En busca de autoridad. Jóvenes musulmanas y conocimiento religioso en Madrid. In Search of Authority: Young Muslim females and Religious Knowledge in Madrid
Resumen
Resumen
Este artículo analiza cómo construye su religiosidad un grupo de jóvenes musulmanas madrileñas. Se trata de un colectivo femenino interesado, entre otras cuestiones, en ampliar sus conocimientos sobre el islam. Dicho análisis se ha llevado a cabo partiendo de las tesis que defienden la existencia de una práctica islámica europea individualizada, que se aleja de las fuentes tradicionales de autoridad religiosa. Mediante las técnicas de la observación participante, la entrevista en profundidad y el estudio de datos secundarios, el trabajo de campo se ha centrado en indagar a qué fuentes acuden estas mujeres en el proceso de su formación religiosa.
Palabras clave: Individualización, Autoridad religiosa, Conocimiento islámico, Jóvenes musulmanas españolas.
In search of Authority: Young Muslims females and Religious Knowledge in Madrid
Abstract
The article discusses the way in which a group of young Spanish Muslim women in Madrid construct their religiosity. This group of women is interested in, among other matters, increasing their knowledge on Islam. The analysis has been carried out based on the theories that defend the existence of an individualized European Islamic practice, which is moving away from the
traditional sources of religious authority. Applying the social research techniques of participant observation, in-depth interview and the study of secondary data, the fieldwork has focused on the sources to which these women address themselves in the process of their religious training.
Keywords: Individualization, Religious Authority, Islamic Knowledge, young Spanish Muslim women.
