“…In 2011, the Pew Research Centre estimated that Europe's Muslim population would grow from 44.1 million in 2010 to 58.2 million in 2030. The presence of Muslims in Europe goes back to Ottoman rule, not only to recent immigration (Tottoli, 2015). According to the 2011 census in the UK, the Muslim population has grown from 1.65 million…”

Purpose This study aims to explore the perceptions of Arabian Muslim consumers about halal food products and to investigate their behaviour towards halal-labelled food products in UK mainstream supermarkets using the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). The role of Islamic religiosity and consumers’ confidence regarding the halal logo as moderating factors is investigated. Design/methodology/approach Cross-sectional data were collected through distributed 400 questionnaires in Scotland, mainly to Muslim consumers who come from different Arabian countries and are currently living in Scotland. Findings The results show that the TPB is a valid model for predicting Muslim consumers’ intention to purchase halal-labelled food products. The findings reveal that for consumers with high and low Islamic religiosity, subjective norms are the most influential determinants of their intention to purchase halal-labelled food products. Research limitations/implications Limitations include the focus on only Arabian Muslim consumers within an ethnic minority population living in Scotland, and the use of convenience and snowball sampling. Practical implications The findings could be useful for halal industry food makers to better serve their customers through sophisticated marketing strategies. Originality/value This study extends understanding of consumers’ halal-labelled food purchasing behaviour using TPB to determining the rationales for purchasing halal foods from mainstream UK supermarkets. Unlike others studies, this study used Islamic religiosity instead of self-identity (being a Muslim) as a moderating factor.

“…Concern and anxiety relating to Muslim communities in Australia and other western societies has dramatically risen since 9/11, and has not dissipated, with emerging fears and concerns surrounding the Islamic State (IS) and other militant, transnational groups who draw on Islamic sources for legitimacy (Cesari, 2010; Lister, 2014; Tottoli, 2014). Moreover, recent events such as the Sydney Siege in Australia and the Charlie Hebdo and the Paris attacks in France have exacerbated the climate of suspicion.…”

With geopolitical concerns surrounding the rise of militant, transnational groups who draw on Islamic texts for legitimacy, the place of Islam in western societies has become a source of anxiety, fear and suspicion. The central concern is whether Muslims living in the West have the capacity to become fully active citizens. This article uses quantitative and qualitative methods to examine whether Islamic religiosity is a predictor for civic engagement and active citizenship among Muslims living in Melbourne, Australia. The findings show that organized religiosity can be a strong predictor of civic engagement, countering the discourses that demonize Islam as a source of radicalization and social disengagement. While the findings show that suspicion of divisive forces and lack of trust in public institutions might prevent some young Muslims from engaging in formal political participation, grassroots civic engagement enables Muslims to demonstrate care and feel like active citizens of the Australian community without compromising core religious values.

Medievalism and Portuguese modernity in Lídia Jorge’s O dia dos prodígios

This paper examines the ways in which Portuguese writer Lídia Jorge recovers a medieval discourse to comment on Portugal’s twentieth-century history in her debut novel O dia dos prodígios (1980). It focuses not on the Middle Ages as a distinct period of European history but on the representations of the Middle Ages in post-medieval worlds, positing medievalism as an instance of Saidian orientalism. Although Jorge’s medievalizing (and orientalizing) gesture towards Portuguese modernity expresses a critical stance towards both the Salazar/Caetano regime and post-dictatorial revolutionary propaganda, this paper argues that Jorge makes a complex and multilayered use of medievalism/orientalism which contains both hegemonic and non-hegemonic, conservative and emancipatory aspects.
