This article examines the origins and foundations of the vision of international relations within certain political Islam movements. By examining the principles on which leading creators of the doctrine base their conception of world politics, we can better understand the constants and breaks that characterize Islamism as a framework for thinking about global power relationships. The article also draws on specific examples (Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, Ennahda in Tunisia, and the Justice and Development Party in Morocco) to underline the importance of national contexts in shaping the doctrine developed by these movements. Given the central importance of ideal constructions in Islam, we conclude that one of the most relevant interpretative strategies available to researchers seeking to examine how political Islam views international relations is constructivism.

ABSTRACTRepresentations of ugliness and sufferance of the human body have been subjected to stylization to comply with the classic ideal of beauty. Contemporary art tries, on the other hand, to break away from this ideal to capture the very pathos of the body's life. But are we not reaching to the limits of artistic representation by thus pushing to the extreme this art's experience ?

AbstractTaking into consideration the intangible cultural heritage holds a central position in the new challenges confronting today's various cultural communities. Françoise Lempereur briefly repositions globalization and cultural diversity and shows that, faced with these two basic guidelines, communities' reactions can be radically opposed: acceptance or refusal of the fusion and in the case of refusal, an essentialist or evolutionary approach. The latter sacrifices heritage for the benefit of trends, supported by new technologies; the first emphasizes the use of an idealised past in what the author identifies as a policy of “folklorisation”. Fortunately, some communities accomplish a positive combination and revitalize their heritage through new forms of communication. This is the case of the municipality of Clare in Nova Scotia, the flag-bearer of a growing Acadian identity.
