No full text Islam & altérité. Actes du congrès de Pluriel à Beyrouth Sous la direction de Michel Younès, Ali Mostfa et Roula Talhouk « Dans un contexte contemporain marqué par une tendance croissante à s’enfermer dans des logiques d’opposition, la réflexion sur l’altérité en islam ouvre une perspective indispensable à la compréhension de la manière dont l’autre est perçu. L’examen de ce rapport met en lumière des normes qui régissent les interactions et les cadres normatifs, souvent opérant ..
Islam de France. Enjeux et défis d’une construction normative
No full textThe third volume, presented here as an unpublished manuscript, constitutes the final part of a Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR) devoted to contemporary issues surrounding Islam in France. Entitled Islam of France: Stakes and Challenges of a Normative Framing, this dissertation adopts a critical approach to the mechanisms through which a politico-discursive norm of Islam is produced. It examines the social, legal, and discursive dynamics that contribute to the institutional shaping of the so-called “Islam of France”, in contrast with the plural and lived realities of Islam in France.L’inédit, Volume 3, constitue le troisième volet d’un travail d’Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches consacré aux enjeux contemporains de l’islam en France. Intitulé Islam de France. Enjeux et défis d’une construction normative, ce mémoire s’inscrit dans une démarche critique attentive aux mécanismes par lesquels se construit une norme politico-discursive de l’islam. Il analyse les dynamiques sociales, juridiques et langagières qui participent à la fabrication institutionnelle de l’« Islam de France », en regard des pratiques plurielles et vécues de l’islam en France
Violence and <em>Jihad</em> in Islam: From the War of Words to the Clashes of Definitions
No full textThis article explores the phenomena of violence and jihad in three parts: their emergence and trajectory in the Qur’anic text, their meanings, and their entanglement with the religious cause. The objective was to examine the interactions between violence and jihad, highlighting the variations in their usage and interpretation. Based on intensive literal interpretations of the jihad verses, radical Islamist movements have distorted their historical memory by sanctifying and reducing them to an argument of war (harb, qital) and combat, thus seeking a military solution to their political agendas. This article also aimed to address the issue of the transition of Islam from a meta-narrative of emancipation and rationality to one of violence by examining the question of war in Islam, as well as its definition and legitimisation. In this rather complex transition, we draw in some sections on Ibn Khaldun’s modelling to highlight the political component related to violence. The aim was to attempt to disentangle the threads of violence, politics, and power within the Islamic tradition. This study will allow assessment of the tension—in the context of the Qur’an—between order (islah) and disorder/injustice (fasad). The transition from one to the other implies a legitimisation of violence; its appropriateness must, therefore, be studied
The Challenges of Religious Visibility in the Liberal Public Space
No full textInternational audienceWestern modernity has engaged the religious question, over the past thirty years in processes that show an increased interaction between religiosity, visibility and urban public space. At a time when expressions, behaviours and forms of religiosity are a source of concern for politicians, jurists or security experts, the question of the visibility of Islam deserves to be debated. This research aims to articulate the community dimension and the urban public space in the context of liberal societies. Public space leads to the question of community and vice-versa, as both of them are intimately linked. This perspective provides the opportunity to analyse the nature of religious manifestations, their expressions and their reception as ‘counter-discourses’. The liberal public space being the place of individualities, the community dimension, especially the religious one, can be interpreted as a position, an action and a form of counter-power. In connection with these questions, we will also be led to examine the issue of religiosity as being shaped by processes inherent to the constitution of public space in the liberal context. A space that enshrines the individual dimension of conformity while rejecting the communitarian reality. From this conceptual framework, how does the public space contribute to the emergence of forms of religiosity and domestication of the sacred? What does it mean to be visible today? Would visibility be a means of expressing a sense of belonging to a group or an instrument of self-construction, which could be exclusively personal
