Abstract

Les trente dernieres annees ont vu l'effondrement de l'URSS, la dislocation de l'ex-Yougoslavie en plein coeur de l'Europe et de nombreux conflits plus eloignes de nous ont eclate sur differents continents. Ils temoignent non de la fin de l'Histoire, comme l'imaginaient certains comme Fukuyama, mais au contraire de l'acceleration de l'histoire. En ce tournant de millenaire, dans un monde globalise, caracterise par la decouverte de nouvelles technologies et par l'avenement de l'ere des reseaux, soumettant ainsi la planete a un flux rapide d'informations, on a vu apparaitre de nouvelles formes de guerres dans lesquelles la representation des conflits a change de nature. La communication etant aujourd'hui ouverte a tout un chacun, elle rend plus complexe la reception et l'interpretation des evenements historiques par les citoyens. L'approche pluridisciplinaire de ce livre a permis de rassembler chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales, psychanalystes, philosophes, artistes qui, dans des essais ou des etudes plus scientifiques, tentent d'analyser les differents moyens de representation des guerres et des conflits (medias, litterature, cinema, BD, arts) et evoquent aussi leur impact sur les peuples. Ce theme est de plus en plus actuel car ces conflits se rapprochent dangereusement de nous, comme l'ont montre les recents attentats contre le journal satirique 'Charlie Hebdo' en plein Paris ou dans d'autres grandes metropoles du monde. Les quatre parties du livre nous entrainent de la Tchetchenie a l'Irak, de l'Afghanistan aux pays africains, en passant par Israel et la Palestine et proposent d'aborder les rapports entre guerre et ideologie, guerre et technologie, guerre, ethique et affect ainsi que, dans une quatrieme partie, guerre esthetique (dans le sens premier du terme, c'est-a-dire de ce qui releve de la science du sensible).

Abstract

As Islamist terrorism has ravaged the contemporary Middle East and led to sporadic attacks in Europe and the United States, countless journalists, pundits, and politicians have turned their attention to the question of what motivates those who commit violence in the name of political beliefs. Terrorism is not solely the preserve of Islam, however, nor is it a new phenomenon. It emerges from social processes and conditions common to societies throughout modern history, and the story of its origins spans centuries, encompassing numerous radical and revolutionary movements. Marc Sageman is a forensic psychiatrist and government counterterrorism consultant whose bestselling books Understanding Terror Networks and Leaderless Jihad provide a detailed, damning corrective to commonplace yet simplistic notions of Islamist terrorism. In his comprehensive new book Turning to Political Violence, he examines the history and theory of political violence. Sageman excavates primary sources surrounding key instances of modern political violence, looking for patterns across a range of case studies spanning the French Revolution, through late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century revolutionaries and anarchists in Russia and the United States, to the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and the start of World War I. In contrast to one-dimensional portraits of terrorist "monsters" offered by governments and media throughout history, these accounts offer complex and intricate portraits of individuals engaged in struggles with identity, injustice, and revenge who may be empowered by a sense of love and self-sacrifice. Arguing against easy assumptions that attribute terrorism to extremist ideology, and counter to mainstream academic explanations such as rational actor theory, Sageman develops a theoretical model based on the concept of social identity. His analysis keys on the complex dynamic between the state and disaffected citizens that leads some to disillusionment and moral outrage, and a few to mass murder. Sageman's account offers a paradigm-shifting perspective on terrorism that yields stark new implications for the ways liberal democracies can and should confront political violence
