So very happy that a copy of the "efficacious intimacy" book has arrived and is now close to me. It contains a chapter in which I query how ingesting the Qur'an does not necessarily make it possible to talk about it. Thanks, TheJugaadProject! #anthrotwitter

A new #openaccess article just went online! It deals with the textual Qur'an's power, practices of performing Islamic authority, and #materiality as lens to investigate all of this. Thanks to my interlocutors and to the "material religion" team! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Congratulations, indeed! I absolutely loved reading "Eating in Theory" and truly enjoyed (alert! self-promotion following) writing about it some time ago in this blog post: religiousmatters.nl/about-ingestio…
