| Description | Islamic feminism is much less discussed in Czech academic context then in foreign debates. This paper deals with the diff erent meanings of Islamic feminism and positions of feminist authors writing from this perspective. Four distinct viewpoints on possibility to combine Islam and feminism are presented: Islamic feminism, Secular feminism, Nonfeminism and Islamist feminism. Four most important discursive strategies of Islamic feminist authors are elaborated. Quest for new feminist interpretations of Quran, full participation of women in religious institutions, position of Islamic law and claim for sexual equality and respect for non-heterosexual identities are discussed. Final part is devoted to exploration of Islamic feminist discourses in interviews with Czech women converts to Islam. |
