Finnish Journal of Ethnicity and Migration Vol. 3 No. 2/ 2008

The articles and reports of this special issue inevitably reveal that the issue of FGC is far from being emptied out by research- ers or "solved" by activists and professionals aiming at stop- ping the practice. On the contrary, more studies are needed on topics such as the definition and terminology of FGC; medical- ization and commercialization of the practice; women's agency, knowledge and power in relation to FGC; female body, includ- ing different kinds of bodily markings, modifications and muti- lations, constructed and lived in social, cultural and political worlds; FGC and re-creation of identities in exile; the inter- connectedness of male and female circumcision particularly among Muslim populations; and current Islamic discourses and impacts on the practice of FGC in different parts of the world. In particular, an operation referred to as sunna needs to be stud- ied further-what kind of an operation does it mean in different contexts and what kind of consequences may a possible transfer to sunna have for the continued practice of FGC?
