Abstract

Abstract Much has been said in recent years about Muslims in Europe. Most debates focus on controversies to do with Islam. Less is written about the creative contributions of pious Muslims to culture and society. This paper examines creative contributions of pious Muslims in Stuttgart, Germany. Over the past half century, Muslims have become creative urban contributors, cultural producers and stakeholders. Analysing exemplary artistic and creative contexts (mosque design, a creative cake-making, modest Islamic fashion), this paper explores artistic work and creative contributions of pious Muslims in Stuttgart. I illustrate how Muslims participate in urban cultural contexts and ingeniously remake urban spaces, materials culture and the broader cultural landscape. I argue that pious Muslims are relevant creative urban cultural producers. Theoretically, this paper situates religion in the realm of urban art and creativity, and inserts instances of faith-based/inspired creative expressions into debates about urban vernacular creative activities and universes.
富有创造性:伊斯兰、艺术和创造力在德国斯图加特
摘要近年来,关于欧洲的穆斯林有很多说法。大多数辩论都集中在与伊斯兰教有关的争议上。关于虔诚的穆斯林对文化和社会的创造性贡献,写得很少。本文考察了虔诚的穆斯林在德国斯图加特的创造性贡献。在过去的半个世纪里,穆斯林已经成为富有创造力的城市贡献者、文化生产者和利益相关者。本文分析了典型的艺术和创作背景(清真寺设计、创意蛋糕制作、朴素的伊斯兰时尚),探讨了斯图加特虔诚穆斯林的艺术作品和创作贡献。我展示了穆斯林如何参与城市文化语境,巧妙地重塑城市空间、物质文化和更广阔的文化景观。我认为虔诚的穆斯林是相关的创造性城市文化生产者。从理论上讲,本文将宗教置于城市艺术和创造力的领域,并将基于信仰/灵感的创造性表达实例插入到关于城市白话创作活动和宇宙的辩论中。
