本文以英国最大的巴基斯坦穆斯林社区之一伯明翰的年轻英籍巴基斯坦穆斯林女性为研究对象，考察她们对城市空间的叙事。这些叙事阐释了性别、穆斯林、公共空间性的表现，我用这个术语来指代身体和领土的空间实践和个人地理。我探索了横跨南亚穆斯林社会和以世俗自由民主价值观编码的公共领域的日常生活世界如何配置年轻的巴基斯坦穆斯林女性的空间范围、做法和个人地理。我确定了这些在地点、种族、性别和宗教的交叉点上被赋予形式的意识形态、物质和情感方式。最后，我举例说明了伯明翰地区充满活力的多种族、多文化环境如何为年轻的巴基斯坦穆斯林妇女提供重塑自我、促进文化变革以及更大的包容性和归属感的替代剧目。在这样做的过程中，我突出了英国南亚穆斯林文化的流动性和动态特征，质疑它们的表现是固定的和有限的

These narratives illuminate the performance of gendered, Muslim, public spatialities, a term I use to refer to the spatial practices and personal geographies of the body and territory. I explore the ways in which the everyday life world that cuts across South Asian Muslim society and a public realm encoded with secular liberal democratic values configures the spatial ranges, practices, and personal geographies of youthful Pakistani Muslim women. I identify the ideological, material, and affective modalities through which these are given form at the intersection of place, ‘race’, gender, and religion. Finally, I illustrate the ways in which the dynamic multiethnic, multicultural milieu of Birmingham's ‘Little Pakistan’ localities offer youthful Pakistani Muslim women alternative repertoires for remaking the self, promoting cultural change and a greater sense of inclusiveness and belonging In doing so I foreground the fluidity and dynamic character of British South Asian Muslim cultures, contesting their representations as fixed and bounded
