Marokkaans mozaïek van dominantie en verzet. De hegemonie van de traditie in een islamitisch ontwikkelingsland

Samenvatting

The theory of Ernesto Laclau & Chantal Mouffe on hegemony (Hegemony and Socialist Strategy, Towards a Radical Democratic Politics, London, 1985) is adapted to Islamic Third World countries with focus on dominance & resistance in Morocco. The Moroccan tradition supports hegemonic interaction between fields of popular culture, especially maraboutism & scripturalistic Islam. In the modern nation-state, hegemony is not conceived as a repressive form of totalitarianism, but reflects a continuous exchange of interdependent interpretations & reinterpretations. The symbolic capital of zawyas (Islamic legal, educational, & social centers) & brotherhoods denies economic or political reductionism. The use of composite behavior in transitional Moroccan society reveals the existence of hegemonic structures in daily life, & Moroccans still see themselves placed in a hegemonic field confronting the king. 63 References.
