“Not Losing Faith in the Imamate ”: How Volunteer Imams in France Maintain Their “Vocation.”
Open accessAbstract
En France, l’imamat permet d’exercer une autorité morale donnant accès à certaines gratifications symboliques et/ou financières. Mais ceux qui occupent ce rôle expérimentent aussi des situations difficiles : menaces d’expulsion, surveillance policière, surveillance communautaire, etc. Dans le cas des imams bénévoles se surajoutent aussi potentiellement les tensions familiales et professionnelles. Un tel constat invite à s’interroger sur la manière dont se maintient l’engagement dans l’imamat, en se demandant comment certains individus, surtout lorsqu’ils agissent bénévolement, parviennent à entretenir, pour eux-mêmes comme pour les autres, la croyance dans le bien fondé d’être et de rester imam (i.e. d’agir et de se définir durablement comme tel). Après avoir présenté, d’une part, les différentes catégories d’incidences biographiques que génère ce type de militantisme et, d’autre part, les possibles rétributions symboliques qui y sont attachées, cet article tentera donc de comprendre comment rétributions et désagréments attachés à cet engagement prennent sens en fonction des trajectoires et des socialisations militantes.

“They therefore often appear as teacher-chaplains, in reference to the figure of the Imam teacher (Jouanneau 2011) who is in charge of ensuring the prisoners' good knowledge of religion.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
