Abstract

Les travaux de l’iranisant slovéno-polonais Marijan Molé (1924-1963) ont exercé sur les sciences religieuses une profonde influence qui se laisse observer jusqu’à nos jours. En à peine quinze ans (1948-1963), il a su donner une impulsion sans précédent aux études iraniennes, grâce à l’étude minutieuse des corpus allant de l’Avesta et de la littérature moyen-perse zoroastrienne aux traités de mystique islamique, en passant par les épopées persanes et les gestes mythiques. Trop tôt interrompu, le vaste projet qu’il avait mis en œuvre dès ses années d’étude à Cracovie et qu’il poursuivit à Paris et à Téhéran avait pour axe principal la mise au jour d’un système unitaire qui sous-tendrait l’évolution d’une doctrine religieuse sur la longue durée, une « continuité iranienne ». La découverte récente de son Nachlass (IRHT et BULAC, Paris) nous fournit l’occasion de faire un état des lieux de son héritage et de tenter de mettre en lumière l’originalité de sa démarche et son apport à l’histoire des idées et au débat intellectuel sur les religions de l’Iran, en dégageant à la fois les acquis et les impasses, les innovations et les prolongements.Le présent volume rassemble les contributions sur le zoroastrisme et la mystique islamique, présentées à la journée d’étude internationale intitulée « Entre le mazdéisme et l’islam », dédiée à l’œuvre de Marijan Molé, qui s’est tenue le 24 juin 2016 à Paris.

Abstract

The Shi'i clergy are amongst the most influential political players in the Middle East. For decades, scholars and observers have tried to understand the balance of power between, Shi'i 'quietism' and 'activism'.The book is based on exclusive interviews with high-profile Shi'i clerics in order to reveal how the Shi'i clerical elite perceives its role and engages in politics today. The book focuses on three ground-breaking events in the modern Middle East: the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, the 2003 Iraq War, and the 2006 July war in Lebanon. By examining the nature and evolution of a Shi'i clerical network the book finds that, far from there being strategic differences between 'quitest' and 'activist' clerics, Shi'i mujtahid statesmen matured, from 1979 in Iran to 2003 Iraq, by way of a pragmatism which led to a strong form of transnational and associated whole in Lebanon in 2006. In doing so, the book breaks down the established, and misleading, dichotomisation of the Shi'i clergy into 'quietists' and 'activists' and discovers that the decision of Shi'i clerical elites to become politically active or to stay out of politics are attributable to their ability to adapt to their political environments.

Abstract

Since the 1979 revolution, Iran has promoted a Shi'a Islamic identity aimed at transcending ethnic and national boundaries. During the same period, Iran's Armenian community, once a prominent Christian minority in Tehran, has declined by more than eighty percent. Although the Armenian community is recognised by the constitution and granted specific privileges under Iranian law, they do not share equal rights with their Shi'i Muslim compatriots. Drawing upon interviews conducted with members of the Armenian community and using sources in both Persian and Armenian languages, this book questions whether the Islamic Republic has failed or succeeded in fostering a cohesive identity which enables non-Muslims to feel a sense of belonging in this Islamic Republic. As state identities are also often key in exacerbating ethnic conflict, this book probes into the potential cleavage points for future social conflict in Iran.
