Thèse de doctorat
Disciplining Islamic Law: practices of Shi’i Sharia in Contemporary Lebanon, University of California, Berkeley. Dirs: S. Mahmood, W. Brown, Ch. Hirschkind, H. Agrama
Axes de recherche développés
My dissertation analyses how the Lebanese state configures Shi’i Islamic law (Shari’a) as an instrument of secular governance. It considers the ethical, political and material implications of incorporating Shi’i law into the Lebanese legal machinery to execute a distinctly modern task: governing family life. I argue that the Lebanese state can govern Shi’i families only insofar as it simultaneously transforms Shi’i Shari’a law—both by undermining its open-endedness and reconfiguring its internal possibilities.
