土耳其跨国面纱时尚产业的兴起是在新自由主义经济结构调整、面纱服从新法规以及伊斯兰身份在世界范围内的复兴的背景下发生的。即使在“面纱时尚”首次出现在t台近20年后，“面纱时尚”的概念仍然备受争议，受到世俗和虔诚穆斯林社会群体的批评。分析面纱时尚在经济、政治和文化领域的影响，有助于我们对伊斯兰教在当今全球舞台上的角色有一个新的认识。面纱时尚体现了一系列关于伊斯兰身份的问题，生产者和消费者之间的跨国联系，以及伊斯兰伦理与新自由主义资本主义之间不断变化的界限。在本文中，我们的主要论点是，围绕面纱时尚的争议和实践显示了伊斯兰演员如何适应和改变新自由主义资本主义，同时他们在复杂的地缘政治地形中导航，伊斯兰教-以及标志性的穆斯林，戴头巾的妇女-被塑造成具有威胁性的“他者”。因此，作为一种跨国现象，面纱时尚的兴起将女性和女性的身体置于政治辩论和斗争的中心，这些辩论和斗争围绕着今天的“现代”和穆斯林意味着什么。基于对生产者、消费者和销售人员的访谈，以及对报纸文章、目录和网站的分析，本文追溯了面纱时尚的跨国生产、销售和消费如何影响地缘政治、地缘经济和主体形成的秩序空间。
The rise of the transnational veiling-fashion industry in Turkey has taken place within the context of neoliberal economic restructuring, the subjection of the veil to new regulations, and the resurgence of Islamic identities worldwide. Even after almost two decades since its first catwalk appearance, the idea of ‘veiling-fashion’ continues to be controversial, drawing criticism from secular and devout Muslim segments of society alike. Analysing veiling-fashion as it plays out across economic, political and cultural fields is to enter into a new understanding of the role of Islam in the global arena today. Veiling-fashion crystallises a series of issues about Islamic identity, the transnational linkages of both producers and consumers, and the shifting boundaries between Islamic ethics and the imperatives of neoliberal capitalism. In this paper, our overarching argument is that controversies and practices surrounding veiling-fashion show how Islamic actors are adapting and transforming neoliberal capitalism at the same time as they navigate a complex geopolitical terrain in which Islam ‐ and the iconic Muslim, headscarf-wearing woman ‐ has been cast as a threatening ‘Other’. Thus the rise of veiling-fashion as a transnational phenomenon positions women and women’s bodies at the centre of political debates and struggles surrounding what it means to be ‘modern’ and Muslim today. Based on interviews with producers, consumers and salesclerks, and our analysis of newspaper articles, catalogues and web sites, this article traces out how the transnational production, sale and consumption of veiling-fashion works to order spaces of geopolitics, geo-economics and subject formation.
