Boire de l'alcool, avoir des relations sexuelles extra-conjugales, fumer du Kif, mettre en scène son corps dansant, se prostituer, écrire ou chanter des textes contraires aux pratiques, avoir des relations homosexuelles…la question de la transgression est très présente dans les sociétés musulmanes d'Afrique du Nord, et interroge leurs rapports aux pouvoirs religieux et politique. Cet ouvrage s'intéresse non pas à la façon dont ces derniers façonnent les sociétés, mais à la manière dont une partie du corps social s'arrange avec le Coran et le système politique. Il décrit comment certains groupes se constituent contre les autorités religieuses et/ou politiques, sans néanmoins les affronter directement, sans les remettre en question, ni rendre publique leurs comportements et leurs actions. Il permet ainsi de mettre en lumière l'indicible et de présenter ces sociétés sous un jour nouveau, en décrivant les mécanismes de prises de distance par rapport aux normes et de construction d'univers sociaux originaux, grâce à la mise en place de stratégies et de modes d'actions partagés, telles que la non monstration des actes transgressifs ou l'utilisation d'espaces spécifiques. Cet ouvrage vise donc à aborder la dynamique des sociétés musulmanes d'Afrique du Nord en privilégiant leurs dysfonctionnements pour mieux comprendre leur fonctionnement. Il permet de remettre en cause l'image de sociétés « soumises », véhiculée par le sens commun et par certains médias occidentaux. Philippe Chaudat est anthropologue et maître de conférences à l'Université Paris-Descartes Sorbonne.

In the 1980s, America was gripped by widespread panics about Satanic cults. Conspiracy theories abounded about groups who were allegedly abusing children in day-care centers, impregnating girls for infant sacrifice, brainwashing adults, and even controlling the highest levels of government. As historian of religions David Frankfurter listened to these sinister theories, it occurred to him how strikingly similar they were to those that swept parts of the early Christian world, early modern Europe, and postcolonial Africa. He began to investigate the social and psychological patterns that give rise to these myths. Thus was born Evil Incarnate, a riveting analysis of the mythology of evilconspiracy. The first work to provide an in-depth analysis of the topic, the book uses anthropology, the history of religion, sociology, and psychoanalytic theory, to answer the questions "What causes people collectively to envision evil and seek to exterminate it?" and "Why does the representation of evil recur in such typical patterns?" Frankfurter guides the reader through such diverse subjects as witch-hunting, the origins of demonology, cannibalism, and the rumors of Jewish ritual murder, demonstrating how societies have long expanded upon their fears of such atrocities to address a collective anxiety. Thus, he maintains, panics over modern-day infant sacrifice are really not so different from rumors about early Christians engaging in infant feasts during the second and third centuries in Rome. In Evil Incarnate, Frankfurter deepens historical awareness that stories of Satanic atrocities are both inventions of the mind and perennial phenomena, not authentic criminal events. True evil, as he so artfully demonstrates, is not something organized and corrupting, but rather a social construction that inspires people to brutal acts in the name of moral order.
