Abstract

This essay frames Islamo-gauchisme as a moral panic and discusses how, why, and when it emerged as such in France, its relationship with critical race theory (a moral panic in the U.S.), and the broader societal implications of Islamo-gauchisme as a moral panic. More precisely, we discuss how and why Islamo-gauchisme entered the zeitgeist and why this moral panic is so dangerous. We demonstrate that this reinforces the colorblind hegemonic understanding of racism in France which allows for the entrenchment of racializing practices under the guise of progressive concepts. In what follows, we unpack the emergence and use of the term Islamo-gauchisme, and its relation to the denial of race and racism within France, the consolidation of the reactionary French republic, and why Islamo-gauchisme as a particular moral panic is so important.

摘要

本文将伊斯兰高奇主义定义为一种道德恐慌，并讨论了它如何、为何以及何时在法国出现，它与批判种族理论（美国的道德恐慌）的关系，以及伊斯兰高奇主义更广泛的社会影响道德恐慌。更准确地说，我们讨论伊斯兰高奇主义如何以及为何进入时代精神，以及为什么这种道德恐慌如此危险。我们证明，这强化了法国对种族主义的色盲霸权理解，从而允许在进步概念的幌子下巩固种族化做法。接下来，我们将解析“伊斯兰高奇主义”一词的出现和使用，及其与法国境内否认种族和种族主义、反动法兰西共和国的巩固的关系，以及为什么“伊斯兰高奇主义”作为一种特殊的道德恐慌如此严重。重要的。
