  • Normalisation of Islam in Bulgaria and the Role of Intellectuals
    Islam on Тrial: Normalisation of Islam in Bulgaria and the role of intellectuals by Madlen Ivanova Nikolova Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisors: Professor Alexandra Kowalski Professor Jean-Louis Fabiani CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2016 Abstract The purpose of the thesis is to analyse the symbolic violence intellectuals exert in constructing politically effective representations of Islam in Bulgaria. This is done through the close investigation of expert witnesses’ discourse in a recent trial against thirteen Muslims from Bulgaria, who were accused and convicted of propagating a “foreign” and “political-ideological” Islam against the “democratic-liberal order.” The expert witnesses opposed this “political” and “foreign” Islam to “traditional” and “everyday” Islam. I argue that this discursive strategy could be read as normalisation in Foucauldian terms. In contrast to Foucault’s understanding of normalisation and the role of psychiatric expertise within the juridical field, what is normalised in the case of the trial I studied are not individual pathologies, but forms of (“everyday”) Islam that are compatible with the current post-political liberal regime. I also consider intellectuals’ conflicting relationships to the trial by taking into account their positioning within the field of power. CEU eTD Collection I Acknowledgements I would like to extend my gratitude to Professor Alexandra Kowalski for the thought- provoking conversations, constructive critique and support throughout the year. Professor Jean-Louis Fabiani’s classes helped me develop a more nuanced account of the dynamics within the academic field.

    Annex No.3 to Art. 14, para. 1 of ORDINANCE No. 22 from 14.12.2015 for the application of Sub- measure 19.2 “Application of Activities Within the Frameworks of the Community-Lead Local Development Strategies” of Measure 19 “Community-Lead Local Development”(CLLD) of the 2014-2020 Rural Area Development Programme (RADP). (Altered by State Gazette # 38 from 2016, valid from 20.05.2016) CLLD STRATEGY OF GOTSE DELCHEV – GARMEN – HADZHIDIMOVO LOCAL INITIATIVE GROUP Introduction During the 2007-2013 period, for the first time ever, Bulgaria managed to effectively utilize the LEADER method as a tool for decentralized management and integrated local development in rural areas. For the purpose, 35 local initiative groups, comprising 57 rural municipalities and 6 local fishing groups spanning across the territories of 17 municipalities have been established in the years prior 2013 and are still functioning. During the 2009-2011 period, we have performed activities with the purpose of preparing potential local initiative groups for implementing strategies for local development. Additionally, these activities are responsible for teaching skills and ensuring activities can happen on a communal level across the territories of potential local initiative groups under the Rural Area Development Programme. The LEADER method in Europe dates back to 1991. Since then it has been developed as a separate initiative in the EU member-states until 2007 (“Leader I” during the 1991-1993 period, “Leader II” during the 1994-1999 period and “Leader+” during the 2000-2006 period) and as for the 2007-2013 Programme Period, the initiative has been included as a part of the Programmes for Rural Area Development (PRAD) of member-states.
