| Popis: | This dissertation examines political consumerism using a social movement theory approach. It investigates the origins of Islamic consumer campaigns aimed at changing Muslim consumer behaviour, and integrating them into European societies. It draws upon the ‘framing perspective’ within social movement theory to analyse how Islamic campaigners promote the values of environmentalism, animal welfare, and fair trade in the UK, Germany, and Egypt. This dissertation argues that Muslim minorities in Europe frame a conventionally secular moral concern as a religious duty in order to connect Islam to contemporary consumption values. In the Muslim majority country of Egypt, these same consumption values are promoted based on secular ethics rather than religion. Based on the analysis of in-depth semi-structured interviews and campaign documents, posters, websites, events, and conferences, this dissertation demonstrates how the overall goal of these framing processes is to align Muslim consumer behaviour with ethical consumer campaigns in order to assimilate Muslims in Europe without undermining the guiding role of religion. It also aims at integrating Muslims into European culture by highlighting Islam’s potential as a catalyst for positive behaviour. |
