Abstract

Après les différents attentats survenus en France en 2015, au-delà des réactions officielles convenues ou des réactions sincères de certains groupes sociaux et individus, on a pu constater dans l’opinion turque – du sommet de l’État aux milieux les plus modestes – comme une tolérance, si ce n’est une forme de compréhension, vis-à-vis des motivations supposées des auteurs de ceux-ci. Certaines convergences étranges d’un extrême à l’autre du spectre idéologique, dans la réception de ces événements, traduisent des affinités à la fois dans les modes de représentation de la situation contemporaine et les modes de positionnement face à celle-ci. Ce dossier analyse les réactions turques aux attentats commis en France en 2015 contre Charlie Hebdo et l’Hyper Cacher les 7 et 8 janvier et le 13 novembre à St Denis et dans les 10e et 11e arrondissements de Paris à travers une analyse de la presse et de Twitter. L'objectif est d’identifier en priorité la gamme des réactions les plus dissonantes, de voir quels groupes sociaux et quels terreaux elles touchent, de déceler sur quelles argumentations elles reposent et comment elles peuvent circuler entre la Turquie et les communautés turques et/ou musulmanes d’Europe, et les djihadistes.

Abstract

Suicide terrorism in its modern form appeared in the 1980s. The first organization to use this strategy was the Shi'ite Hizbollah in Lebanon. Later, it was adopted by many terrorist organizations in the Middle East and Asia. This new study shows how there are at least two reasons to question the central role that is assigned to religion and more specifically Islam when explaining suicide terrorism. First, suicide terrorism is a modern phenomenon, yet Islam is a very old religion. Except for two periods in the 12th and 18th centuries, suicide was never part of Islamist beliefs and behaviors. Actually, Islam clearly forbids suicide. Hence, the argument that Islamic religious beliefs are the main cause of suicide terrorism is inherently dubious. Second, many suicide attacks have been carried out by secular organizations with little connection to fundamentalist Islam: Palestinian Fatah, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Kurdish Workers Party. Moreover, one of the organizations that has employed this strategy devastatingly and regularly is the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam). Not only are members of this organization not Muslim, most of them are not religious at all. This superb book contains essays by some of the world's leading scholars of terrorism and political violence. It is essential reading for students of terrorism, political science and Middle Eastern politics, and useful to students of social psychology, theology and history.

Abstract

For Art Spiegelman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Maus, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 were both highly personal and intensely political. In the Shadow of No Towers, his first new book of comics since the groundbreaking Maus, is an account of the events and aftermath of that tragic day. Spiegelman and his family bore witness to the attacks in their lower Manhattan neighborhood: his teenage daughter had started school directly below the towers days earlier, and they had lived in the area for years. But the horrors they survived that morning were only the beginning for Spiegelman, as his anguish was quickly displaced by fury at the U.S. government, which shamelessly co-opted the events for its own preconceived agenda. He responded in the way he knows best. In an oversized, two-page-spread format that echoes the scale of the earliest newspaper comics (which Spiegelman says brought him solace after the attacks), he relates his experience of the national tragedy in drawings and text that convey - with his singular artistry and his characteristic provocation, outrage, and wit - the unfathomable enormity of the event itself, the obvious and insidious effects it had on his life, and the extraordinary, often hidden changes that have been enacted in the name of post-9/11 national security and that have begun to undermine the very foundation of American democracy.

Abstract

Drawing on trauma theory, genre theory, political theory, and theories of postmodernity, space, and temporality, "Literature After 9/11", suggests ways that these often distinct discourses can be recombined and set into dialogue with one another as it explores 9/11's effects on literature and literature's attempts to convey 9/11.

Abstract

Les attentats du 11 septembre 2001 placent, de façon tragique, les relations ethniques et les rapports sociaux de domination au cœur de la réflexion publique. Cet événement constitue-t-il un moment de rupture radicale, le début d’une ère nouvelle ? Ou, au contraire, ne confirme-t-il pas ce qui était déjà latent ? Les questions qui sont abordées dans ce recueil touchent aussi bien aux jugements trop rapides des médias et de l’opinion publique sur le lien entre ethnie et terrorisme qu’aux lois adoptées à la hâte et aux dangers qui en découlent. Comment évaluer les nouvelles frontières qui se sont dressées sous la couverture d’une nouvelle sécurité nationale ? Le 11 septembre 2001 entraîne des répercussions qu’il ne faut plus ignorer.
