Abstract	Anik Fournier onderzocht de betekenis van de islamitische sluier voor collectieve denkbeelden, met name in landen waar geen islamitische meerderheid bestaat zoals Nederland. Ze keek hiertoe naar de manier waarop het beeld van de islamitische sluier gehanteerd wordt in mediacultuur en hedendaagse kunst. Zo onderzocht ze onder meer de rol van het beeld van de sluier in de film Fitna. Fournier introduceert de term 'stedelijke sluier', waarmee ze refereert aan de plek waar representaties van de sluier en verwoordingen van de positie van moslimvrouwen in Europa en Noord-Amerika elkaar raken.
