English summary: Swahili societies on the East African coast are characterized by their remarkable openness to people, ideas and goods that come from “outside”. Paola Ivanov sheds new light on how in Zanzibar external worlds become a constitutive part of oneself and of the society. German description: In Sansibar werden gerade in der weiblichen Sphare – in islamischen Gesellschaften die “innerste” Sphare – durch von auaen kommende Guter die existentiellen gesellschaftlichen Werte von Schonheit und Respekt erzeugt. Dies wird besonders in Zeremonien wie z. B. Hochzeiten deutlich. Die Autorin legt dar, wie in Sansibar auaere Welten zum Bestandteil der eigenen Person und Gesellschaft werden. Sie erlautert die asthetischen Praktiken, aus denen sich Personen, Identitaten und gesellschaftliche Beziehungen bilden. Die Studie ermoglicht so ein differenziertes Verstandnis von Prozessen der Verflechtung und Grenzuberschreitung und betont die zentrale Rolle der weiblichen Sphare in der muslimischen Gesellschaft Sansibars.
