“…With 15 articles mentioning the term Islamophobia, only the journal Sociologie, created in 2010, has opened a space for discussion by publishing in 2014 the first special issue on Islamophobia in a French generalist journal. It includes articles on the state of the art and several case studies (Amiraux, 2014;Asal, 2014b;Beaugé and Hajjat, 2014;Cousin and Vitale, 2014;Mohammed, 2014). In other words, the debate has essentially taken place outside the legitimate spaces of sociological discussion, in specialized journals (Figure 2), most often without a rigorous peer review process (Hommes & Migrations, Migrations & Sociétés, Mouvements, Archives des sciences sociales des religions, Confluences Méditerranée), in critical intellectual journals (Monde diplomatique, Vacarme) or conservative journals (Esprit, Études, Le Débat, Commentaire, Cités), academic books in which the scientific approach is secondary (Favret-Saada, 2015; Iribarne, 2019) or the national press (Le Monde, Libération, Le Figaro, etc.…”

The aim of this article is to study the French academic controversy related to Islamophobia. It raises the general question of the autonomy of social sciences in relation to the political-media field and the capacity of researchers to be reflexive and to distance themselves from the mainstream Islamophobic discourse. Drawing on the publications produced by French academics about Islamophobia, the article first analyses the space of controversy, showing that it does not take place in the central social science journals but on their periphery, or even outside the academic field. It then focuses attention on the logic of avoiding the (rare) French accounts on Islamophobia, which not only results in a timid academic disputatio but also in a disqualification of the concept of Islamophobia that mobilizes arguments similar to political-media discourses. The tension between factual judgement and value judgement is also analysed, highlighting how researchers working on Islamophobia are charged with a lack of scientific rigour and the unacknowledged political bias of the deniers. Finally, the article highlights the instrumentalization of the reference to Pierre Bourdieu by the deniers of Islamophobia. Thus, the forms of the French academic controversy on Islamophobia are indicative of the denial of Islamophobia and the influence of the media on the academic field.

“…En varios escritos de ciencias políticas, filosofía política, historia y antropología política, la cuestión de la visibilidad ha vuelto a adquirir un lugar central dentro de los debates concernientes a la ciudadanía, sean estos relativos a la pulsión escópica concebida por Foucault (2002) y a los dispositivos de vigilancia internalizados y externalizados por el biopoder y sus implicaciones contemporáneas (Andersen y Möller, 2013;Isin y Ruppert, 2015;Krasmann, 2017), o en cuanto a las formas de auto-presentaciones y reclamaciones de reconocimiento en el espacio público y político (Amiraux, 2014;Commonwealth Foundation andCivicus, 1999, Dutt et al, 2017;García Vargas, 2000;Lucas, 2007;Montoya Ruiz, 2009;Pitseys, 2015;Taylor, 1994;Telesca, 2013). Por supuesto, el concepto de ciudadanía como modelo de organización de las relaciones entre ciertas categorías de personas consideradas como ciudadanos, es decir, que disfrutan de un estatus que les abre derechos y obligaciones hacia y dentro de la organización de la pólis, no es nada nuevo y existe desde la época griega.…”

Ciudadanía, visibilidad y multiculturalismo con respecto a lo afro en Santa Marta, Caribe colombiano

En varios escritos de ciencias políticas, filosofía política, historia y antropología política, la cuestión de la visibilidad ha adquirido un lugar central dentro de los debates relativos a la ciudadanía multicultural. En estas páginas, trataré de esclarecer los procesos de construcción cultural que están en juego en el Caribe colombiano de hoy, a través del caso de Santa Marta, tomando prestado el modelo evolutivo de la ciudadanía propuesto por T.H. Marshall. En este modelo, la fase cultural resulta ser la última de una cadena de reivindicaciones hacia un reconocimiento por parte del Estado-nación. Sin embargo, este marco sigue reproduciendo y obscureciendo una primacía fenomenológica inherente a la concepción derivada de la modernidad política, en donde el sentido de la vista – y el término resultante de “visibilidad”– se ha vuelto el único modo de categorización. En este artículo, se pretende demostrar cómo el caso de la producción de una forma de ciudadanía cultural por medio de “lo afro” en la ciudad de Santa Marta, interrumpe actualmente esta cadena fenomenológico-política, y nos faculta para imaginar otras modalidades sensoriales que lleguen a ser parte integrante de una práctica ciudadana “multicultural”.

“…Gossip, argues Amiraux, creates a "sort of authority, regardless of the initial source" (Amiraux, 2014(Amiraux, , 2016. Despite, for example, a large body of research that finds minimal evidence for the notion that women are forced to wear head coverings, and indeed in many cases their husbands/fathers ask and in some cases beg them not to, 10 the notion that Muslim women are forced by their male relatives to cover their heads and faces persists in public discourse.…”

Living Together v. Living Well Together: A Normative Examination of the SAS Case

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The European Court of Human Rights decision in SAS from France illustrates how a policy and national mantra that ostensibly aims to enhance inclusiveness, 'living together', is legally deployed in a manner that may have the opposite effect. In essence, despite acknowledging the sincerity of SAS's religious practice of wearing the niqab, and her agency in making the decision to do so, the Court focuses on radicalism and women's oppression amongst Muslims. Taking the notion of living together as the beginning point, the paper explores the normative assumptions underlying this notion as illustrated in the judgment of the Court. An alternative approach, drawing on the work of Derrida for the notion of 'living well together' will be proposed and its implications for social inclusion explicated. The paper's aim is to move beyond the specific example of SAS and France to argue that the SAS pattern of identifying particular values as 'national values', the deployment of those values through law, policy and public discourse, and their exclusionary effects is playing out in a number of Western democracies, including Canada, the country with which the author is most familiar. Because of this widespread dissemination of values and their framing as representative of who 'we' are, there is a pressing need to consider the potentially alienating effects of a specific manifestation of 'living together' and an alternative model of 'living well together'.
