Ethnographie des pratiques légales autour de la revendication des droits fonciers chez les groupes pastoraux de l’État de Khartoum by Barbara Casciarri

“…Facing during the last decade a process of land grabbing on their tribal collective lands, the Aḥāmda root their claims upon a “tribal paradigm” of the multifunctional institution of the gabīla and display an “institutional bricolage” melting various legal sources and institutions (customs, state law, Islamic law; oral/written; state courts and tribal leaderships). Their conceptualization of the ‘urf is also examined in order to seize both the embeddedness of the juridical space into a wider socio-cultural domain and the “weakness” of the Islamic reference within the context of a country in which Islamization is a longstanding process and sharīʿa the main law regime since 1989.…”

“…The revolutionary and insurrectionary eventness deployed in the Arab world since January 2011 did have, to some extent a degree of “newness” : analysts and researchers have basically endeavored to identify its manifestations in the radical appropriation of the democratic paradigm by Egyptian, Libyan or Tunisian insurgents, in the use of new globalized computer technologies, and in the absence - at least in the early stages - of seminal ideology, even of duly established leaderships in the uprisings. The radical novelty of these revolutionary processes may even have established fundamental breaking points from elements that were associated to the concept of “revolution” in the Arab world throughout the twentieth century, such as the common underlying notion of Third World, the commitment to the Palestinian cause, and finally the chiliastic and revolutionary dimension of revolutionary upheavals such as they were envisioned at that time. …”
