Lara Deeb provides a conceptual geography, the methodological, theoretical and positional setting for this book. She aims to unravel the complexity around how pious Shi’i Muslims understand “being modern” and how they engage with and deploy various discourses and ideas about modernness. She tries to explore the new forms of piety, especially publicly performed piety, that have taken root in the community over the past three decades, and the ways that the normativization of public piety affects people’s, especially women’s, lives.
