talking back: junge Muslim*innen in Deutschland im Kontext eines (konstruierten) Bedrohungsszenarios

Abstract

People marked and racialised as Muslims are often portrayed as danger-ous subjects because of the – sometimes supposedly – attributed cultur-al, religious, or ethnic affiliations. At the same time, their own experienc-es of racism go largely unnoticed. In addition, they face difficulties in ad-dressing these experiences. On the basis of four interviews with young Muslim adults, I examined different possibilities of response and speech of young Muslims in the context of a (constructed) threat scenario. Stu-art Hall’s and Judith Butler's reflections on the concept of interpellation form the theoretical framework. Based on analytic categories according to bell hooks, I conceptualised different forms of talking back. This ap-proach allows the perception of the interview partner’s subject positions and their agency and, at the same time, the consideration of their situat-edness and conditionality within the security dispositive.
