AbstractFar from being limited only to institutional aspects of politics and independent from the other spheres of society, this article will show that even though women's political participation is dependent on democracies that have long excluded them, it goes beyond that. In the political sphere, women have developed alternative practices characterized by an interweaving of social agendas. In the private sphere, they activate dynamics of concerted individuation that question male domination. They thus contribute to the renewal of normalizing definitions of the political and the domestic spheres, just as they introduce new structures between the two.

AbstractIn this paper, we introduce the main strengths of Raymond Aron's political judgment concerning the “friend-enemy” polarity. In light of that question, we revisit Aron's political philosophy in order to show its “intention” and the way it accounts for to the tension between domestic politics and international relations, norm and exception, the “meaning” of politics (friendship) and the permanent possibility of war (enmity). Aron's critical analysis of Carl Schmitt's criterion of the “political” turns out to be a particularly revealing example of Aron's approach. The article then identifies the “lessons” to be drawn from the Aronian outlook concerning the understanding of the nature of the political world, its changing configurations and its genuine seriousness.

In the last few years, the presence of islamism has been felt in contexts of migration. Behind islamist demands, there is an ideology that promotes a societal project that does not bode well in terms of democracy and human rights. This paper examines the foundations of the islamists' conception of democracy, on the basis of the founding documents on which it has been built. We show that there has been two dominant attitudes: one that rejects democracy, and one that tries to appropriate it, that is that tries to modify its fundamental meaning in order to make it stick to traditional conceptions of power. We also examine the consequences of the rejection of the democratic ideal on the evolution of Muslim-Arab societies and on their democratic transition.

AbstractBy resorting to a non-essentialist conception of the political and by defining the latter as the unveiling of the contingent character of what appears to be real, objective, or ineluctable, this text aims at identifying the political value of social imaginaries. We shall do so by showing how reality effects are created by clashes between contradictory imaginaries, tending to dislocate the symbolic order or the political language that appears like “objectivity” in a given time and space, as well as suturing the gap generated by this dislocation or representation crisis.
