Abstract In the past five to ten years, the popularity of eyebrow beautification (as a practice and a profession) has come under close scrutiny amongst the Muslim Pakistani community in Sheffield (UK) due to the apparent incompatibility of eyebrow modification with revivalist interpretations of Islamic doctrine. In this article I consider how the seemingly insignificant act of shaping the brow incites complex discussions regarding Islamic permissibility, being a ‘good girl’ within the Pakistani community and what it means to be a ‘good person’. Analysing how such moral subjectivities are shaped by local, raced and classed articulations of femininity, the article contributes to the scholarly debates on both beauty work and young Muslim British-Pakistani women’s complex identifications.

塑造眉毛和道德自我:考虑谢菲尔德(英国)巴基斯坦穆斯林社区内的伊斯兰话语、性别和种族

摘要 在过去的五到十年中,由于眉毛修饰与伊斯兰复兴主义的复兴主义解释明显不相容,因此眉毛美化(作为一种实践和职业)的流行受到谢菲尔德(英国)穆斯林巴基斯坦社区的密切关注。教义。在这篇文章中,我考虑了塑造眉毛这一看似微不足道的行为如何引发关于伊斯兰教的允许性、在巴基斯坦社区中成为“好女孩”以及成为“好人”意味着什么的复杂讨论。这篇文章分析了这种道德主体性如何被当地的、种族的和分类的女性气质表达所塑造,有助于关于美容工作和年轻的穆斯林英国-巴基斯坦女性复杂身份的学术辩论。
