"Halal as a Way of Life:Circulation and Transformation of Islamic Normativity in Muslim and Non-Muslim World"

Le 6 Septembre 2019 EHESS, Salle BS1_28

Nowadays, the Islamic market is prospering on the global scale, in particular, in Asia where the hub of its dynamism takes place in the South East-Asian countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, or Singapore. As the term Halal means originally what is “permitted” or “licit” according to the Islamic prescriptions, this notion penetrates in the consumers’ daily life, and we have observed the emergence of the wide range of the the Shariah-compliant products and services, such as food, finance, tourism, transportation, fashion, cosmetics, sport, well-being, education and so on. Halal, to be understood as one of today’s most significant Islamic normativity, orients consumers’ interpretation on “Islamic way of life.” It has also come to shape the Islamic market as the notion circulates in the globalized public sphere.

This conference is organized by the Fondation France-Japon de l’EHESS in the framework of the research project “Global Islamic Market: Asian Perspectives on the Diversity of Capitalism” funded by PSL Global Studies. It explores how the Islamic normativity interpreted and creates the normative space of Islamic market in different socities: Islam friendly or secular ones. It aims to analyze the specificity of the Islamic market based on the religious economy in the context of the global neo-liberal market.
