Copts and the Security State combines political, anthropological, and social history to analyze the practices of the Egyptian state and the political acts of the Egyptian Coptic minority. Laure Guirguis considers how the state, through its subjugation of Coptic citizens, reproduces a political order based on religious identity and difference. The leadership of the Coptic Church, in turn, has taken more political stances, thus foreclosing opportunities for secularization or common ground. In each instance, the underlying logics of authoritarianism and sectarianism articulate a fear of the Other, and, as Guirguis argues, are ultimately put to use to justify the expanding Egyptian security state. In outlining the development of the security state, Guirguis focuses on state discourses and practices, with particular emphasis on the period of Hosni Mubarak's rule, and shows the transformation of the Orthodox Coptic Church under the leadership of Pope Chenouda III. She also considers what could be done to counter the growing tensions and violence in Egypt. The 2011 Egyptian uprising constitutes the most radical recent attempt to subvert the predominant order. Still, the revolutionary discourses and practices have not yet brought forward a new system to counter the sectarian rhetoric, and the ongoing counter-revolution continues to repress political dissent.

En 2007, Alain Roussillon nous quittait, à seulement 55 ans, au Caire, laissant derrière lui une oeuvre sociologique et politique d’une rare profondeur. Français et égyptien, chercheur critique familier de ces deux univers intellectuels, Alain Roussillon a engagé la réflexion sur des sujets variés, de la dialectique « Occident-Orient » à la question féminine, de la formation des sciences sociales dans le monde arabe à l’« Égypte politique » d’Anouar al-Sadate et de Hosni Moubarak. Attentif aux contextes de production des savoirs dans le monde arabe, il s’attacha à situer les acteurs dans leurs filiations historiques et leurs champs d’interaction. En rassemblant quelques-uns de ses textes majeurs, Laure Guirguis et Hamit Bozarslan rappellent la place qui fut la sienne dans les études sur les sociétés arabes et soulignent l’actualité de nombreuses pistes de recherche qu’il poursuivit avec ténacité.
