Description
Summary:In Morocco, alcohol is forbidden to Muslims, and yet many shops (bars, grocery stores...) offer these goods to consumers who are Muslims. In order to be able to sell alcohol, shopkeepers organize, on the one hand, according to their own arrangements, their space and practices to make them invisible, while customers, on the other hand, hide their purchases and uses. Thus, the self-censorship mechanisms generated by alcohol do not so much consist in abstaining from its consumption, but in hiding the visibility of its circulation and consumption. Consequently, the social apprehension of transgression is less about not respecting the ban than about not respecting this self-censorship.
