Synopsis: 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.
