Les sciences humaines et sociales sont en première ligne pour répondre à la demande sociale – mais aussi à celle des pouvoirs publics – d’une meilleure compréhension de ces phénomènes complexes et d’une réflexion sur les moyens de s’en protéger. Le CNRS a pris, depuis bientôt trois ans, plusieurs initiatives pour contribuer à une meilleure connaissance de ces phénomènes : il a largement contribué à la rédaction du rapport de l’Alliance Athéna sur « Les recherches sur les radicalisations » (mars 2016) ; il a également mis en place un appel inédit, à la suite des attentats de Paris et Saint-Denis, intitulé « Appel attentats-recherche », lancé le 18 novembre 2015 par une lettre publique du président Fuchs. Cet appel a connu un vif succès. Près de 250 chercheurs ou enseignants-chercheurs ont déposé un projet et 66 d’entre eux ont été retenus et financés. Certaines contributions de ce numéro des Cahiers des IFRE en sont au moins partiellement issues. Plusieurs réponses à cet appel ont en effet été déposées par des membres des UMIFRE d’Afrique, du Moyen-Orient et d’Asie ou d’anciens chercheurs de ces unité ; ils ont pu appuyer leur projet sur l’expérience accumulée lors de leur séjour dans ces centres français à l’étranger de l’InSHS et du Ministère de l’Europe et des Affaires étrangères. Car, au-delà des approches théorique ou généraliste, la complexité des processus de radicalisation appelle, plus que jamais, des recherches de terrain attentives à la singularité des situations et des parcours pour comprendre les mécanismes à l’œuvre qui conduisent un individu ou un groupe à l’extrémisme violent. De ce point de vue, l’existence du dispositif des UMIFRE constitue un atout irremplaçable : il permet aux chercheurs et enseignants-chercheurs de déployer sur une, deux, trois voire quatre années leur projet de recherche et d’acquérir une connaissance profonde des sociétés qu’ils côtoient, tout en bénéficiant d’un cadre institutionnel stable, qui leur permet de travailler dans des conditions satisfaisantes dans des pays parfois fragiles ou sur des questions sensibles. Le colloque franco-russo-américain organisé au CNRS en juin 2017 autour de l’« extrémisme violent » a bien mis en évidence l’avantage comparatif que peut constituer, pour la recherche française, l’existence d’un tel réseau d’unités à l’étranger. Ce quatrième numéro des Cahiers des IFRE, par la variété des espaces considérés et la pluralité des approches scientifiques, démontre largement les vertus d’une longue fréquentation du terrain par des séjours pluriannuels et/ou répétés tout au long de la carrière d’un(e) chercheur(e) au sein de ces unités et ses bénéfices en termes de résultats de la recherche. C’est aussi, à l’occasion des dix ans des UMIFRE et de la collaboration entre le CNRS et le MEAE, une très belle illustration des mérites d’un dispositif scientifique hors normes.

Sadri ©2009 Chadia Louai ii ABSTRACT The Clash of Civilization thesis by Samuel Huntington and the claims of other scholars such as Bernard Lewis reinforced the impression in the West that the Arab world is a homogeneous and rigid entity ready to clash with other civilizations. In fact, some in the West argue that world civilizations have religious characteristics, for that reason the fundamental source of conflict in this new world will be primarily cultural and religious. However, other scholars argue that there is no single Islamic culture but rather multiple types of political Islam and different perception of it.

  • Ameen Rihani: the English Manuscripts and Universalism
    Ameen F. Rihani: The English Manuscripts and Universalism In 1998 the Albert Ferris Rihani family donated to the Library of Congress facsimiles of the manuscripts of all of the English works and correspondence of pioneer Arab-American author Ameen F. Rihani (1876- 1940). The originals of these documents remain in the family museum in Freike, Lebanon. Since most scholars could not travel there to conduct research, an exception was made in Library policy that allowed the acquisition of copies while originals are extant. In the 1998 negotiations, Ramzi Rihani represented the family for this Gift to the Nation. Ameen Rihani’s papers are important to the nation’s memory. He was the first American of Arab heritage to devote himself to writing literature, to publish a novel in English, and the first Arab author to write English essays, poetry, novels, short stories, art critiques and travel chronicles. He is now the author of 32 books in English, published from 1911 to 2002, his publishing life being extended already by 62 years due to the editorial efforts of the Rihani family. His writings in English mark the beginning of a body of literature that is Arab in its concern, culture and characteristic, English in language, and American in spirit and platform. He published in the United States during the first three decades of this century in many major magazines and newspapers. According to University of Pennsylvania Professor of Arabic Roger Allen, Rihani and his fellow Arab immigrants were leaders in "the literary movement that was so crucial to the life and development of certain communities in the United States (especially Brooklyn, Cincinnati and Detroit) and also to the development of cultural and literary ties to the Middle East region."1 Rihani is recognized as the founder of Arab-American literature and the forerunner of ethnic American literature written by popular Middle Eastern writers.

  • William Blake
    64 CHAPTER-II The Contemporary Philosopher of Jibran. The first half of the twentieth century, an important period in modernism in terms of artistic output, was dominated by literary giants such as Kafka, Thomas Marm, Brecht, Maupassaunt, Proust, Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Hemingway, Faulkner and many more. What is common to this avant-garde, committed or otherwise, realist or absurdist, is their distinct aversion for, in fact a virtual revolt against the romantic tradition of the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries and a Penchant for the special and ironic art where sentimentalization of all sorts is Purged and God and nature are Practically thrown out of the scheme of things. With Nietzsche's bold declaration at the end of the nineteenth century that God was dead, science displaced religion and a whole new set of values emerged. The modem modes of presentation and narrative techniques, however, somehow contributed to the great division between what is described as the highbrow and mass culture, which the post modem writing is trying, albeit pathetically to overcome. At the same time, however there was also a parallel set of writers, poet one should rather say, who, unfazed and unimpressed by the emerging anti-lyrical and anti-sentimental spirit of modemism. The so-called secular age, steadfastly continued with the metaphysical tradition but adapted their poetic forms and techniques to the modem concerns. The category of late-comers to the ideals of the nineteenth century belong to poets such as Hesse, Rlike, 65 Hofmannsthal, Eliot, Yeats, Tagore, Robert Frost and Jibran who continued to grant lyricism, idealism and spirituality a central place in their works.

  • Juhan's Jihad and the Blond Beast: Ameen Rihani Between Islamic Doctrine and Nietzschean Perspective
    -P- Rihani, Islam and Nietzsche Q8 H.,R Francesco Medici Juhan’s Jihad and the Blond Beast Ameen Rihani between Islamic Doctrine and Nietzschean Perspective Bibliography on Rihani between Islam & Nietzsche Juhan’s Jihad and the Blond Beast Ameen Rihani between Islamic Doctrine and Nietzschean Perspective Francesco Medici Member of the Kahlil Gibran International Association University of Maryland Abstract: «Who can reconcile the words of Muhammad […] with those of Zara- thustra?» wondered Ameen Rihani in his notebook on travel in Bombay, India, in September 1922 (Rihani, Ameen F. “Thus Spake Zarathustra.” The White Way and the Desert. Platform International, 2002, p. 123). The strong interest of the Lebanese Maronite Christian author in – and, according to some schol- ars, even his inclination towards – Islam is evident in several of his writings and public speeches. He was also an attentive reader of Friedrich Nietzsche, whose philosophy exerted a deep influence on him. All this is well-known, but is it possible to reconcile Islam and the German philosopher’s thought? Could Rihani achieve such a difficult aim? His references to Islamic religion and Nietzsche’s philosophy, already numerous especially in the novel The Book of Khalid, would seem to find their perfect synthesis in the novelette Juhan. Key Words: Ameen Rihani, Blond Beast, Friedrich Nietzsche, Holy War, Islam, Islamic Feminism, Jihad, Ottoman Empire, Sufism, Transvaluation of All Val- ues, Übermensch (Superman, Overman, Superhuman), Zarathustra. Nietzsche and Islam: a Probable Reception by Rihani the Novelist Between the late 19th and early 20th century, when Ameen Rihani read their English translations, none of Nietzsche’s books had found particu- lar favor with academic philosophers.

  • The Story and Legacy of Ameen Rihani's Novel The
    Submitted on: 06.06.2016 Recalling an Arab American Dream: The Story and Legacy of Ameen Rihani’s novel The Book of Khalid and The New York Public Library Raymond Pun First Year Student Success Librarian California State University, Fresno, Fresno, USA Copyright © 2016 by Raymond Pun. This work is made available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 Abstract: This paper presents the life and contributions of Ameen Rihani as a case study of public libraries’ historical efforts in supporting immigrants in America within IFLA’s context of “connections, collaboration and community.” Ameen Rihani (1876-1940) was a Lebanese- born Arab Christian who immigrated to the United States at the age of 12. One known fact was that he frequently visited the New York Public Library (NYPL) where he read many classics and studied English. Hailed as the father of Arab American literature, Rihani wrote The Book of Khalid, which is considered to be the first Arab American Novel in English. The Book of Khalid is a symbol of Rihani’s relationship with the United States and the NYPL, and reflects on the themes of political struggles and cultural challenges of immigration, urban life and authoritarianism that still exist today. Keywords: library history, Arab American studies, genealogy, American literature, and local history Introduction Throughout urban history, public libraries have played an important role in supporting our communities. Public libraries provide resources, collections, programming, and public services to all kinds of patrons. From scholars to immigrants, public libraries also foster a community of learners.

  • Ameen Rihani's the Book of Khalid and Arab Life In
    Middle East and Middle Eastern American Center (MEMEAC) 100 Years of the Arab American Novel: Ameen Rihani’s The Book of khalid and aRaB life in loweR Manhattan Presentations by Todd Fine and Akram Khater and Rami Khouri (AUB) as MC Welcoming Words by Antoine Chedid, Lebanon’s Ambassador to the U.S.A This talk will celebrate the centennial of the first Arab American novel. In 1911, Dodd, Mead, and Co. in New York City published Ameen Rihani’s The Book of Khalid, a story of two boys from Lebanon who immigrate to the Little Syria neighborhood in Lower Manhattan and peddle on the streets. After exposure to the New York artistic and cultural environment of the period, the two return to Lebanon where, inspired by their New York experiences, they transform into political and social revolutionaries and become in conflict with the ruling Ottoman Empire. The work is considered the foundation of Arab American literature and is seen as a crucial influence on Kahlil Gibran’s famous work The Prophet (1923). The New York Public Library is an especially appropriate venue as Rihani, who had no formal education, developed his literary knowledge from its holdings. With an introduction by Lebanon’s Ambassador to the U.S. Antoine Chedid, Todd Fine, director of Project Khalid will talk about Ameen Rihani and The Book of Khalid, and Dr. Khater, Professor of History at North Carolina State University will lecture about Little Syria at the turn of the twentieth century. Journalist Rami Khouri will direct discussion and questions. Todd Fine is the Director of Project Khalid, the centennial campaign for The Book of Khalid, and the editor of a new critical edition of The Book of Khalid under advance contract with Syracuse University Press.

III Dissertation Advisor: Roger Owen Author: Asher Aviad Orkaby The International History of the Yemen Civil War, 1962-68 Abstract The deposition of Imam Muhammad al-Badr in September 1962 was the culmination of a Yemeni nationalist movement that began in the 1940s with numerous failed attempts to overthrow the traditional religious legal order. Prior to 1962, both the USSR and Egypt had been cultivating alliances with al-Badr in an effort to secure their strategic interests in South Arabia. In the days following the 1962 coup d'état, Abdullah Sallal and his cohort of Yemeni officers established a republic and concealed the fate of al- Badr who had survived an assault on his Sana’a palace and whose supporters had already begun organizing a tribal coalition against the republic.
