SUMMARY:Islam and Capitalism in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia
LOCATION:Room 1.204
DESCRIPTION:Since the 1980s, capitalist processes in Asia have been occurri
 ng which are characterized by entanglements of spiritual economies, neolibe
 ral piety and economic modernization. Malaysia has placed itself into the c
 enter of these dynamics in the 2000s by, as a “halal hub,” setting worldwid
 e standards for different economic spheres according to syariah law (halal 
 economy). With so called Islamic Tourism, halal cosmetic and fashion produc
 ts and particularly with a halal-certification system, Malaysia has complem
 ented the “spiritual center of Islam” – Mecca and Medina – with an economic
  Islamic center. Initiatives and corporate bodies in Singapore and Indonesi
 a follow these dynamics: Singapore’s strategic location serves as a signifi
 cant factor for the potential growth of its halal industry and Indonesia wi
 th the largest Muslim population in the world has, in turn, the largest pot
 ential for halal consumption. This panel invites presentations that deal wi
 th the rising Islamic economies in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia and it
 s complex negotiation processes between religious and economic spheres. On 
 an empirical level it can be analyzed how production and consumption of hal
 al products are related to one another; how social actors consume these pro
 ducts and how the halal industry influences mobility as well as concepts an
 d practices of gender, class, religion and ethnicity. On a theoretical leve
 l, papers can address interlinkages between the evolvement of spiritual eco
 nomies and nation state building; transformations in understandings of “hal
 al” and “haram” or the role of morality and spirituality as part of these p
 rocesses.
