Abstract

As markets for kosher food have expanded globally in recent decades, multiple rabbinical authorities and kosher certification bodies have emerged to protect – and project – the boundaries of what is permissible for Jewish consumers. In this paper, we explore how, as kosher food has become more widely available in supermarkets and global food businesses, there has been a concurrent growth in demand within some Jewish communities for kosher goods produced in line with ever more strictly observed Jewish dietary laws (kashrus). Drawing on research on kosher markets and consumption practice in Manchester in the North of England, UK, we interrogate the multiple kosher ontologies enacted in markets, and the wider effects of this multiplicity on consumption practice(s). We conclude with some theoretical reflections on the ontological politics of qualification in markets.

犹太食品的本体论政治:在严格的正统和全球市场之间

近几十年来，随着犹太洁食市场在全球范围内的扩张，多个拉比当局和犹太洁食认证机构已经出现，以保护和规划犹太消费者允许的界限。在本文中，我们探讨了随着犹太食品在超市和全球食品企业中越来越广泛的使用，在一些犹太社区中，对按照严格遵守的犹太饮食法(kashrus)生产的犹太食品的需求如何同时增长。根据对英国英格兰北部曼彻斯特犹太洁食市场和消费实践的研究，我们询问了市场中制定的多种犹太洁食本体论，以及这种多样性对消费实践的更广泛影响。最后，我们对市场中资格的本体论政治进行了一些理论反思。

期刊介绍： Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space is a pluralist and heterodox journal of economic research, principally concerned with questions of urban and regional restructuring, globalization, inequality, and uneven development. International in outlook and interdisciplinary in spirit, the journal is positioned at the forefront of theoretical and methodological innovation, welcoming substantive and empirical contributions that probe and problematize significant issues of economic, social, and political concern, especially where these advance new approaches. The horizons of Economy and Space are wide, but themes of recurrent concern for the journal include: global production and consumption networks; urban policy and politics; race, gender, and class; economies of technology, information and knowledge; money, banking, and finance; migration and mobility; resource production and distribution; and land, housing, labor, and commodity markets. To these ends, Economy and Space values a diverse array of theories, methods, and approaches, especially where these engage with research traditions, evolving debates, and new directions in urban and regional studies, in human geography, and in allied fields such as socioeconomics and the various traditions of political economy.
