Meat as Modern Medicine in Middle-Class India
This article explores increasing meat production and consumption in India. The reasons for the popularity of meat and the ways in which meat is produced and consumed among the growing middle-class groups of India are not well understood. The central research question concerns why and how the emerging middle class is becoming overwhelmingly nonvegetarian. My findings show that health/nutrition-related beliefs inform medicinal systems entangled wit…
Hypermarketization: Standardized shopping in emerging economies
A hypermarket is a combined supermarket and department store that carries a large range of products. Since the opening of the first hypermarket in the US in the early 1930s, this concept has spread globally. Nowhere is this trend more visible than in India, now the world’s most populous country with a middle class that will expectedly grow to 800 million in 2030. This paper coins the theory of hypermarketization to explain why and how the hyperma…

Material Muslim Authority: Danish Debates about Religious Markets
The increasing visibility of halal (meat) products in non-Muslim countries, such as Denmark, highlights the central and controversial role of Muslim authority in the regulation/certification of halal products along two axes: Muslims/non-Muslims and divergent Muslim groups/organisations. Using qualitative data gathered through participant observation and interviews conducted at Muslim organisations and businesses in and around Copenhagen, I argue …
Pillepallescapes – Journeys to the edges of socially shared landscape constructions
In this paper, the construction of landscape is contoured by its negation of non-landscape, making visible a space of meaning that we call pillepallescapes. Pillepallescapes is understood, among other things, as a secondary meaning that can often lead to disputes about its relevance, thus revealing ambiguous polyvalences in the quest to unify the world. We introduce pillepall to the context of landscape studies for elements which, from certain pe…
Technoscience and globalized moral economies
This paper explores three moral economies that regulate the production and circulation of things and economic transactions: kosher (a Hebrew term meaning ‘fit’ or ‘proper’), halal (an Arabic word that literally means ‘permissible’ or ‘lawful’), and Hindu vegetarianism. Over the last three decades, these moral economies have been shaped by new forms of globalized religious technoscience, and nowhere is this process more apparent than in biotechnol…
Veg or Non-veg? From Bazaars to Hypermarkets in India
This paper reviews the literature on vegetarianism (veg) and meat-eating (non-veg) in India. My central aim is to explore how vegetarianism and meat-eating are addressed in existing research in order to identify gaps and pave the way for a new research agenda on the complex and changing relationship between vegetarianism and meat-eating at different levels - consumers, markets and regulators - in contemporary India. Why and how Hindus eat meat is…

Halal Activism
The purpose of this article is to further our understanding of contemporary Muslim consumer activism in Malaysia with a particular focus on halal (in Arabic, literally “permissible” or “lawful”) products and services. Muslim activists and organisations promote halal on a big scale in the interface zones between new forms of Islamic revivalism, the ethnicised state and Muslim consumer culture. Organisations such as the Muslim Consumers Association…
