Abstract:

This Element focuses on how narrative is used to construct religious
identity in superdiverse contexts, considering specifically how people
talk about their own religious identity, and the religious identity of
others. Drawing on interviews with twenty-five participants, and
numerous site visits throughout the city of Birmingham (UK), the
analysis focuses on how self and other positioning is used to
construct religious identity in talk about beliefs, actions, and
behaviours in different contexts. Additionally, the analysis shows how
conflict emerges and is resolved in spaces where people of different
faiths and no faith interact, and how people talk about and understand
community. Finally, a model for talking about faith in diverse
contexts is presented to help people find common goals and act
together towards shared interests.
