    • Abstract:
      Muslims have come to occupy a central role in discussions about citizenship and belonging in the UK. A cursory glance at the context surrounding this development reveals the importance of critical events in which Muslims are imbricated, and which help shape the discursive ground upon which Muslims/Islam are understood. This paper charts a number of critical events, beginning with the Rushdie Affair in 1989 through to the recent "war on terror" to consider how certain tropes emanate from these, and how through the workings of media and policy-making these gather velocity over time to pronounce themselves in an atmosphere, against and within which Muslim life should be apprehended.

    • Abstract:
      Los musulmanes han pasado a ocupar un lugar central en los debates sobre ciudadanía y pertenencia en el Reino Unido. Este artículo analiza una serie de acontecimientos críticos que les implican y contribuyen a conformar el terreno discursivo sobre los musulmanes y el Islam, desde el caso Rushdie en 1989 hasta la reciente "guerra contra el terror", para mostrar cómo dan lugar a ciertos tropos y cómo, a través de los medios de comunicación y de la formulación de políticas, éstos cobran impulso con el tiempo para pronunciarse en una atmósfera discursiva en el seno de la cual es aprehendida la vida musulmana.
