Résumé:Dans le conte marocain intitulé Les pommes de lalla Fatima bent Mansūr, le héros se couvre la tête d’un couvre-chef, un bonnet en l’occurrence, pour se déguiser et échapper aux regards indiscrets. A défaut de développements aboutis de la part du conteur, c’est au chercheur de s’employer pour présenter sous son vrai jour le rapport entre le souci de s’astreindre au strict incognito et le fait de porter un bonnet. Une démarche de facture étymologique nous permettra de découvrir que le bonnet a partie liée avec la calvitie et qu’il trouve son origine dans la vessie ou les boyaux que le néophyte du rite d’initiation devait porter pour donner l’impression de calvitie. Aussi le motif du bonnet permet-il au conte de rester attaché à sa matrice nourricière, le rite, et invite-t-il alors le chercheur à faire appel à la notion, d’origine freudienne, d’ombilic.

RESUME:En Mauritanie, la vente de lait aux laiteries apparaît comme une nouvelle stratégie d’adaptation du secteur de l’élevage aux changements écologiques et socio-économiques.Cette vente est en rapport avec l’intensification des systèmes de production et les processus de sédentarisation des éleveurs suite aux cycles de sécheresse.La présente étude montre que la vente du lait induit des transformations sociales et économiques chez les groupes de producteurs en terme de réduction du temps de travail des femmes, d’émergence de nouveaux pouvoirs locaux, de développement d’une économie marchande pastorale avec des rapports bénéfices/coûts atteignant 37% par an.

Abstract:In the run-up to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, the geopolitics of the Gulf and Qatar’s outsider role in the region are particularly deserving of critical attention. A lot has been written on military balance and bold Qatari endeavours, for example in the context of regime change in Libya, but only a few authors have paid attention to the more or less subtle normative bases of Qatar’s foreign policy. This article examines these foundations by taking a closer look at the reign of Emir Hamad (1995–2013). Rather than providing one more assessment of state-driven norm entrepreneurship, it identifies some crucial components of the Qatari approaches to modernity, namely economy- and business-inspired concepts such as efficiency. While these concepts might have played a rather instrumental role in the first place, facilitating Qatar’s unprecedented rise as an international actor, they also entail distinct normative assumptions and even a certain degree of utopian thinking. In this vein, the article seeks to highlight those aspects in actual Qatari foreign policy and to provide an issue-specific assessment of Emir Hamad’s political legacy.

Abstract:In the post-1979 Iranian revolution, the US-Iran relations have become one of the most antagonistic foreign policy issues facing these countries’ international relations. From being allies to enemies and negotiation partners, Iran and the United States have a long history of interactions with each other. During the last quarter of the twentieth century, the US-Iran relations grew further strained by doubt and distrust, a precursor of difficult times ahead. Under the Obama administration, however, limited rapprochement between the United States and Iran led to the nuclear deal with the latter, an agreement that should serve both countries’ national interests. In contrast, the incoming Trump administration could potentially undermine that momentum by imposing more sanctions on Iran, further complicating the relations between these two countries in a turbulent region that desperately needs accommodation rather than conflict.

Abstract:The late Egyptian scholar of Islamic Studies, Naṣr Ḥāmid Abū Zayd (1943–2010), is considered one of the prominent modernist thinkers of the twentieth century. This article examines his critique of the primarily Egyptian-based nineteenth-century intellectual movement often referred to as nahḍa (renaissance). After a period of intellectual vibrancy and openness, the Arab world plunged into regression and authoritarianism, for which Abū Zayd blamed the nahḍa intellectuals, arguing that they built the infrastructure of this intellectual backwardness. His criticism focused on five major areas: First, rather than investigate the real causes for European progress, which would allow the Arab world to emulate them, Abū Zayd claimed that the nahḍa intellectuals focused instead on the loss of the glorious Islamic past. Their conclusion that a proper application of Islam would bring about a rebirth of that celebrated past, according to Abū Zayd, gave rise to/empowered Islamists decades later. Second, Abū Zayd accused the nahḍa thinkers of passively allowing Europe to frame the identity of large swaths of people as primarily Muslim, wrongly making religion the sole defining factor. Third, the nahḍa intellectuals reproduced an excessively simplified version of their history as well as that of Europe, Abū Zayd pointed out, making it impossible to draw accurate lessons. Fourth, Abū Zayd criticised the nahḍa intellectuals’ lack of appreciation for science for its own sake, rather than as a means to achieve hegemony and power, arguing that this attitude prevented real progress. Finally, because the nahḍa scholars backtracked when attacked by conservative voices, Abū Zayd accused them of lacking courage – ultimately empowering the conservative voices.
