Abstract

In this article I discuss how the pandemic state of emergency has formed a subject field in Islamic biopolitics By analysing the fatwas and official statements issued by Russian Muslim leaders between March and May 2020, I identify their discursive strategy of ‘interpret-ing’ the language of bureaucracy and medical terminology into the language of Islam, and of providing theological justification for certain governmental decisions I consider several cases which illustrate the intervention of political and medical discourses of corporality into religious discourse These include the politicisation of the regulatory functioning of the body, the sacralisation of quarantine as a special time for spiritual activities, the formatting of funer-ary ritual according to medico-administrative regulations and the comparing of victory in the Great Patriotic War to the victory over COVID-19 © The Author(s)

俄罗斯流行病期间的伊斯兰生物政治

在这篇文章中，我讨论了新冠疫情紧急状态如何在伊斯兰生物政治中形成一个主题领域。通过分析俄罗斯穆斯林领导人在2020年3月至5月期间发表的法特瓦和官方声明，我确定了他们将官僚主义和医学术语“解读”为伊斯兰语言的话语策略，以及为某些政府决定提供神学依据，我认为有几个案例说明了身体的政治和医学话语对宗教话语的干预。这些案例包括身体调节功能的政治化，隔离作为精神活动的特殊时间的神圣化，根据医疗管理法规的葬礼仪式形式以及伟大卫国战争胜利与新冠肺炎胜利的比较©作者

期刊介绍： Anthropology in Action (AIA) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing articles, commentaries, research reports, and book reviews in applied anthropology. Contributions reflect the use of anthropological training in policy- or practice-oriented work and foster the broader application of these approaches to practical problems. The journal provides a forum for debate and analysis for anthropologists working both inside and outside academia and aims to promote communication amongst practitioners, academics and students of anthropology in order to advance the cross-fertilisation of expertise and ideas. Recent themes and articles have included the anthropology of welfare, transferring anthropological skills to applied health research, design considerations in old-age living, museum-based anthropology education, cultural identities and British citizenship, feminism and anthropology, and international student and youth mobility.
