Bila, Andrea. "The voices of Islam? Muslim Organisations and the State in Britain and France." Thesis, Paris 3, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA030111.
Full textSuccessive British and French governments have encouraged the formation of bodies claiming to speak for Muslims since the early 1990s. However, nearly two decades after the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) was created in 1997, the issue of Muslim representation is still pending. In France, the trajectory of the government-backed the Conseil français du culte musulman (CFCM) created in 2003 is parallel in some respects: weakened by the members’ infighting, it finally failed to achieve organisational unity.In my dissertation, I draw parallels between the two cases and consider the reasons which led to the decline of these national ‘representative’ bodies. Using government reports, official statements, press articles and personal accounts of the individuals involved in their inception, I argue that they played a significant role in the early stages of Muslim mobilisation. However, once their legitimacy and ability to cater for Muslim communities in the new post-9/11 context was called into question, the national councils gave way to new types of Muslim political mobilisation.As a result, a multitude of “progressive” Muslim organisations focusing on social cohesion, interfaith outreach, civic participation and social welfare emerged. By shifting their objectives from accommodating the needs of the Muslim communities to social cohesion as a whole, these new local actors not only help build new Muslim identities but also strive to transform the image of Muslims from an inward-looking community to outward-looking dynamic citizens
Benaissa, Hicham. "Islam et capitalisme : sociologie des entrepreneurs musulmans en France." Thesis, Paris Sciences et Lettres (ComUE), 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018PSLEP018.
Full textUnder the authority of Max Weber’s work, a broad social science literature has long held that Islam, within Muslim societies, had not fostered the emergence of the spirit of modern capitalism. In the same way that Max Weber has correlated, in part, the appearance of modern capitalism in the West with the ascetic behaviour of the Protestant Calvinist, Islam would be symmetrically the cause of this non-event in Muslim-majority societies. It is a hypothesis whose strength of demonstration has helped to establish the general theoretical framework by which religious phenomena continue to be understood in the modern world. However, it is a framework that resists the understanding of these vast emigration-immigration movements coming from traditional societies, mainly Muslim, towards European societies, highly differentiated and structured by the capitalist model. Indeed, are we not entitled to assume that, starting from this migratory event with its multifaceted impacts in the societies of departure (emigration) and arrival (immigration), Islam, in its unity and diversity, as long as it “deterritorializes” itself, tears itself away from its historical cultural traditions in order to evolve within a new economic and social landscape, necessarily creates new forms of cultural diversity? Thus, it is no longer a question of opposing systems in their theoretical principles, but of taking an interest in their practical relations. To understand this, we conducted a quantitative and qualitative study of Muslim entrepreneurs based in the Ile de France region. We show that capitalism is a lifestyle whose logic must be hastily internalized; a process favoured according to the economic, social, cultural and symbolic conditions in which it takes place. We also show that being Muslim often means receiving a political identity, collectively constructed and defined by the political and historical configuration within which that identity is embedded. Finally, we follow the historical thread that leads from the Islam of emigrant immigrants to the constitution of a French Islam. A process leading to a gradual reinterpretation of the religious principles and content of Islam from a new and heterogeneous social and cultural landscape
Telhine, Mohammed. "L'islam et les musulmans en France : une histoire de Mosquées." Paris, EHESS, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008EHES0101.
Full textWhen trying to understand the history of Islam in France, the mosque, the most salient symbol of Islam, seems to be a central issue around which policies are developed and much passion and controversy is generated. The mosque has in fact always played a key role in the relation that France has had with Islam and is a kind of indicator of the degree of openness of the society in any given historical period. How did this symbol often se en as a destabilising element to the local French way of life by exacerbating existing tensions, come to be at the heart of the representational problem regarding Islam and France? The permanent settlement of Muslim immigrants, the rise of Islamism and the development of various rivalries between Islamic organisations in France is indicative of the centrality of the mosque when it comes to territorial politics, identity discourse and formation as well as to the strategies of state and organisational control. For this reason the sociology of Islam and the sociology of Muslim immigration in France has also been explored. Faced with the necessity, if not the urgency of having a "community" representative with which it could deal with, the French Republic reactivated its colonial reflexes by deciding to make a break with the supposed "untouchable" law of 9 December 1905 regarding laïcité by creating a representative Muslim body in France (CFCM). The development of a specifically French Islam, now institutionalised, has led to an increasing demand for places of worship including the construction of so called 'Cathedral-Mosques'. These represent a visibility which often comes into conflict with local concerns. This element is also addressed

Full textDuring the french period ofalgeria, euven if application of metropolitan law was considerably widened, some local law ruces continued to exist, especially in moslim family law. French legislator and judges however try to reduce tmis particularism. In the first place they attempt to reduce the application of local law ratione personae by means of inequal internal conflict of law rules and of the rechnics of law option which could be special or general - this last was bound to access to citzensmip during a time. In these optics too, some authors try to prevent the enforcement of the particular personal status in the mother conntry, and some other authors wismed to appcy the code civil rules to muslins which became converted to christianity. In the second place, french legislator and judges attempted to modify personal status rules with the help of very various proceepings. These reforms lead to change the local family law, originally grounded on the lineage family, for the benefit of the state and of the individual, especially of woman, of the child and of the incapacitated person. The algerian legislator continued this work after independence

Full textThis work deals with the construction and the expansion of ethnicity of young French students holding a plurality of stigmata: religious (Islam), social (living in working-class suburbs of Paris) and ethnic (foreign origins: Arabic, Turkish or African) in the public sphere as well as the private sphere. The main question is how these people construct their ethnicity in contact with numerous actors (family, friends, neighborhood, school) during their primary socialization even when their communities lose ever more cohesion, giving the individual more opportunities to choose the content of their identities. The results of the survey display that the connections with the "differences" won't be governed as much by the type of family or the perception of religion than the social and scholastic path of the individual and his perception of social mobility, which is formalized by a typology. How does this ethnicity unfold? Is it instrumentalist, symbolic or of an other kind? Several “entrepreneurs of identity” have appeared during these last years, proposing collective identities defined in ethnic, religious or post-colonial terms. However, there is a deep gap between their discourse and those of the interviewed people. Their actions and their experience are turned toward more universal collective action (vote, scholastic support, etc. . . ). The expression of ethnic, religious or post-colonial references is more or less appeased and more affective than instrumentalist. Could their ethnicity be defined as symbolic as the analysis of their discourse and practices, especially those of consumption and free time, may suggest? Could this definition explain the weakness of ethnic and reli

Full textThe presence of tens of thousands of Algerians in metropolitan France between 1939 and 1944 is a known fact but one which has not been studied with precision, neither by the historiography of the Second World War, nor by that of the French colonial empire. Considered static, Algerian immigration is in reality a dynamic phenomenon. Indeed, between 1939 and 1942, three migratory waves took place between the two shores of the Mediterranean.On the eve of the war, Algeria is a territory worked by powerful and opposing political forces, ranging from separatism to assimilationism. At the end of 1939 and at the beginning of 1940, the Third Republic set up recruitments in Algeria for the needs of the war economy, as part of a wider recruitment process in various colonies. In this context, the installation of the Vichy regime in Algeria is a complex phenomenon, and it would be artificial to separate Algeria from the metropole.Simoultaneously, an intense surveillance of the populations considered as "North Africans", in majority Algerians, is organized: the Vichy regime sets up a secret service whose aim is to monitor the propagation of Nazi propaganda on both shores of the Mediterranean (the Algerian Affairs Service, SAA). This service is created in Marseilles, the nodal point of all questions relating to Algeria during the war years: indeed, beyond the SAA, the North African workforce services (MONA) of the whole metropole are also largely headed by that of Marseilles, which is in charge of managing the migratory flow across the Mediterranean. Indeed, just after the armistice, the new Vichy regime initiated a repatriation of Algerians to Algeria, which intensified from the summer of 1940 to the beginning of 1941, in the hope of reducing unemployment in the metropole. Conversely, from the year 1942 and in the broader context of forced recruitment of european workers by Germany, a new recruitment for the metropole is organized in Algeria, while many Algerians try to flee forms of work that do not suit them. This recruitment is particularly intense for the mining sector.In the occupied zone, surveillance efforts concentrate on Paris. The city is particularly suspect. Indeed, while the Parisian institutions dedicated to the administration of "North Africans" in the region are grappling with the conditions of the German occupation, a certain number of Algerians are in contact with both the collaborationist parties and with the occupation authorities, whether for political or commercial reasons. After the landing in North Africa on November 8th, 1942 and the following invasion of the southern zone three days later, as the entire metropolitan territory passed under German occupation and Algeria into the hands of the Allies, the Etat français makes efforts to overhaul the metropolitan services in charge of the administration of "North Africans", in fact inventing a new content for the phrase. Until the last days of the occupation, this administration will ensure that "North Africans" remain "loyal" to the Empire and to France

Full textThe purpose of this exploratory research is to collect data on the young Moslems resulting from Maghrebian (North African) immigration in France. It is a question on the one hand of giving a progress report on the cultural identity and the identity strategies endorsed by this population and on the other hand to determine the methods of affiliation to Islam. The relations between identity strategies and religious identifications are also studied. The study is based on the theories of acculturation and more particularly on the model of Berry. The identifications with Islam are considered under a multi-field angle. Other dimensions contributing to the comprehension of the studied phenomena are introduced: ethnic identity, self esteem, well being, practical of the religion and finally subjective discrimination. We used a questionnaire to conclude this research. It is composed of seven distinct parts which correspond to dimensions referred to above. We collected and analyzed 491 questionnaires. The typology of strategies obtained proves more complex than that proposed by the model of Berry. Moreover, we could check the complementarity of the various existing models of acculturation. We obtain five factors of identification to Islam. The most significant of them shows the importance of the religion like source of accompaniment and reference mark in everyday life. Lastly, the interpretation of the influence of subjective discrimination proves to be complex, in spite of the fact that the subjects are sensitive there

Full textAt the time when all eyes are turned to the theories on identitarian closure or radicalization among Muslim communities, abandoning islam is developing in silence, touching Muslims of different nationalities. Indeed, a council of ex-Muslims, initially created in 2007, in Great Britain and Germany by two ex-Muslims of Iranian origin, spread to several countries. Ex-Muslims are compelled to remain discreet, even in so-called secular societies where freedom of conscience and belief are supposed to be guaranteed by law. This discretion results from the inner tension in the very heart of islam on the question of apostasy, which remains an issue not yet definitively solved by Muslim scholars. In classical islamic law, abandoning islam is punishable by death. By displaying their conviction, the ex-Muslims, including those in Europe, do not feel safe from the application of this punishment by fundamentalists or, at least, from the rejection by their family and community.What if the current unrest of this islamic body was announcing the birth of a new relationship to islam? In this thesis, we study this phenomenon in French society. Our ambition is to place abandoning islam between two different perspectives: that of islam through its texts and laws; and that of the ex-Muslim himself through his personal trajectory. We would like to understand why these ex-Muslims leave islam and through which process this abandoning happens

Full textSalafism refers to an Islamic Fundamentalism. Islam is defined by a purality of currents et this one aims at restoring first believers' faith and practise, the Salaf Salih ("Pious Ancestors"). This approach is purist and wants to give birth to the initial social pattern that ruled at the beginning. However, this current is divided into several opposed branches which diverge from their relations with politics. Some Salafis are in favour of armed conflict so as to knock over hated regimes for their treachery as regards Islam. Others are reformists and take part into elections in the frame of political and religious activism. Others, eventually, are closer to a non political approach. This last one engenders a socialization which is engaged economically and resistant to political involvment. Followers have the impression that they stand for a "saved group" and they live apart. However, this socialization must be analyzed first of all as a langage given religion defines now relations with the rest of the society that already existed. Salafi identity take many aspect psotmodern societies back. It is the case with non political behaviours and consumerism

Full textFrom the comparison of the discourse of young French and British citizens of Muslim faith from postcolonial immigration who are involved in Etudiants Musulmans de France and Islamic Societies in a context of international war against terrorism and islamophobia, has emerged an alternative discourse identical to two groups. Their discourse has been inscribed in the process of institutionalizing Islam from the mid-war to the contemporary period to trace the evolution of the constitution of Muslim communities in both countries and the process of racialization of Islamic identity.Considering the differences between French and British state systems, particularly immigration and integration policies, this thesis has sought to demonstrate similarities in the treatment of populations from French and British colonies, from the presence of soldiers, students and immigrant workers of the First World War to the settlement of immigrants from the 1960s-1970s, the emergence on the political scene of the following generations in the 1980s, and the criminalization of young Muslims in the war against violent radicalization from 2005. The analogy between the two countries in the management of postcolonial populations is particularly readable in the process of racialized governance of young people of Muslim faith in the era of security and uninhibited Islamophobia. The figures of the young potential terrorist and the veiled girl have been at the heart of the debates on national identity, French and British values and gender equality since September 11, while Muslim communities are erected into suspect communities.The focus in this work on the comparative experience and subjectivities of the students surveyed has tended to demonstrate how their identity constructions, at the intersection of class, race and gender, blur the established boundaries of ethnic, social and cultural belonging to give way to multiple identifications and representations that transcend established representations. It is at the interstice of different spaces (local, national, international) in a globalized world that an alternative discourse to the homogenizing and essentializing discourse of Muslim identities has emerged

Full textThe present PhD dissertation, tackles the issue of how positive relations between Muslims and Jews take place in French secular society and in multicultural Britain nowadays be it at the governmental or population level. We conducted our study under the themes of interethnic and interfaith relations because choosing the Jewish and Muslim religions and the French and British societies raise both issues of ethnicity and religion. Our research is grounded on governmental and institutional texts that compound the socio-political frame within which interfaith relations between Muslims and Jews evolve. We also analyse the work of associations and people involved in interfaith activities by interviewing them. Thus we combine both an on the field grassroots study and a more theoretical approach while interviewing people working in associations or individually involved in interfaith. These researches are then confronted to public opinion and society at large namely through polis, the media and the way they view and talk about interfaith relations. Our aim is to reflect on how the different governmental and grassroots approaches shape or influence interfaith relations in Great Britain and France and to highlight the best practices in interfaith dialogue and activities leading to an inclusive and harmonious society
Gulbahar, Cunillera Zehra. "Des "imams importés" aux "théologiens natifs" : formation des cadres religieux musulmans en France et en Allemagne." Thesis, Paris, EHESS, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019EHES0096.
Full textThis Ph.D. dissertation describes personal, academic and professional trajectories of young Muslims, born and raised in France and Germany, who attend Turkish universities through an interstate program for the training of native Muslim religious personnel called “International Theology.” Returning to their countries of birth, after having a B.A. degree in theology, these young Muslims are employed by religious associations as imam-khatib, preacher, Coran teacher or representative of mosques. This work places their trajectories within a European context in which imams or religious leaders have come to be regarded as a problem even a threat, whose solution is to be found in “proper training” under the control of the secular states seeking to regulate “Europe’s new religion” more efficiently. Based on empirical research in France, Germany and Turkey, the dissertation analyzes this process as a means of integrating Muslims to the larger society by recognizing some of their religious claims while at the same time sending them back to their particular community. Since the secular state needs a well-defined representative body as an interlocutor for the nationalization of Islam and “naturalization” of Muslims, integration to the larger society requires defining Islam as a religion and Muslims as a “religious community” within the framework of existing legal-political structures. This process reveals the well-entrenched Christian underpinnings of French laicity and German secularity, which represent two different systems of European secularism. Both have difficulties adapting Islam to fit within long established structures that have historically managed State-Church relations. At the subjective level, the dissertation explores the ways in which governmental policies empower young Muslims as the “native imams-theologians” while at the same time subjecting them to new techniques of governmentality, which aim at constituting Muslim subjects “compatible” with European democracies. The main argument of the dissertation is two-fold. First, these young Muslim religious personnel exercise their agency in the interstices of new desires and old ties: to serve Islam in French or in German, on the one hand, and, on the other, to reconfigure their complex relations with the Turkish language, with Turkey, and with the institutions built by the first generations of Turkish migrants in Europe. Second, their engagements in the European mosques and at the centers of interfaith dialogue create new spaces in which Turkish Islam in Europe is being redefined along with the boundaries between the three monotheisms. At a more theoretical level, this work broaches the stakes of religious plurality in the twenty-first century, driving European governments to de-absolutize their secular norms in dealing with religions and ushering in new religious social actors, Muslim as well as Christian, to re-theologize interfaith relations on more equal terms

At the crossroads of historical and sociological approaches, we appreciate at the local, national and transnational scales the extent to which the ideas of textbook designers and methods are reflected in these contents, thus establishing that the designers have seized islamist doctrines, have them oriented towards Muslim minorities in the West and thus shaped a very specific muslim identity

Full textIslam is a religion which, although it appeared in the 7th century, really expanded in France in the 20th century. It is the second religion in France. So, if the question of the place of religions – in particular monotheistic – raised many questions or even conflicts in previous centuries, it is now islam in France that raises many questions. French religion law is marked by the centrality of principles of religious freedom, secularity and separation of churches and State. In accordance with these principles, the State shall respect towards all religions in France neutrality and equality. However, the analysis reveals that islam is subject to a special status characterized by shifts in the application of legality and hypertrophy in the implementation of public policy. The French State, for this exceptional regime, departs from orthodoxy formed by the general legal framework and by the rules applicable to other religions

Full textThrough a qualitative study based on minute exploration of 36 detailed interviews among French youth of Maghreb origin, this study is trying to point out the various ways in which these youth combine their multiple feelings of belonging and make theirs the French model of citizenship. The study leads to the setting up of a "mapping" of the "ordinary" citizenship among these people and points to the variety of the empirical ranges in that field. Three types come out : the inheritors (les héritiers), the contractors (les contractants), and the neo-ethnics (les néocommunautaires). This leads us to reconsider the usual, and up to recent times dominant conception of citizenship, and to think about how citizenship can be invigorated. The people interviewed invent for themselves new norms of belonging to a whole, which include, go beyond, or subvert national belonging. .

Full textThis study asserts that the vast majority of European Muslims endorse a concerted secularism, a concept pertaining to a non-hierarchic approach to religious and secular reason in democratic societies and states. This study asks what distinguishes these Muslims that show support for a concerted secularism from their European Muslim and non-Muslim counterparts that present different approaches to secularism. the primary hypothesis advanced in this study is that European Muslims that advocate concerted secularism have undergone a process of religious transformation in which Islam was ‘ethicized’ and conceptualized as a source for pluralistically fashioned familial and democratic values. This study refers to this pluralist constellation of social values as the Muslim civil ethic. This emerging ethicized civil Islam, it is argued, serves to explain Muslims’ distinct approach of concerted secularism. A scholarly review and historical analysis substantiates this study’s ambitious theoretical framework and ensuing working hypothesis, although the salience of the explored hypothesis is ultimately affirmed through the quantitative and qualitative fieldwork. to test the premise that a reformatted civil Islam engenders Muslims’ support for a concerted secularism, this study conducted 97 interviews with Muslims and 208 surveys with Muslims and non-Muslims in France and the Netherlands. These countries present compelling cases for a comparative research. the empirical evidence validates the theoretical framework and verifies the hypothesized relations between the reformatted civil Islam and the endorsement of concerted secularism. the findings of this study substantiate the germaneness and authority of weber’s meta-theory of religion and reveals its theoretical and methodological efficacy for general explorations into the relations between ethical religions and sociopolitical life, and in particular, the burgeoning civil Islam in present day Europe and its relation to the notion of concerted secularism

Full textThe perception of Islam in France and Australia revolves around two very different socio-historical contexts, which produced differentiated systems of constraints and resources for political parties. The structuring dynamics of these contexts are both endogenous and exogenous. The endogenous ones include the migratory history and the specific conditions of settlement of Muslim populations in both countries. The exogenous dynamics ensue from the public authorities' management. In analysing Islam under this multidimensional prism, this thesis serves three purposes: an epistemological one, a methodological one and a heuristic one. From a theoretical point of view, it shows that the perception of Islam by political parties epitomises the necessity of articulating structural overdetermination processes and modalities of objectivation in the sociological approach. In practical terms, this involves exploring new ways to triangulate qualitative and quantitative tools for combining microsociological, mesosociological and macrosociological dimensions, as well as the diachronicity and synchronicity of empirical observations. In doing so, the comparison examines how two "types" of legal-political traditions have shaped different answers to the same question of integrating Muslims within the axiological and cognitive frameworks of the country, and further enables putting into perspective party discourses and representations on the period 2001-2015. It shows the limited relevance of traditional dualisms like the Left/Right opposition on this issue and suggests alternative analytical stances to overcome their biases

Full textIn the first section, we made a sociological critic of some papers on islam in france. Following this, we elaborated a conceptual and problematic scope specific to the aim of our study. In the second section, we have analysed the relationship between the evolution of north african immigration, the settlement of north african immigrants (thus, the hypothesis of impossible or mythical return) and the transplanted islam in france. We realized that this settlement, as it is progressively becoming a reality, is accompanied by a development of islamic social structures (mosques, place of worship, islamic cultural centre and bookshop) in addition to a great number of associations and organizations having for objective, the transmission of islamic message to immigrant muslims and their children. In the third section, we have point out the fact that these structures have favoured the emergence of islam among the immigrant children. But thi s membership is of different levels starting from a simple declaration of faith or the attachment to a set of codes. These different forms of membership have led to different points of view and attitude towards integration as a social an d culturel process

Full textThis study proposes to figure out the relationship between men’s experience and the understanding of a religion. We will rely on the thesis which puts human experience as a basic element for a renewed relationship with religion, and sometimes even, of a new theological production. We will first give references to situate the sphere of influence of political islam as a contemporary production to face up to occidental modernity. We will then study the French context in which muslim discourses close to political Islam make sense to part of the youth, how they establish the islam status as a reference superior to all others and leads to an over-investment in the texts. Finally, we will demonstrate how, by multiplying the experience of human shared actions with other types of militants, the young people interviewed here have reorganized their relation to religion and gradually escaped the islamic ideology

It is only in the 12th century that the history of this presence was revisited in order to make from the muslim or the saracen the other par excellence, so the interest to study the consequence of this presence

Full textIn the 1960s, in the wave of the reception by the Catholics of the Second Vatican Council in a context of increasing immigrant population in France, Catholic popular education movements like JOC-F (association of Young Christian Workers), ACE (Catholic Action for Children) and the Sun Units of the Girl Guides of France, started interacting with young people from North African and Turkish background, often through priests and religious dedicated to the apostolate in popular milieu. Very quickly the leaders of those movements, inspired by Christian Third-Worldism, affirm their concern to respect these young people’s immigrant culture and specific religion, based on the advice of Catholic specialists of Islam. Some of these young Muslims take on responsibilities and affirm the importance of this commitment in their lives from a political as well as a religious point of view. They express that they have become "better Muslims", while being aware of the originality of their faith compared to that of their parents, because of a phenomenon of spiritual mimicry which reinforces the overall trend toward the individualization of one’s relationship to religion, common to the majority of young Muslims of their generation. In the 1980s, the presence of young Muslims raises questions within ACE and JOC-F movements that were at the same time reaffirming their apostolic project in the context of John Paul II’s pontificate. The sometimes divisive debates focus mainly on "Muslim times" and the taking on responsibilities by Muslims. They fade in the 1990s, at a time when the number of young Muslims "joined" by ACE and JOC-F declines. From the 1990s onwards, Muslims are more numerous within the Scouts of France and then the Scouts and Girl Guides of France, through the development of proposals specifically directed to disadvantaged youth. In these movements, the presence of young Muslims is analysed and valued in terms of interfaith dialogue, in a period of increasing interfaith initiatives in France

Full textThe Muslim demands for freedom of worship or for taking into consideration some institutions, have led the French legal order to interfere. Islam having vocation to guide the Muslim in their everyday life, had difficulties to set place into the Republic. A distinction took place in the French law between the personal life and the social life of the Moslem. A conception more "closed" of secularism appeared in the public sphere. It cannot bring in question the efforts previously realized in favor of the exercise of the Muslim cult in France. Furthermore, bringing in question the law of December 9th 1905 to take into account the recently appeared religion is not suitable. The existing legal arsenal is sufficient to reach an equalty of cult with other religions. The reception of the Moslem status in France has been very compromised for some years Archaic et discriminatory institutions cannot find any more effects there. The child and the wife, often injured, deserve the protection of the French legal order. The Moslem norm, as a rule applicable standard, is almost systematically evicted for the benefit of the French law. It is advisable to adapt the rule of conflict to the current reality. Joining the law of the environment of reception is thus more convenient

Full textNearly a quarter century after the great scholar of Islam Jacques Berque declared his wishful desire to one day see emerge a “French Islam”, there start to surface in Europe in general, and France in particular, pioneering theological and canonical works that ambition to revisit the Islamic tradition and propose new paradigms – although still based on the Islamic corpus – to the presence of Muslim minorities in a secular context. That is certainly the case for imâm Tareq Oubrou. After more than thirty years sharing the struggles of his community all over Western France, he set himself on the theological-canonical journey of reappraising his scriptural tradition, contextualizing it in and for the contemporary world, and reevaluating the normativity that classical Sunni thought has been promoting and promulgating for centuries. Beyond these endeavors, it is first and foremost the trajectory of a contemporary Muslim leader in France that will be investigated here with attention to the articulations of his thought in the concrete context of the daily practice of his function of imâm as reflected in his sermons, legal consultations, lectures, and conferences, etc. Special attention will also be given to the reception of such particular Islamic discourses and praxis by French Muslims, both locally and nationally. We suggest that the ethnographic method is the most adapted approach for reaching our research objectives

Full textBy studying three types of mobilizations aiming at the recognition of Islam in France, our thesis examines the agency of Integralists Muslim subjects. These subjects live in a society governed by sets of complex and varying standards in which the religious norm is just a norm among others. They want to live in and within the Muslim norms but this desire being strongly denied, they are encouraged to "work" the majority norms as well as the ideality of Muslim norms. Using J. Butler’s approach, I studied the agency of Muslim subjects and analyses the various ways to redevelop the standards that constitute them. The demands for recognition made by our respondents constitute their agency. This agency develops in varying degrees combining religious norms and norms relating to the national framework. By this process the subjects of Islam redefine the normative conceptions of the believing subject, of the political and protesting subject, and finally of the gendered subject

Full textFrom 1945 to 1962, the French and foreign immigration from Algeria contributed to the rebuilding and then to the development of Saint-Denis in a decisive way. A quantitative study of the migratory flood and of the jobs occupied by the studied population allow to precise its contribution to the demographic and economic expansion of this key City belonging to the 'red belt' of Paris. The political tendencies and the actions developed by the communist municipality reveal both a continuous commitment towards the Foreigners and the French muslims from Algeria and the obstacles they encountered when they arrived for the first time in France alter the war. Tanks to nearly sixty biographical interviews ("life stories'), the strategies liulsed to their identity and path are studied. The dynamics appropriate to the proteam process such as integration and assimilation are studied. An attempt of building a mode reveals, a 'dionysian melting pot'

Full textThe study turns on the influence of the decolonization over the French and Algerian relationship concerning personal statute. The question is to establish symmetry between colonial law and international private law. The decolonization didn't set up a real breaking off within the solutions: it has changed the nature of the conflict without changing anything as for the nature of the debate. The problematical point remains unchanged since the defended thesis in colonial law of mohammadan law irreducibleness restricts its acceptance in french legar order. The recourse to the rule of common law conflict indicates the passage from the interpersonal conflict to the international conflict at the same time as legal relationship are normalizing. The determination of algerians mohammedan nationality is previous to the study of the conflict of laws. The application of common law shows the divergence between the two legislation and raises the difficulties of coordination. Indeed the extension of french categories of marriage and divorce is far from screening allthat separates them, thus, the respect of personal law must falloof when fondamental values or the coherence of local legal order are threatened. Therefore we state the wearing away of personal law through the intervention of laws applying immediatly or of the international law and order. Necessity for thinking of the factor of the common domicile become timely

Full textThis dissertation examines, in a socio-historic and ethnographic perspective, the reapproprations and reinventions of a religious authority in thé French immigration framework through the particular case of imams. This research combines a sociology of immigration (which is partly a sociology of the receiving State and a sociology of popular classes) and a sociology of religion and its clerics. Its premise is that imams, as "migrant-cleric" experiment the two sides of domination (they dominate as clerics and are dominated as "immigrants"). Therefore, this study first analyzes the way these "organic" intellectuals of migration have managed to exercise a religious and community leadership with the establishment of several generations of Muslim migrants in France. Secondly, it tries to identify how these "migrant-clerics" have been gradually instituted as objects of public policy by the French State because of their supposed influence over the Muslim communities. Finally, it studies the nature of the real authority of imams over and with their followers, showing what this authority owes to the localized reapproprations of this role in French mosques

Full text''Islam has its place at the table of the Republic". This quote used by Jean Pierre Chevènement, French Home Secretary of the Jospin government fit into a general debate over the position of Islam and more particularly of local Islam in the French society. The issue of the place of Islam in France and of its daily expression on a local scale has become a recurring problem and some events such as the Toulouse shootings, involving Mohamed Merah, made the "political Islamism" ghost reappear. We have to to go beyond passion in order to understand local Islam in France through the regional Muslim Councils that are supposed to be preferred representatives of public authorities. The goal is to understand the complexity of Islam in France. That is the reason why it was considered interesting to dedicate this research to this issue with the experience of a citizen observing Islam in France. Islam in France as topic was too large to discuss and treat. We were interested in a topic that take root in Islam, in its temporal and institutional aspects. The polemic that the representation of Islam provoked was a push to know more, especially in the city of Avignon. We would like to understand the impact and dimension of the symbolic value of such an institutionalization of Islam. A historic meeting between Islam and Republic seems to happen right before our eyes. It is important to say that most of researches barely treated die organization of the Muslim religion on a local scale. The main objective is to measure in quantitative and qualitative terms the practical action of the French Council of Muslim Faith (CFCM), taking into account its primary missions related to the representation and protection of the Muslim faith. This research also has as an objective to comprehend in a better way the relationship between regional Muslim Councils and local elected representatives. It is particularly interesting to note that for ten years, Islam as a social fact invited itself on cities agendas in the form of files dealing with mosque, Muslim cemetery areas, head scarfs, or more recently halal meals in public schools. All of which are among issues that elected representatives have to deal with and they are not always prepared or legally armed to resolve them. Do the elected Muslim interlocutors have a real representativeness next to the elected members of local authorities (mayors, local council presidents. . . ) or are they just another interlocutor that emphasizes the heterogeneity of j the local Islamic landscape? The lack of hierarchy and the diversity of schools of thought have made it hard for Islam to structure itself and to gain acknowledgement. The nature of the Muslim community, divided and split up is an obstacle to the organization and recognition of Islam by the institutions. As some are demanding for a readjustment of the December 9th 1905 Act, dealing with the separation of State and religions, this study is intended to enlighten with a new outlook the interaction between religious communities and local authorities in a lay State context and in a widely secularized society. This thesis is a contribution to define the real connection between Islam in non Muslim country such as France and secularism felt and used by local elected representatives. It is a way to address citizenship and to address the failure by the Republic to recognize some as full-fledged citizens

Full textMy doctoral thesis focuses on the question of death of a Muslim in Europe drawing on a case study on the Turkish speaking Muslim minorities in Germany and in France. The post-mortem voyage of the corpses, which is still the dominant practice for this group, has been mainly framed within the discussions on the "integration" of a "migrant", as the decision to be buried in the country of residence is considered to be an ultimate sign for willingness to "integrate". In these debates on the supposed lack of integration, "Islam" is offered to be the principal reason for those who opt for repatriation to the country of origin. With a critical stance to the ideological construction and the absurdity of the question of "integration" of German or French bom citizens of Kurdish or Turkish descent, I focus rather on the economic and political structures enabling repatriation, legal problems before the realisation of Muslim burials in Germany and France from a historical perspective parallel with other minoritised religions by the State, which constructs Islam as an "exception". In order to expose the complexity of the issue, I realised an ethnographic study, based on participant observations and semi-structured interviews on the one hand with Muslim undertaker companies in Berlin and Paris each of which adhering to different religious and/or ideological currents on the other hand with persons

Full textBy broadening the time scope and reducing the space scope of its investigation, the author shows that in France, the process of institutionalisation of Islam is neither linear nor uniform in time and space. It does not only depend on the proportion of Muslims in France or on their level of cultural and social integration. It also varies according to the status of Islam and Muslims in the Republic. The difficulties met when reconstructing a history of Muslim institutions in Bordeaux, a metropolis that built its wealth on colonialism, reveal the existence of a deep-rooted "republican ideology of Islam". This enables us to understand better what is at stake when addressing the issue of the establishing of Islam. The forming of the Muslim associations of Bordeaux was until now poorly known, as well as their relations with their political and economical environment. Through the setting up of a legal slaughtering system for the Aïd el Kebir, the detailed study of these associations illustrates the concrete effects of the national construction of the Muslim fact on the structuring of the Islamic community in Bordeaux

Full textIn the mid-eighties, in the parisian quarters of la Goutte d'or and la Folie Mericourt appeared a new kind of commercial agencies: the islamic bookshops. Does the recent creation of those islamic bookshops express a new cultural practice within the muslim population in Paris? And is the reading of islamic books the consequence of a situation of exile and anomie? To understand this phenomenom and the new practice it induces, this work focuses on three strategies of investigation. The first sketches the places, in which those bookshops are settled and tries to size the nature of the sociological networks in which they are embedded. The second deals with the production of the islamic bookshop: inventory of books and study of all the stuff around books. The third approach questions the two places of production of islamic books: Lebanese edition and local edition

Full textThe Medieval Moor has permeated into the identity of the Corsican People; its symbolism is so strong that the supreme emblem is imprinted on the flag. Yet, no matter how omnipotent this image can be, its perception remains confused for these people that it is supposed to incarnate. Its history is mixed with the progressive Christianity on the island and the fracture in two parts of the Mediterranean: the North, Christian and the South, Muslim. It gives life to a myth and a symbol which will, imperfectly, structure a collective conscience because they are the manifestation of a non assumed part of identity. Starting in the 16th century this image fluctuate with the geopolitical evolutions of the Mediterranean with the flux and the reflux of the pressure from Turkey and Barbary Coast, the colonization of Northern Africa in the 19th century and then the decolonization in the second half of the 20th century. These successive stages alter, even eclipse the image of the Moor; as a matter of fact, this image results from two processes geopolitical and ethno-cultural. In the imaginary, the Moor from beyond the seas will merge in with the Moor from the inland:

Full textThe algerian muslim's association of ulama was founded in 1931. It is a religious group composed of scholars of the arabic culture with a reformist tendency. This association follows the big religious reform movement of the beginning of the 19 th at machrek. At the religious level, the ulam's purpose is to fight against practices which are considered to be in contrast to the muslim's orthosoxy. At the culturel level, they try to keep their arabica-muslim's personality and fight against their assimilation. The french administration authorities do not stay indifferent, particularly after the failure of the traditionalists in their fight against the ulama, because the maraboutisl has become the warrant of social and political stability in algeria. The authorities react by taking steps against the ulama, i. E. The prohibition to pray in the so-called "official" mosques. These measures push the ulama to go towards political groups which favour the formation of the algerian muslim's congress in 1936. A charter, which claims political, social and economic rignts is submitted to the governement of the popular front. Disappointed with by the answer to their claims, the ulama do not hesitate to approach radical nationalists and demand the end of the colonial order. But when in november 1954, the insurrection is triggered off, they do not take part in the armed fight. It is only when they have been disappointed in their search for a pacifist way out of the algerain problem that they join the fln

Full textThis thesis investigates the injunction to assimilate in the procedure for acquiring French citizenship between 1927 and 2007. Firstly, l analyze the reasons and the circumstances surrounding which naturalization applicants were first required to be 'assimilated' in order to become French citizens. A socio-historical approach will demonstrate how “assimilation” came to be at once a religious, political and scientific concept and how its various uses and meanings were determined by its circulation in different discursive fields and between the French metropolis and its colonies. The inception of the assimilation requirement in French citizenship law is analyzed with reference to specific social and political configurations in both colonial and metropolitan situations. Secondly, I examine how the administrative bureau responsible for processing naturalization applications gauges candidates' level of “assimilation”. Socio-historical and ethnographic research conducted in local bureaucracy brings into sharp relief the invention and administrative uses of “assimilation” criteria, which are largely determined by historical circumstances, competing administrative approaches, the practices of street-Ievel bureaucrats and the “naturalisability” of the candidates in question. The objective reality of naturalization comes to the fore in cases where candidates have been denied naturalization for failure to 'assimilate' which mainly concern women and/or Muslims. The study of administrative litigation related to the failure to assimilate (défaut d'assimilation) raises issues such as the headscarf, polygamy and Islamic fundamentalism within the naturalization procedure

Full textThis sociologic work relates the identity-building process of the Harkis children. Harkis were French Muslims (auxiliary) fighting for France during the Algerian independance war. In a post-colonial context we want to demonstrate that they are not only subjected to the same problems as the second generation of Algerian immigrants : they were and are victims of racism from the French, but they also have a specific problem : they are bannished from the Algerian community (both in France and in Algeria) for whom they remain sons of traitors. Nevertheless, Harkis children, beyond the double rejection (banishment, racism) show a triple affiliation : belonging to French society, the Algerian community and the Harkis community. We will also show how they deal with triple affiliation and double rejection. For this, we distinguish by gender and we utilize categories unusual in sociology : the "subject", the "non-subject", the "anti-subject" and the "hyper-subject"

Full textThe word muslim, which not only refers to Islam, is nowaday polysemous to a great extent. This research analyses the uses of the word muslim and the way in which it is used to identify as muslim-s. Firstly, it focuses on the changes of the historical semantics of the term. Then it seeks to identify, from a fieldwork perspective (interviews, observations, questionnaires), what is a stake in the self-categorisation process. Is muslim an ethnicity, a religious or a cultural category ? The ethnicization, racialization and confessionalization religious processes bring about two knew signification new spaces : a new political use which raises questions on class, race and islamophobia (muslimness) and a new confessional use who cleave culture and cult (muslimity). This last use leads to the formation of a contemporary Islamic ethics and to the search of a ”pure religious”. This transversal study asks what being muslim-s means in France today, considering history as well as self-categorisation discourses
