Mass involvement of women in Islamic associations and public religious expressions has led to an unprecedented demand for women Islamic authorities. Yet, paradoxically, the global Islamic revival has also strengthened conservative norms with regard to the exposure of women's bodies and voices. In Malaysia, women Islamic popular preachers navigate, and to some extent obviate, this tension between publicity and modesty by cultivating a professional style. In the context of mass education, mass mediatization, and a public sphere saturated with techno-political language, these women combine religious guidance with knowledges and performances more commonly associated with nonreligious professions. They perceive their work and careers as an accumulation of professional skills. They work from offices as well as traditional religious institutions. And they provide specialized, often paid services ranging from conventional religious teaching and preaching to professionalized Islamic healing and media performances. The increasing salience of a professional persona in women's preaching requires an analysis that moves beyond pious exemplarity—a central concern of many anthropological studies of women's religious authority—and that recognizes the central role of professional style and associated performances in the shaping of new Muslim femininities.

危险的外表,娴熟的表演:马来西亚的女性伊斯兰传教士和职业风格

妇女大量参与伊斯兰协会和公共宗教表达导致对妇女伊斯兰当局的前所未有的需求。然而,自相矛盾的是,全球伊斯兰复兴也加强了关于暴露女性身体和声音的保守规范。在马来西亚,女性伊斯兰流行传教士通过培养专业风格来应对并在一定程度上消除这种宣传和谦虚之间的紧张关系。在大众教育、大众媒体化和充斥着技术政治语言的公共领域的背景下,这些女性将宗教指导与更常与非宗教职业相关的知识和表演结合起来。他们认为自己的工作和职业是专业技能的积累。他们在办公室和传统宗教机构工作。他们提供专业的、通常是付费的服务,从传统的宗教教学和讲道到专业的伊斯兰治疗和媒体表演。女性讲道中职业形象的日益突出需要一种超越虔诚榜样的分析——这是许多女性宗教权威人类学研究的核心关注点——并承认职业风格和相关表演在塑造新的穆斯林女性气质中的核心作用.
