In this book, Moll focuses on the so-called New Preachers of Egypt<\/strong>: a group of media-savvy religious voices who gained worldwide fame via the first Islamic television channel on the eve of the Arab Spring.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

Their new way of preaching – a combination of melodrama, music and self-help – found favour with millions of young followers, but also evoked divisions: dismissed by the left as neoliberal, by secularists as creeping Islamists and by traditional clerics as too westernised.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Yasmin Moll did years of fieldwork in Cairo with the \u201cnew preachers\u201d, their producers and their followers. Her book The Revolution Within<\/em> therefore offers a different perspective on the 2011 revolution.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It shows how Islamic media and forms of public piety enabled not only a religious but also a social and political revolution from within.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The so-called \u2018inner revolution\u2019 she describes, transcends the classic opposition between secular and religious and invites a reappraisal of what public virtue, solidarity and coexistence can mean.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

This book launch is the public event of the UCSIA Summer School. For over 20 years, the UCSIA Summer School has explored the complex intertwining of religion, culture and society.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In this edition, we focus on religion and politics, inspired by contemporary geopolitical developments and critical insights from decolonial, feminist and ecological studies, among others.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The summer school provides an interdisciplinary forum for doctoral and postdoctoral researchers interested in religion, and encourages reflection on how religion can connect, divide or complement politics.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
