This paper draws on the ethnographic case of pious Shi'i Muslim gender activists in Lebanon in order to argue for the necessity of considering transnational discourses on gender and Islam in our analyses of piety. Based upon field research conducted inal‐Dahiya –the southern suburb of Beirut – since 1998, the paper examines pious Shi'i women's engagements with transnational discourses about gender roles and stereotypes about Muslim women. The paper excavates a Hizbullah Women's Committee seminar during which reformulated Islamic models of womanhood as well as models associated with 'the West' were discussed in relation to women's participation in the public sphere. The paper suggests that political and social contexts are critical aspects of modern formations of piety, and that scholarship should aim towards multifaceted and non‐reductive analyses that incorporate transnational discursive and political‐economic contexts into discussions of piety politics in ways that are not necessarily constitutive and that are always contextually contingent.RésuméLe présent article est consacré au cas ethnographique de féministes chiites pieuses au Liban et se veut un plaidoyer pour la prise en compte des discours transnationaux sur le sexe et l'islam dans les analyses de la piété. Sur la base de recherches sur le terrain menées àal‐Dahiya, dans la banlieue sud de Beyrouth, depuis 1998, l'auteur examine l'engagement de femmes chiites pieuses dans le discours transnational sur les rôles et stéréotypes de genre concernant les femmes musulmanes. L'analyse prend appui sur un séminaire du Comité des femmes du Hezbollah, au cours duquel des modèles islamiques reformulés de la condition féminine et des modèles associés à« l'Occident »étaient débattus en relation avec la participation des femmes aux affaires publiques. L'auteur suggère que les contextes politique et social sont cruciaux dans la formation moderne de la piété et que les études doivent tendre vers des analyses non réductrices, portant sur de multiples aspects, qui intègrent les contextes discursifs et politico‐économiques transnationaux dans la discussion de politiques de la piété, selon une approche qui ne soit pas nécessairement constitutive et toujours contextualisée.

On 20 July 2006, eight days into an Israeli air assault on Lebanon, Israeli shells hit the Khiam detention center, the notorious site where Lebanese resistance fighters and civilians had been imprisoned and tortured during the twenty-two-year (1978–2000) Israeli occupation of south Lebanon. A news article describing the destruction of the center was subtitled, "After being remade in recent years into a monument to political atrocity, the jail at Khiam now lies destroyed by Israeli strikes," and noted, "Fragments of walls, concrete held erect by stubborn rebar, point mute to the sky" (Quilty 2006).
