Employing content analysis of national newspaper discourse,
we examine how meaning was constructed around halal hamburgers
by the media to frame the boundaries of food legitimacy.
Three frames were constructed, each of which were connected to a
larger national political context. We find evidence of a frame
contest whereby media actors constructed multiple frames which
we refer to as the republican ideal, the free market, and cultural
diversity. In this frame contest, the republican ideal frame receives
the most support. From this perspective, to eatdand to offer on the
Quick menudhalal meat goes against the republic for many, a
threat to the very notion of French citizenship. DeSoucey’s concept
of gastronationalism allows us to explore the socially constructed
process of food power on the transnational stage. We show that by
linking halal hamburgers to long-held notions of French identity,
media frames engaged in a form of gastronationalism at the subnational
level aligning boundaries around both French identity
and food, and in this way challenging who gets to claim French
citizenship.
