This article examines how Islamic funeral services contribute to the production of care in Berlin. Deriving from participant observations, in-depth interviews with migrant undertakers with Turkish backgrounds, and a collection of textual and visual materials, the article focuses on the practices of migrant undertakers. Against the essentialist arguments inherent to the identity politics of the existing scholarship on migrant death in Berlin and in Germany, I analyze this case study through a critical reading of the scholarship on ethnic entrepreneurship. In this context, I illustrate three findings on the production of care, which emerge at the intersection of technologies of the self and domination à la Foucault. In the first dimension, care is given to the deceased, (particularly those with an “immigrant background” from Turkey), their bereaved families and co-migrants, visitors, and employees of various institutions in Berlin. The second dimension of care is produced, as a form of self-examination, through migrant undertakers' recollections and reflections. In the third dimension, care is the result of socio-economic policies, related to the prospect of the emergence and development of ethnic entrepreneurship.

通过柏林的伊斯兰葬礼服务照顾他人和自我

本文探讨了伊斯兰葬礼服务如何为柏林的护理生产做出贡献。本文基于参与者观察、对具有土耳其背景的移民承办者的深入访谈以及文字和视觉材料的收集，重点关注了移民承办者的实践。针对柏林和德国现有关于移民死亡的学术研究中固有的本质主义论点，我通过对民族创业奖学金的批判性解读来分析这个案例研究。在这种背景下，我阐述了关于护理生产的三个发现，这些发现出现在福柯的自我技术和统治技术的交叉点上。在第一个维度中，照顾死者（特别是那些具有土耳其“移民背景”的人）、其死者家属和共同移民、访客以及柏林各机构的雇员。关怀的第二个维度是通过移民殡葬者的回忆和反思而产生的，作为一种自我审视的形式。第三个维度，关爱是社会经济政策的结果，关系到民族创业的产生和发展前景。
