520 |a Drawing on an ethnography among Quebecois and French female new Muslims, I consider how converts epitomize and embody the "encounter" between Muslim and western societies. By choosing Islam, converts position themselves on the margins, giving them a unique perspective on the "West." My participants' reflexive narratives hinge on continuity/disruption dialectics that dissolve the commonly held dichotomy between Sameness and Otherness. In analyzing these narratives, I view subjectivity as a rhetorical construction and elaborate upon converts' daily intimate encounters and dialogues with Otherness in social spaces. In light of Simmel's figure of the Stranger based on distance and proximity, I show that converts' experiences echo the "pacific coexistence" that Muslim and European populations have experienced historically. I argue that narratives are crucial to understanding how Islam-as a political and symbolic language of Otherness-can help frame and profile emergent western subjects and identities.
