The Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies is a unique international and interdisciplinary research environment that hosts area studies as well as comparative disciplines such as the study of religions, minority studies and comparative culture studies.The project “Pious Practices among Danish Muslims. Diversity, Devotion and Aesthetics” (funded by the Danish Research Council in 2024-2026) investigates performative activities among Danish Muslims which is a landscape of rich devotional traditions with roots in many cultures.We are now looking for a post-doc researcher to study the emerging scenes for Islamic art in Scandinavia. It will identify where interaction takes place when the art world intersects with Muslim piety and follow the reception and reactions in the Muslim communities – and back to the artists’ studios. These artworks often combine visual arts, music, literature and performance and the scene can be performance stages, art galleries, literary forums as well as social media but even more so websites that are part of the artistic work and in interactive dialogue with its audience. Rather than geographical limitations, emphasis is expected to be put on transnational contacts and events. The researcher is expected to carry out an independent research project under supervision and as a result publish two academic articles that analyse aesthetic considerations and the pious reflection behind the artwork, including its use of Islamic resources. The documentation can hopefully result in a small digital exhibition.Qualification requirements
