Cette recherche se propose de suivre le développement en islam de la piété centrée sur la figure du Prophète, à travers la pratique de la « prière sur le Prophète ». Elle part de la place de cette prière dans les textes fondateurs et dans la tradition juridico-théologique. Elle se livre ensuite à l'analyse philologique d'un choix significatif de formules de « prière sur le Prophète » (taṣliya, pl. taṣliyāt ) depuis le début de l'islam jusqu'au XIXème siècle, en mettant l'accent sur la tradition maghrébine, marocaine plus précisément. Il s'agit non seulement de recenser ce que disent ces formules sur Muhammad, son caractère, ses vertus, sa fonction prophétique, son rôle spirituel, mais encore de relever les implications doctrinales de ces textes. Ce travail d'analyse aboutit à une synthèse thématique montrant le développement progressif, surtout à partir du XIIème siècle, de formules de prière qui mettent en valeur la dimension métaphysique et cosmique du Prophète plus précisément de la « Lumière » ou de la « Réalité muhammadienne ». Les maîtres soufis qui composent ces taṣliyāt mettent ainsi le Prophète au coeur de la doctrine et de la pratique spirituelles. / This research project aims to chart the development of Islamic piety centered on the figure of the Prophet, through the practice of the « prayer on the Prophet ». It begins with the prayer itself which is present in the founding documents of the legal-theological tradition. It continues with a philological analysis of a significant selection of prayer formulas (taṣliya, pl.taṣliyāt ) spanning the beginning of Islam through to the 19th century, with a special emphasis on the traditions of the Maghreb, specifically Morocco. The purpose of such an overview is to identify what these formulas reveal about Muhammad, his character, his virtues, his prophetic office and spiritual role, as well as uncover the doctrinal implications of these texts. This analysis leads to a thematic synthesis showing the progressive development, particularly from the 12th century on, of prayer formulas that put emphasis on the metaphysical and cosmic dimensions of the Prophet, more precisely of the « Light » or « Muhammadan reality ». The Sufi masters who composed these texts thus put the Prophet at the heart of both doctrine and spiritual practice.

From angry torch-swinging Parisians attacking the Bastille and Russian workers rising up against the Tsar to outraged Chinese peasants exacting revenge on their landlords and Cuban guerrillas battling Batista’s army, revolutions without violence have in the past been near inconceivable. But when unarmed Iranians after an extended popular struggle forced Muhammad Reza Pahlavi, the last king of Iran, to flee Tehran on January 16, 1979, they had gifted the world a new and seemingly paradoxical phenomenon: a nonviolent revolution. Far from a historical oddity, such revolutions have since occurred on almost every continent. Over the past thirty years the function of guerrilla tactics, military coups, and civil war has increasingly been replaced by demonstrations, boycotts, and strikes. How can social scientists account for this “evolution of revolution” that have so altered the appearance of the phenomenon that by Arendt’s definition events in places like Iran, the Philippines, Chile, Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Serbia, Georgia, and Ukraine may not even qualify as revolutions? Yet, the popular overthrows of authoritarian regimes in each and every one of those countries were nothing less than revolutionary. The dissertation seeks to understand this recent development in the nature of revolutions by historically examining the phenomenon’s signal case, the Iranian Revolution. The core question asked is: what are the structural and historical forces that caused the Iranian Revolution to be the world’s first nonviolent revolution? The central argument is that both the emergence and success of the nonviolent Iranian Revolution can be explained by its internationalization. In other words, the Iranian Revolution turned out to be successfully nonviolent because, unlike previous revolutions, it was a global affair in which the revolutionaries intentionally and strategically sought to bring the world into their struggle against the state. Indirectly, the aim of this study is to generate the genesis of a theoretical framework that can explain more broadly the emergence and success of nonviolent revolutions in the late 1970s and beyond. / text

Discerner les différentes composantes de la religion permettra de saisir la portée de l'analyse que mène Haddâd. Quelle dimension porte sa conception de l'Islam ? Père Youssef Dûrra El-Haddad, surnommé le Maître (al-Ustâdh) est né en 1913 à Yabrûd Kalamûn en Syrie. Au Liban, il s'est consacré à la recherche et à l'écriture. Maître Haddad publiera des articles et écrira des livres jusqu'après sa mort en 1979. Sa consécration aux études coraniques et au rapport islamo-chrétien attire sur lui l'attention depuis les années de formation à Jérusalem, et devient à la base d'une œuvre enrichissante en langue arabe. Maître Haddad réfléchit sur l'Islam selon deux axes : 1. d'abord il cherche une nouvelle "définition" de l'Islam autrement dit il l'aborde d'une façon nouvelle et avec de nouveaux critères. 2. En deuxième lieu il pose l'assise d'une nouvelle stratégie du dialogue islamo-chrétien afin de proposer un credo commun. Le point culminant, de sa recherche est: Comment dialoguer entre musulmans et chrétiens et professer un credo unique ? Comment dire le rapprochement et en quels termes ? Comment considérer le dialogue et sur quelle base ? Pour Haddad, la référence commune et le critère ultime sont textuels. Confrontons donc les deux sources d'Ecrits avant d'aborder les points conflictuels. Mais Comment va-t-il faire pour atteindre ce but ? Comment atteindre la foi musulmane primitive ? Selon Maître Haddad, Les textes interrogés peuvent révéler le point de départ d'un dialogue voire d'un rapprochement entre les deux expressions de la foi. Il est donc bénéfique de se rencontrer sur un terrain d'entente. Haddad interroge donc l'ultime référence, le Coran, afin de mettre en relief l'importance de la Bible, Torah et Evangile, selon les écrits musulmans. Comment ramener l’Islam et le mettre avant le christianisme alors qu’il est historiquement après lui ? Ainsi, l'Islam pourrait-il être reconduit à découvrir ses sources chrétiennes. Ce déplacement des bases du dialogue est un des fondements sur lesquels s'appuie l'œuvre de Haddâd. La question qui se pose est la suivante: Comment situer sa théologie de l'Islam et comment classer sa vision ? Comment considère-t-il l'Islam, et qu'est ce qui différencie sa vision des autres approches de cette religion ? Cette étude analyse sa vision sur l’Islam et sur le dialogue islamo-chrétien telle qu’elle est présentée dans son œuvre. / By distinguishing the different components of Religion, one may be able to better understand the meaning behind Haddad’s analysis. Which dimension does the islamic conception take? Father Haddad, nicknamed the Master, was born in 1913 in Yabrud Kalamun, Syria. In Lebanon, he devoted his life to research and writing. He continued publishing articles and writing books until his death in 1979. His consecration to the Qur'anic studies and the christian-muslim relation attracted his attention since the years of training in Jerusalem; and it becomes at the base of a work rewarding in Arabic language. Master Haddad thinks of Islam from two perspectives: First, he sought a new 'definition' of Islam—addressed in a new way and with new criteria. Secondly, he laid the foundation of a new strategy of the Christian-Muslim dialogue in order to propose a common creed. The essential point of his research: how do we communicate between Muslims and Christians and profess a single creed? How do we define the approximation and in what terms? How do we consider the dialogue and on what basis? According to Haddad, the common reference and the ultimate criterion are textual. Therefore, let’s confront the two written sources before addressing the conflicting points. But how is he going to achieve this goal? How is he going to reach the primitive Muslim faith? According to Master Haddad, the texts surveyed can reveal the starting point of a dialogue or even of a rapprochement between the two expressions of faith. It is therefore beneficial to meet on common ground. Haddad interrogated the ultimate reference, the Qur'an, in order to highlight the importance of the Bible, Torah and Gospel, according to the Muslim writings. How do we bring the Islam and place it before the Christianity when it is historically after it? Thus, could Islam be extended to discover its Christian sources? This movement of the databases of the dialogue is one of the foundations on which Haddâd based his work. The question arises: How does he specify his theology of Islam and how does he classify his vision? How does he consider Islam, and what differentiates his vision from other approaches to this religion? This study analyzes its vision on Islam and on the christian-muslim dialogue as it is presented in his work.

This thesis deals with the media representation of president Muhammad Morsi in five Egyptian newspapers. The main goal is to find out what kind of image these periodicals create and in what ways these images differ from each other. The research method used is qualitative content analysis and image analysis that examines articles, photographs and cartoons related in some way to president Morsi. Examined period is six weeks after the official announcement of the results of the presidential elections, i.e. from 25th June to 5th August 2012. The thesis consists of three parts. In the first theoretical part, the reader is introduced to the media concepts which represent the basic frame of the research. This section also contains the outline of the political development in Egypt with an emphasis on the changes in 2011 and 2012. Furthermore, it describes the life of the new president and the development of Egyptian press. Finally, the first section includes short description of the five examined newspapers. The second part describes the research methodology including the research sample, questions and hypothesis. The last part presents and interprets the results of the analysis and comes to a final conclusion of this thesis.

<p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><p><p>About two years after publishing so called Muhammad cartoons in Denmark, the Swedish regional newspaper</p><p><em>Nerikes Allehanda </em>in Orebro published an editorial on self-censorship. A drawing of Prophet Muhammad as a Roundabout dog, drawn by <em>Lars Vilks</em>, was illustrating the article. Publishing of Muhammad drawing was followed by reactions both in Sweden and in some other countries especially in the muslim world. There are many differences and similarities between the publishing in Denmark and Sweden. There are differences and similarities between the two cases even regarding to the reactions in muslim countries. Mass media have certainly played an important role in mediating information about the publishing to people in muslim countries. Which information and how they were mediated are significant for shaping perceptions and thereby the reactions that followed the publishing of Muhammad drawing in Sweden. This essay is investigating how newspapers and online newspapers (web newspapers) in nine muslim countries reported about the publishing of Muhammad drawing. The subjects that newspapers were interesting of and the discourses domination reporting are in focus for this investigation. This essay will also investigate how newspapers and online newspapers in muslim countries covered two issues which were well covered by Swedish media, A threat against <em>Lars Vilks </em>from organization "Islamic State in Iraq" and a statement from the Iranian president Ahmadinejad regarding the Muhammad drawing in <em>Nerikes Allehanda</em>.</p></p></p>

In this paper I give biographical sketches of a thirteen century Egyptian poet, best known as al- Busiri, the original composer of Kasidatul Burdah in Arabic and the Swahili translator of the said epic best known as Sheikh Muhammad Mshela, from Shela in Lamu, Kenya. Kasidatul Burdah (The Mantle Ode) or Kasida ya Burudai, in Swahili, is the most famous qasida in the Muslim world. I transcribed this qasida from Arabic to Roman script and analysed it (wa Mutiso 1996). My intention is to show how these poets share the same world view concerning Sufism and Islamic culture in particular

La recherche proposée souhaite être une contribution aux études coraniques contemporaines. Elle vise à analyser un genre prépondérant du Coran : la polémique. L'étude s'appuie pour l'essentiel sur l'analyse du contre-discours tenu par les détracteurs du Coran, dont ce dernier se fait lui-même l'écho, et la riposte coranique qu'elle génère. L'investigation tentera de répondre aux questions suivantes : comment le discours coranique réfute la parole qui le nie ? Quelles sont les stratégies discursives mises en place ? Quelles sont les représentations de l'opposant qu'elles entraînent ? A quels effets (de sens) sur qui et sur quoi ces stratégies conduisent-elles ? Ce travail empruntera des voies méthodologiques pluridisciplinaires issues des sciences de l'histoire des religions, des théories de la linguistique (la polyphonie, l'intertextualité et le discours rapporté) et des sciences de l'argumentation et de la rhétorique (le modèle dialogal et les questions argumentatives). / Although counter-discourse - or the Qur'&#257;n's quotation of opponents real or fictitious - is a fundamental characteristic of the Qur&#257;nic rhetoric, it has never been systematically studied. This PhD seeks to partly fill in this gap. For this purpose, our work will propose a localization, a quantification and a categorization of the phenomenon in the Qur&#257;nic corpus. The investigation will attempt to answer the following questions : how the Qur'anic discourse rejects the words that denies itself ? What are the discursive strategies in place ? What are the representations of the opponents ? This work will use multidisciplinary science of history of religions, theories of linguistics (polyphony, intertextuality, and reported speech) and science of argumentation and rhetoric.
