An empirical and context-oriented study of postsecular narratives on 
Islam produced by secular platforms.

This book represents one of the initial comprehensive studies of TED 
Talks on Islam. It situates TED Talks on Islam as postsecular (secular’s 
renewed interest in faith) discourse and asks how TED represents and 
narrates Islam. It also examines the perspectives of both Muslim and 
non-Muslim TED viewers about TED’s storytelling strategies as well as on 
the platform. Finally, the book studies the features of the authority 
that both Muslim and non-Muslim TED speakers embody as ‘spokespersons of 
Islam’. By doing so, this book offers an empirical and context-oriented 
understanding of postsecular storytelling by problematising the secular 
translations of Islam.
