Autoethnographic Muslim Studies (AMS) is a post-disciplinary autobiographic exploration of the Muslim self, which draws critically on a selection of academic sub-disciplines, primarily Autoethnographic Indigenous Ethnography and Ethnographic Memoir, Muslim Studies, and Narrative Psychology. It’s political, therapeutic and organic aims are symbiotic: AMS gives preference to Muslim seekers-after-truth opposed to neoliberalism and the Imperium and who transgress the boundaries of dominant orthodoxies, offering both a healing hand, a door to further investigation, and a route to more considered political action.
Critical analysis centres around three pairs of related
concepts: Islam/Muslim; Identity/Self; and Narrative/Story. However, the
analytical genre through which these concepts are investigated is not the
academic essay, but through a multimedia scrapbook: Julaybib: The Scrapbook, the
work in progress, aims to be both a work of methodology and a piece of
anti-Imperial agitprop, exemplifying and explaining the discipline of
Autoethnographic Muslim Studies through a multimedia and multigenre online
scrapbook of informative, discursive, personal, imaginative, comic, persuasive
and opinionative writings and visuals.
