As part of the AIWG research group ‘Islam and Digitality’, the English-language online workshop ‘Memory in Digital Spaces’ will take place from 5 to 7 November. The group will discuss excerpts from their research on history as part of identity construction of Muslims in digital spaces, the aesthetic dimension of corresponding representations, and the role of prophetic traditions in this context.
