SUMMARY:Research seminar: Nadia Kiwan (Aberdeen) and Jim Wolfreys (KCL)\,
  Islamophobia in France

DESCRIPTION:Nadia Kiwan: Decolonial approaches to laïcité as a mode to re
 -think contemporary Islamophobia This paper argues that in order to bett
 er understand how political Islamophobia functions in contemporary Frenc
 h society\, we need to examine how Islam is simultaneously constructed a
 s a ‘problem’ for laïcité as well as being its beneficiary. This contrad
 ictory configuration whereby Islam and by extension\, French Muslims are
  seen to be outside the regime of political secularism embodied by laïci
 té as well as being enabled by that same regime is premised on two domin
 ant understandings of laïcité. The first dominant conception of laïcité 
 argues that it is based on the strict separation of public and private s
 phere and that religious identity does not or should not have a politica
 l sense\; that religious faith is a private or individual matter (Roy 20
 05). A second dominant conception of laïcité argues that French politica
 l secularism\, as embodied in the 1905 law of separation between the Chu
 rch and State protects freedom of conscience\, just as much as it circum
 scribes it. However\, in both these approaches to laïcité\, there is an 
 unspoken assumption that there is some sort of anterior ‘pure’ laïc idea
 l\, which simply needs to be recovered and reinforced or in the case of 
 the second\, ‘laïcité falsifiée’ narrative (Baubérot 2014)\, needs to be
  ‘knocked back into shape’. In both cases\, the emblematic date of 1905 
 and the various articles of the separation law are seen to present the t
 emplate for rehabilitating laïcité. However\, this paper argues that a d
 ecolonial approach to laïcité is necessary to uncover how Islamophobia i
 s enabled by discourses invoking the need to uphold a political principl
 e which emerged at the height of French imperialism. A decolonial approa
 ch to the concept of secularism would fundamentally deconstruct the idea
  that laïcité is a stable\, equality-bearing framework on the one hand a
 nd that religious minorities are the “problem� on the other. Nadia Kiwan
  is Professor of French and Francophone Studies at the University of Abe
 rdeen\, UK. Her research interests focus on public discourses about post
 colonial migration\, secularism and Islam as well as decolonial and inte
 rsectional social movements. She is author of Secularism\, Islam and pub
 lic intellectuals in contemporary France (Manchester University Press 20
 19). Jim Wolfreys: The Macron presidency and the sanctification of Islam
 ophobia Emmanuel Macron’s victory over Marine Le Pen in the 2017 preside
 ntial election was heralded as a triumph of progressive European liberal
 ism over the forces of reactionary nationalism. Macron located himself a
 t the centre of ‘a new global humanist project’ and spoke out against dr
 awing up more laws to ‘hunt down’ those who wore the hijab. Government m
 inisters later denounced the ‘veil’ as something undesirable in society\
 , attacked supermarkets for fostering ‘communitarianism’ by dedicating s
 helves to halal or kosher food\, and condemned universities as hotbeds o
 f ‘Islamo-leftism’ and ‘intersectionality’ contributing to the fragmenta
 tion of society and boosting Islamist terror. This paper attempts to exp
 lain this trajectory by assessing claims that Macronism is a response to
  the inability of a neoliberal economic platform to secure a stable elec
 toral base within the confines of the left-right divide in France (Amabl
 e and Palombarini)\, that his presidency is emblematic of the era of ‘po
 st-ideological neo-liberalism’\, and that its Islamophobia is therefore 
 a function of political expediency rather than any ideological evolution
  (Traverso). To do so it locates the Islamophobic turn of the Macron pre
 sidency within the context of the reactionary radicalisation of mainstre
 am French politics\, persistent and widespread resistance to any serious
  reckoning with France’s history of slavery and colonialism\, and the ro
 le of Republican universalism in hampering efforts to develop an effecti
 ve anti-racist response to Islamophobia. Jim Wolfreys is Reader in Frenc
 h and European Politics at King’s College London. His publications inclu
 de Republic of Islamophobia: The Rise of Respectable Racism in France (H
 urst 2018) and The Politics of Racism in France\, co-authored with Peter
  Fysh (Palgrave\, 2003). To join the seminar on Teams click here.
