This project examines an emerging trend among young Shi'a Muslims in South Asia, whereby many artworks and ceremonies pertaining to the mourning period that takes place during the month of Muharram are digitized and commodified. This trend proceeds from new opportunities for, and challenges to, the global Shi'a community. These include access to small media technogies and the ability to undergo pilgrimages to Karbala following the Iraq war. Focussing on noha poetry and Ashura soundscapes, this project principally elucidates the transnational impact of their digitization on conceptions of the majlis (mourning assembly) within contemporary Shi'ism, and examines the many religious subjectivities that this entails. In so doing, it aims to inform more appropriate approaches to sectarian conflict in the Islamicate communities of the Middle East and South Asia, in which many of these digital artworks are used and consumed.

该项目考察了南亚年轻什叶派穆斯林的一种新兴趋势，即许多与穆哈兰月期间哀悼期间有关的艺术品和仪式被数字化和商品化。这一趋势源于全球什叶派社区面临的新机遇和挑战。其中包括获得小型媒体技术，以及在伊拉克战争后前往卡尔巴拉朝圣的能力。本项目聚焦于noha诗歌和阿舒拉的音景，主要阐述数字化对当代什叶派majlis（哀悼大会）概念的跨国影响，并检视由此带来的诸多宗教主体性。通过这样做，它旨在为中东和南亚伊斯兰社区的宗派冲突提供更合适的方法，在这些社区中使用和消费了许多这些数字艺术品。
