In this dissertation, Muslim Fictions: Toward an Aesthetic of the Ordinary, I argue that the deliberate focus of South Asian Muslim Anglophone as well as vernacular authors on the quotidian, instead of extraordinary events, subverts rigid binary discourses of Muslim religiosity and secularity, which posit Muslims as ahistorical subjects operating in a vacuum. By foregrounding ordinary practices of illicit love, "modern" education, consumerism, and secular nationalism, the authors produce a discourse of engagement with the worldly. I trace these elucidations of everyday life, in order to move beyond the usual categories of 'Islamic fundamentalism', 'political Islam', 'religious subjectivity', and 'secular subjectivity', sourced for analyzing Muslim experiences. Instead, I propose the conceptual category of "worldly subjectivity" for understanding Muslims' negotiation with the secular in everyday experience. Between fundamental commitments to one's religion and worldly desires, my dissertation foregrounds those inconsistencies that lie at the heart of Muslim subject formation.
