An international research network exploring the representation of Muslim identities in contemporary cultural discourses.

Accumulated Wisdom on the web

Last Updated on Sunday, 08 November 2009 15:21

Patrons of and participants in the Framing Muslims may be aware of many insightful individual but scattered inputs that merit wider attention. Offering cross links would make the accumulative whole greater than the sum of such part efforts. Such initiative would add to the critical mass, intellectual weight and increase outreach value both for contributors, participants and the target audiences.

There are a number of individual initiatives that look at framing and representation that can benefit from being compiled at one place to help develop a useful bibliography which can draws attention to contribution not just in text but in audio and video and image form too.

VIDEOS DEALING WITH REPRESENTATION

In January Paul Hilder screened a 3-minute clip about the way different people perceive and portray each other and asks if people framed as ‘dissimilar’ are really different. The documentary called "Stop the Clash" is at the bottom end of this page http://www.avaaz.org/en/videosads.php

AGGREGATING RELEVANT DEBATES AND DISCUSSIONS

One link that provided a balanced round-up of what has been contributed by the opponents and proponents on an issue of interest is worth checking to explore how to preserve the critical mass generated by the accumulative input for future scholarly engagement

Participants of this forum may identify some examples that look at relevant issues in text but also in still and moving images and documentary films. Such an initiative will allow sharing a wider range of resources that is being generated in the field.
