ABSTRACT

This chapter analyses how transnationally active propagators of religious messages transform the construction of legal practice in rural Morocco. It explores the diffusion of moral and religious messages connected to the expansion of neoliberal economic concepts by either supporting them or rejecting their impact. The chapter discusses the economic relations of the Souss region, the regulation of access to natural resources, and the socio-legal framing of local modes of resource exploitation. At the theoretical level, the chapter considers the phenomenon by bridging the gap between the local and transnational readings of the religious embedding. The current process of reinforcing the religious-normative framework for the rural economy is regarded as a form of reformatting. The process described in the chapter thus suggests an anthropological analysis of the consequences of transnational and competitive interventionism for the revitalization of a moralizing local religion which, in particular, normatively frames local strategies of resource exploitation and modes of production.
