    Les « martyrs » jihadistes veulent-ils forcément mourir ?:Une approche émique des mécanismes de la radicalisation auto-sacrificielle au Pakistan

    La plupart des travaux sur les attentats suicides construisent, Ă  partir d’une prosopopĂ©e dĂ©pendante de sources problĂ©matiques, un « martyr » d’emblĂ©e motivĂ© Ă  mourir. Les rĂ©cits de vie de recrues jihadistes pakistanaises montrent que les motivations individuelles pourraient en rĂ©alitĂ© ĂȘtre une Ă©nigme moins fondamentale que les temps et, surtout, les mĂ©canismes sociaux de cette radicalisation. La fuite en avant, le pari adjacent et le dĂ©sir d’encadrement sont trois mĂ©canismes que cette perspective Ă©mique permet d’identifier. Elle conduit Ă©galement Ă  Ă©mettre l’hypothĂšse « en creux », en questionnant les causes du dĂ©sengagement, que le passage Ă  l’acte ne s’explique ni par la sociabilitĂ© primaire du militant, ni mĂȘme forcĂ©ment par une volontĂ© de mourir : des techniques collectives de crĂ©ation du consentement et des dĂ©cisions individuelles « absurdes » peuvent Ă©galement le rendre intelligible.Using a prosopography based on sources which cannot be verified, most academic works on the phenomenon of suicide bombings tend to present a ‘martyr’ who is hyper-motivated to die. This contrasts with the life stories of former recruits from a Pakistani jihadi militia, which show that individual motivations might be less of a puzzle than the social mechanisms of self-sacrificial radicalization. Three types of mechanisms can then be identified: the fuite en avant, the ‘side-bet’ and the desire to belong to a domineering group. This emic approach is also applied to the causes of de-radicalization to suggest, from an ‘upside-down’ perspective, that the act of self-sacrificial violence itself does not always derive from the primary socialization of the militant, or necessarily from a will to die but, often, from collective techniques of creating consent and individual ‘absurd decisions’

    This pleasure is rarely given to a book reviewer, so I shall put it simply: Living Islam is an important work, and this justifies assessing it in earnest and at length. 'What does it mean to live a Muslim life?' wonders Magnus Marsden. Asking this basic but powerful question has perhaps never been as strong a scientific imperative as today. To be sure, everyone—from the media and think-tanks in the West to religious and political authorities in the Muslim world—claim monopoly over the answer...

    ‘No politics’ says the roaring tiger that illustrates this special issue of SAMAJ. This sticker was bought from a street vendor in Kanpur, a city located in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, during a celebration of the Ambedkar jayanti (birthday commemoration) in 2008. It is highly indicative of the way emotions can be valorized as pure and authentic expressions from the body, and pitted against regular politics, stigmatized as the impure realm of politicking, deals and compromises. This exp..
