东南亚的清真市场

一因日本国内高龄化及人口减少,扩大海外销路成了日本企业当务之急的课题。许多企业尤其关注经济增长显著的亚洲市场,正在摸索中国、印度之后的下一个市场。此间,在日本熟知的东南亚,没有多少日资企业投资的清真产业已经受到了关注。所谓清真,意指以伊斯兰教信徒(穆斯林)消费者为对象的、符合穆斯林生活习惯和需求的商品,主要对食品、化妆品、衣料等实行清真认证。现在,全世界的穆斯林人口有了显著增加,今后其购买力将会加强。但是,因不太了解宗教制度等,日资企业向清真市场的扩张并没有什么进展。

TELLING MUSLIM FEMINISTS＇ STORY： FROM INTRA-RELIGIOUS DISCURSIVE SCHOLARSHIP TOWARD EXTRA-RELIGIOUS TRANSNATIONAL DIALOGUE

This essay explores the emergence of Muslim feminism and its rationale, and offers a brief overview on Muslim feminists＇ approaches to the notion of gender equality. It also navigates through Muslim feminists＇ diverse contributions to both feminist discourse and to Islamic scholarship by discursively engaging with Islamic faith and jurisprudence. Through this journey, Muslim Feminists have vigorously engaged themselves with historical methods, a strong understanding of power relations, and the cornerstone of religion -- the question of ethics -- to enrich their hermeneutical approaches to the sacred text and Islamic Canon. The abovementioned scholarly works empower Muslim feminists to engage in effective intra-religious dialogue. However, while Muslim Feminists＇ intra- religious scholarship has developed immensely in the last 30 years, their communication with transnational feminism suffers from a huge gap that needs to be filled with a mutual language. By acquiring the extra-religious mode of communication not merely founded on Islamic thoughts and methodologies, Muslim feminists will be enabled to communicate within a broader scholarly landscape. To reach out for universal and comprehensive interface among believers and non-believers, I will explore this potential for extra-religious communication by offering postmodern terminologies and themes, including deconstruction, the undercutting of a singular narrative and the infinite semantic nature of text. Such dialogue will serve as a hermeneutical tool to pave the way to diversity and openness in feminist discourse. Such openness will enable feminists from all walks of life to explore and create new possibilities that can be channelled toward a more meaningful inclusion for more marginalised feminist voices in the global arena and, ultimately, build coalitions among them to overcome sexism, racism.
