Une enquête inédite au coeur du pays réel. Qui sont désormais les « cathos » ? D'où viennent-ils, que disent-ils, quels sont leurs combats ? C'est en spécialiste de l'opinion que Jérôme Fourquet répond à cette question. Mais aussi en historien et en politologue. Son constat est sans appel : les catholiques se sentent minoritaires. Mais malgré un net recul sociologique, ils n'ont pas dit leur dernier mot. Et il faudra compter, à l'avenir, avec leur force de mobilisation. Un document exclusif. Directeur du Département Opinion et Stratégies d'Entreprise de l'IFOP, Jérôme Fourquet est l'auteur de nombreux livres sur l'état de la société française, dont le bestseller, L'Archipel français.

'Billionaires in World Politics' shows how the privatisation of politics assumes a new dimension when billionaires wield power in world politics, which requires a re-thinking of individual agency in International Relations. Structural changes (globalisation, neoliberalism, competition states, and global governance) have generated new opportunities for individuals to become extremely rich and to engage in politics across borders. The political agency of billionaires is being conceptualised in terms of capacities, goals, and power, which is contingent upon the specific political field a billionaire is trying to enter. Six case studies explore the power of billionaires in their pursuit of security, wealth, and esteem.

Today, social media offers an alternative broadcast and communication medium for nonprofit advocacy organizations. At the same time, social media ushers in a "noisy" information era that renders it more difficult for nonprofits to make their voices heard. This book seeks to unpack the prevalence, mechanisms, and ramifications of a new model for nonprofit advocacy in a social media age. The keyword for this new model is attention. Advocacy always starts with attention: when an organization speaks out on a cause, it must ensure that it has an audience and that its voice is heard by that audience; it must ensure that current and potential supporters are paying attention to what it has to say before expecting more tangible outcomes. Yet the organization must also ensure that advocacy does not end with attention: attention should serve as a springboard to something greater. The authors elaborate how attention fits into contemporary organizations' advocacy work and explain the key features of social media that are driving the quest for attention. Developing conceptual models, they explain why some organizations and messages gain attention while others do not. Lastly, the book explores how organizations are weaving together online and offline efforts to deliver strategic advocacy outcomes.

Sufism is typically thought of as the mystical side of Islam. In recent years, it has been held up as a supposedly peaceful alternative to the spread of forms of Islam associated with violence, an embodiment of democratic ideals of tolerance and pluralism. Are Sufis in fact as otherworldy and apolitical as this stereotype suggests?Modern Sufis and the State brings together a range of scholars, including anthropologists, historians, and religious-studies specialists, to challenge common assumptions that are made about Sufism today. Focusing on India and Pakistan within a broader global context, this book provides locally grounded accounts of how Sufis in South Asia have engaged in politics from the colonial period to the present. Contributors foreground the effects and unintended consequences of efforts to link Sufism with the spread of democracy and consider what roles scholars and governments have played in the making of twenty-first-century Sufism. They critique the belief that Salafism and Sufism are antithetical, offering nuanced analyses of the diversity, multivalence, and local embeddedness of Sufi political engagements and self-representations in Pakistan and India. Essays question the portrayal of Sufi shrines as sites of toleration, peace, and harmony, exploring cases of tension and conflict. A wide-ranging interdisciplinary collection, Modern Sufis and the State is a timely call to think critically about the role of public discourse in shaping perceptions of Sufism.

Saintes en armes, combattantes, militantes, émeutières, résistantes, activistes luttant contre le patriarcat, la domination masculine, la violence sexuelle ou sexiste, le capitalisme, le pouvoir politique, l’esclavage ou la colonisation, mais aussi terroristes, kamikazes, gardiennes de camps, femmes soldats ou délinquantes… La violence manifestée par certaines femmes revient au sein de notre actualité mondialisée, au risque d’éclipser la violence faite aux femmes. Preuve qu’elle marque les esprits et frappe les imaginaires, aujourd’hui comme hier : de victimes expiatoires, ces femmes deviennent des bourreaux désignés. Cette violence revendiquée a pourtant été longtemps occultée par une histoire écrite par des hommes, soucieuse de perpétuer un mythe de l’innocence féminine, socle du modèle patriarcal, car il permettait de reléguer les femmes dans des tâches subalternes. Si les violences domestiques (infanticide, crime passionnel, violence conjugale), secrètes (empoisonneuse, traîtresse, usurpatrice) ou déviantes (sorcière, criminelle, violeuse, veuve noire, femme fatale) sont aujourd’hui mieux connues, il semble que la violence politique commise au sein de l’espace public, qu’elle ait ou non une visée émancipatrice, le soit moins. Elle s’exprime pourtant au grand jour, activant des stéréotypes dépréciatifs tenaces (vénéneuse, poissarde, tricoteuse, incendiaire, virago, pétroleuse, vitrioleuse, suffragette), destinés à évacuer la femme d’une sphère publique où sa place n’est pas considérée comme acquise. Cet ouvrage met en évidence un inconscient culturel, puissant à l’œuvre dans nos représentations collectives : il identifie les origines antiques, souvent mythifiées de ces femmes d’action, leurs mutations au cours de l’histoire et leur résurgence ambivalente au sein de notre monde contemporain, afin de saisir une question qui interroge notre modernité au regard de son histoire.
