Islamiser l'alimentation

Abstract

The conversion to mass distribution of halal meat has revealed the existence of an already well-structured market. By considering the « halal» concept as a « quality» in the conventional sense, the author invites us to avoid the pitfall of « theo-logical» approaches to this market, which designate Islam as its source and attempts to show how the concomitant normative dynamics of « a diasporic, religious market» interfere and combine to produce religious products.
