DESCRIPTION:In this in-person talk\, Dr Ibrar Bhatt and Heng Wang explore
  the semiotic heritage of Sino-Muslim communities in China.\n\nIn this p
 resentation\, we [the speakers] delve into the intricate connections bet
 ween the literacies of religious practice\, food heritage\, and artistic
  expression within Sino-Muslim communities in China. Drawing from a comp
 rehensive data set obtained through a study of Sino-Muslim heritage lite
 racy (funded by the Leverhulme Trust)\, we examine semiotic material pre
 valent in Sino-Muslim daily life and heritage practice\, such as restaur
 ant signage\, religious practice\, and art work. Additionally\, we compl
 ement this with insights from interviews with Sino-Muslims about their h
 eritage. Our aim is to understand how signs of ‘Muslimness’ are displaye
 d and manipulated in both nuanced and diverse ways\, with respect to the
 ir ties to heritage and religion. Through a commitment to everyday herit
 age literacy\, we illustrate how Sino-Muslim heritage is expressed\, con
 structed\, and remembered through various intertwined spheres of social 
 activity.\n\n
