Arguing Islam after the Rebirth of Arab Politics analyzes the politics of religion in the Arab world after the emergence of new public spheres over the past few decades. The book examines those spheres as they really are, not measuring them against any ideal of democratic deliberation, and show how they are lively and increasingly participatory but also polarizing, divisive, and far from egalitarian. And while they have grown in force, they are not efficacious, leading to a widening gap between regimes and the societies they govern. Focusing on arguments aired in new and old media, neighborhood discussions, and parliaments, Arguing Islam After the Revival of Arab Politics probes in special depth debates over constitution, family law, and education. It shows how these various places where arguments take place are increasingly linked, forming not a uniformed citizenry but instead a badly divided one in which a leader's words to followers are overheard and then lampooned by opponents and various groups become aware of how deeply they differ. Arguments are detached from the authority of the person making them. Without a strong political process to forge agreement and reward coalition building, the reborn Arab politics is exciting and vital but also noisy and rough.

In Aesthetics in Arabic Thought from Pre-Islamic Arabia through al-Andalus José Miguel Puerta Vílchez analyzes the discourses about beauty, the arts, and sense perception that arose within classical Arab culture from pre-Islamic poetry and the Quran (sixth-seventh centuries CE) to the Alhambra palace in Granada (fourteenth century CE). He focuses on the contributions of such great thinkers as Ibn Ḥazm, Avempace, Ibn Ṭufayl, Averroes, Ibn ʻArabī, and Ibn Khaldūn in al-Andalus, and the Brethren of Purity, al-Tawḥīdī, al-Fārābī, Avicenna, Alhazen, and al-Ghazālī in the East. The work also explores literary criticism, calligraphy, music, belles-lettres (adab), and erotic literature, and highlights the contribution of Arab humanism to shaping the field of Aesthetics in the West

Véritable boîte à outils pour suivre l'actualité politique arabe, cet ouvrage s'appuie sur l'histoire longue des pays d'Afrique du Nord et du Moyen-Orient afin d'en expliquer les dernières crises : soulèvements de 2011, chute de régimes autoritaires, émergence de Daech, affrontements confessionnels, etc. Mêlant synthèse de la recherche académique, cartes ou anecdotes de terrain, ce manuel de politique arabe décrypte l'évolution d'une région fragmentée, dont le destin est plus que jamais lié à celui de l'Europe. Le Maghreb reste un voisin mal connu. Les conflits en Syrie, en Libye et au Yémen, ou encore la reconquête irakienne contre Daech, amplifient la perception européenne d'un espace constamment en guerre. Les fortunes du Golfe alimentent les polémiques sur le rôle de ces pays dans l'économie mondiale et dans la diffusion de conceptions religieuses rigoristes. S'il faut comprendre les conflits autant que la place de la religion dans les pays arabes, il est aussi important de porter son regard au-delà des chocs les plus spectaculaires. Derrière les violences qui crèvent l'écran, les sociétés se transforment en silence et dessinent tant bien que mal leur avenir.
