The New Religiosity in Iran

Farhad Khosrokhavar

École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, 54 boulevard Raspail, 75006 Paris, France, farhad.cavard{at}ehess.fr

Secularization theory frequently focuses on politics or social issues in relation to religion, but daily life and, in particular, leisure play a major role in the secularization process. The author focuses on the religious feelings of young men and women in Iran, particularly in Qom, a holy city with a strong traditionalist background. The post-revolutionary generation is developing new attitudes towards religious commandments, especially in relation to leisure, and more specifically, music.

Key Words: individualized Islam • leisure • ``Los Angelesi'' music • music • new religious subjectivity • secularization • Shi'ite Islam
