Гендерное измерение халяля: женское тело и родовспоможение в платных медицинских услугах для мусульман в Республике Татарстан

Using the example of the Republic of Tatarstan (Russia), this article discusses the emergence of the field of medical services for Muslims. It argues that genderisation of social interactions, in particular, of those between physicians and patients, has been one of the main principles of Muslim bioethics in the Republic. Among other measures, halal certification procedures are currently being developed by numerous religious experts in order to standardise and legitimise such genderisation. The analysis draws on data collected during multiple interviews with experts, medical professionals, Muslim patients, as well as on the qualitative study of regulatory documents. The article shows that the main feature of rules that govern certification procedures in Tatarstan today is the ongoing convergence between religious norms and biomedicine. As a particular example of medical services designed explicitly for Muslims in the Republic, the paper presents and analyses the service of “halal birth-giving”. This service combines commodification of religiosity and paid care for Muslim women, thereby heavily relying on their gender and religious identities, as well as their class status.Данная статья посвящена появлению поля медицинских услуг для мусульман на примере Республики Татарстан. В качестве одного из главных принципов мусульманской биоэтики рассматривается гендерная специфика социальных взаимодействий, в частности взаимодействий между врачами и пациентами. Одним из инструментов продвижения медицинских услуг для мусульман становится религиозная сертификация. На основе интервью сэкспертами, врачами ипациентами-мусульманами, а также анализа нормативных документов делается вывод о том, что основным свойством регламентирующих сертификацию правил является гибридизация религии и биомедицины. Как пример медицинской услуги для мусульман представлена услуга «халяльные роды», сочетающая в себе коммерциализацию религиозности и оплачиваемую заботу о пациентках-мусульманках на основе их гендерного, религиозного и классового статуса

Forum The humanities and social sciences and Covid-19:pros and cons

For the past two years, research groups and universities have been exposed to the novel and unpredictable conditions of life during the viral pandemic, and to the constantly shifting restrictions on normal academic activities that have accompanied it. In particular, personal contacts—between teachers and students and between colleagues—have to a large extent been difficult or impossible. For some, the social restrictions have been a disaster, while others have found them to be an insignificant nuisance, or even welcome. Participants of the “forum” discuss how the pandemic has affected their own (work) situation and the situation at their home institution, whether the enforced (self-)isolation has created any new types of working practices or social relations that are desirable to persist in the future, and whether the humanities and social sciences have evolved any new research questions and topics that directly derive from the pandemic, the social restrictions associated with it, and efforts to fight its effects
