographic study that explores the meaning of Badu which has been localized to the Jāzān region. The historical and social processes of isolation, modernization and marginalization have given rise to discursive practices of naming and drawing boundaries around ways of speaking in Jāzān. Finally, this paper highlights the ideological nature of language and calls for more studies in Arabic linguistics to consider the “total linguistic fact”.
摘要本研究运用登记学的概念,对沙特阿拉伯Harūb、Jāzān地区badawh方言的发展与建构进行了追溯。分析表明,从语言分化的意识形态上看,《Harūb》所使用的显著语言特征已经与八都身份相结合。本文是一项民族志研究,探讨了已定位于Jāzān地区的八都的意义。孤立、现代化和边缘化的历史和社会进程产生了Jāzān中围绕说话方式命名和划定界限的话语实践。最后,本文强调了语言的意识形态本质,呼吁更多的阿拉伯语语言学研究考虑“整体语言事实”。
