Sans chercher à imposer une lecture confessionnelle de ces mobilisations, il entend prendre au sérieux la plasticité du référentiel islamique dans les causes immigrées et ainsi interroger les frontières disciplinaires structurant la recherche sociologique entre études des mobilisations, des religions et des migrations.

Objets d’une étroite surveillance, les Frères sont perçus comme des éléments subversifs, dont il s’agit d’évaluer la menace posée aux intérêts britanniques et de prévenir l’expansion. Renforcé par le contexte de guerre, ce prisme sécuritaire conduit certains agents de l’ambassade et des services secrets au Caire à tenter d’encadrer le succès des Frères. Oscillant entre intérêts pragmatiques et antagonismes culturels, les répertoires d’actions et d’analyses mis en œuvre éclairent les réticences des diplomaties occidentales vis-à-vis des acteurs islamistes.
This article analyses how British authorities, diplomats and intelligence officers dealt with the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood on the Egyptian political scene during the Second World War. Subject to close surveillance, the Muslim Brotherhood were seen as subversive agents, whose threats to British interests were to be assessed with a view to containing their expansion. Bolstered by the advent of war, the British security agenda drove certain officials at its Embassy and intelligence services in Cairo to attempt to thwart the success of the Muslim Brotherhood. Oscillating between pragmatic interests and cultural tensions, the repertoire of analytical tools and actions deployed to this end helps to explain the reticent stance of Western foreign policies toward Islamist actors.

À partir d’une enquête ethnographique auprès de la Fédération musulmane de la Gironde, il s’agit de reconstituer les conditions de production d’une intermédiation communautaire, dans le cadre de fortes injonctions publiques à un islam civil. Un tel travail de conformation à une religion jugée acceptable nécessite de mobiliser diverses ressources socioculturelles, inégalement distribuées parmi les populations musulmanes.
This article studies the way in which local actors in Muslim associations strive to be recognized as respectable interlocutors by local public authorities. On the basis of an ethnographic survey carried out among members of the Muslim Federation of Gironde, we aim to reconstruct the conditions for becoming community mediators, within the context of strong public demands for a civil Islam. This work of conforming to a religion deemed to be acceptable requires the mobilization of various sociocultural resources that tend to be unequally distributed among Muslim communities.
