title = "Beyond Islam: Tradition and the Intelligibility of Experience",
abstract = "Rasanayagam focuses on the varying ways in which Islam is invoked as important to people in Uzbekistan and argues that to explore Islam either as a bounded discursive tradition or an objectified form can be misleading. The study opens the category {\textquoteleft}Muslim{\textquoteright} to ethnographic exploration in terms of people{\textquoteright}s everyday life-worlds and pays attention to the ways that Uzbeks bring together a remarkably diverse range of ways of understanding morality, religion and the self. These are recognisable to many as distinctively {\textquoteleft}Islamic{\textquoteright} yet they are also mutually intelligible to varying others – Christians, atheists, the followers of new religions –who recognise shared forms of experience in them.",
