چکیده | ||
While the politics of violence in Islamic fundamentalism has caught many eyes and hearts, there has been a void in the analysis of its populist dimension. A possible insightful outlook might be concentrating on a connection between ‘the rises of reactionary mass movements’ and ‘the effects of theories and practices of modernization’. What connections does radical religious populism have with experiences of modernization? The paper hypothesizes that the evolution of fundamentalist ideology and movement can be narrated as the unfolding of constant, triangular interaction among ‘collective trauma resulting from community dislocation’, ‘mythical meaning-making, and ‘mobilizing populism’. Built on a combinative framework extracted from Arendt`s conception of mass society and Cassirer as well as Barthes`s conceptualizations of mythical thinking, the paper tracks down the interconnection of ‘discontents of modernity’, the rise of ‘mythical political worldviews’, and ‘politics as a mission for community-building’. In this vein, the paper highlights the relation between the mythical reduction of sharia, the fantasy of ‘the pure society’, and the constructive function of sacred violence in Islamic fundamentalism, focusing on radical Salafism. Lastly, within a comparative framework, the paper argues that politics of violence in Islamic fundamentalism as religious populism is less derived from Islam than a ‘specific narrative of truth’ (in mythical political worldview) that can also be viewed in other modern ideologies such as fascism and communism; a narrative which has a considerable connection with ‘discontents of modernity’. | ||
