Title of the lecture : ‘The «Us» Against the «Others», the Populist Political Style of the Islamist party the PJD’
How do religious actors understand an increasingly globalised and pluralistic world? Do they accept the “other”? Do they accept its societal dynamics? Or do they resist these dynamics by taking refuge in identity values rooted in religion?
In order to answer these questions, I would like to analyse the political discourse of the Justice and Development Party (PJD), a political party with an Islamic reference that has been in power since the legislative elections of 2011 in Morrocco. Within this discourse, one can mainly note how the people, homogeneous in their religious values, are presented in opposition to the other, to the ‘threatening and heterogeneous outside’ and to an elite that has abandoned these same values.
Lecture given at the 3rd International Congress of the PLURIEL network, 23-27 May 2022 in Beirut.
In partnership with Saint Joseph University of Beirut and La Sagesse University.
Titre de la conférence : “Le « nous » contre les « autres », le style politique populiste du parti islamiste le PJD”
Comment les acteurs religieux conçoivent-ils un monde de plus en plus globalisé et pluraliste? Acceptent-ils « l’autre » ? Assument-ils ses dynamiques sociétales ? Ou au contraire résistent-ils à ces dynamiques en se refugiant dans des valeurs identitaires enracinées dans la religion ?
Pour répondre à ces questions je voudrais analyser le discours politique du Parti de la justice et du développement (PJD marocain), un parti politique à référence islamique et qui est au pouvoir depuis les élections législatives de 2011. Au sein de ce discours on note principalement comment le peuple, homogène dans ses valeurs religieuses, est présenté par opposition à l’autre, à « l’extérieur menaçant et hétérogène » et à une élite qui a abandonné ces mêmes valeurs.
Conférence donnée lors du 3è congrès international du réseau PLURIEL, du 23 au 27 mai 2022 à Beyrouth.
En partenariat avec l’Université Saint Joseph de Beyrouth et l’Université La Sagesse.
