Abstract

La méthode critique et historique adoptée par Sadiq Jalâl al-Azm touche aux divers domaines et révèle son souci de traiter n’importe quel fait en vertu des exigences de l’esprit scientifique. Ne visant pas uniquement et arbitrairement la déconstruction des idéologies religieuses et politiques, il conçoit une société arabe affranchies des contraintes aveugles exercées par l’autorité politique et religieuse, une société fondée sur des bases laïques et socialistes.

Abstract

The visible increase in religious practice among young European-born Muslims has provoked public anxiety. New government regulations seek not only to restrict Islamic practices within the public sphere, but also to shape Muslims', and especially women's, personal conduct. Pious Practice and Secular Constraints chronicles the everyday ethical struggles of women active in orthodox and socially conservative Islamic revival circles as they are torn between their quest for a pious lifestyle and their aspirations to counter negative representations of Muslims within the mainstream society. Jeanette S. Jouili conducted fieldwork in France and Germany to investigate how pious Muslim women grapple with religious expression: for example, when to wear a headscarf, where to pray throughout the day, and how to maintain modest interactions between men and women. Her analysis stresses the various ethical dilemmas the women confronted in negotiating these religious duties within a secular public sphere. In conversation with Islamic and Western thinkers, Jouili teases out the important ethical-political implications of these struggles, ultimately arguing that Muslim moral agency, surprisingly reinvigorated rather than hampered by the increasingly hostile climate in Europe, encourages us to think about the contribution of non-secular civic virtues for shaping a pluralist Europe.

Abstract

Le voile intégral porté par un certain nombre de femmes musulmanes a fait l'objet en 2010 d'une loi d'interdiction générale, à l'issue d'un débat qui a impliqué les plus hautes institutions de la République et mobilisé l'attention de nombreux citoyens. Le cas peut paraître très particulier et d'une portée limitée, mais il est cependant très révélateur. L'ouvrage part de l'analyse de la discussion qu'il a provoquée. Sa dissection minutieuse fait ressortir la contradiction entre la logique des juristes et la logique politique du législateur, une contradiction lourde de conséquences pour la vie collective. Bien au-delà du cas de la burqua, c'est l'ensemble des problèmes soulevés par le multiculturalisme et plus profondément encore par l'idéal du cosmopolitisme qui reçoit un puissant éclairage. Comment accorder les principes de droit et les exigences politiques du vivre-ensemble ?
