  Domestic, Regional, and International Trends in Islamism (2013-2015)

  Over the last years, politics in the Middle East and North Africa have been shaped by impressive reversals of fortune. Month after month, journalists and analysts have all at some point depicted liberals, Islamists, soldiers, women, jihadis, and youth as the great winners of the "Arab spring", before being later considered as likely losers. The root causes of the Muslim Brotherhood’s inability, since the fall of Muhammad Mursi in Egypt, during the second “round” of the Arab Spring, to cash in on the political capital originally accumulated thanks to their leading role in the opposition to authoritarian regimes and subsequently during post-revolutionary elections, still calls for substantial research. In parallel, the emergence of the so-called Islamic State has been a game changer, introducing new dynamics that need to be made explicit and analysed by academics.

  Study days - Representation

  The representations of martyrs in the Islamic world

  The manufacture of images - presences in the public space

  Partant du constat largement partagé d'une exposition aussi nombreuse que diverse des figures de martyrs dans les espaces publics de pays musulmans, cette journée d'étude se consacre à l'analyse des processus de fabrication (peintures, photographies, pochoirs, images numériques...), des supports d'affichage (murs, musées, internet) ainsi qu'à la mise en rapport de ces productions par-delà les singularités des pays, des conflits et des mythologies, pour en interroger le sens et les évolutions.
