The Place of the Mosque probes a host of discursive formations—spaces of public assembly and social interaction, quotidian practices, disputed sites, and biopolitics—while critiquing their peculiar anomalies. It goes beyond architectural criticism to emphasize the interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary study of place and space.
The Place of the Mosque: Genealogies of Space, Knowledge, and Power extends Foucault’s analysis Of Other Spaces and the “ideological conflicts which underlie the controversies of our day [that] take place between pious descendants of time and tenacious inhabitants of space.” The book uses this framework to illuminate how mosques have been threatened in the past, from the Cordóba Mosque in the eighth century to the development of Moorish aesthetics in nineteenth-century United States to the clashes surrounding the building of mosques in the West in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Foucault’s genealogy allows us to elaborate and study the subjects that are caught in the emergence of a battle—the social and political will to power, the networks of power and the rituals of power—in the interstitial space which define the subjects and clears a space ruling both the body and space. In going beyond individual buildings to broader geographical and genealogical dimensions of the power struggles, The Place of the Mosque reconciles the public space experience, governmentality, and micro powers, paving the way for a new philosophical language. Expanding architectural and urban regional approaches, Kahera shows the biopolitical significance of the problem of space.
