Place of the Mosque - Genealogies of Space, Knowledge, and Power

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.
