Sommario/riassunto

Les attentats du 11 septembre 2001 ont brutalement posé la question des libertés politiques dans le monde arabe. Ces pays musulmans ne seraient-ils que des « démocraties sans démocrates » ? La frustration de populations réprimées serait-elle une cause de la « violence islamiste » ? L’Occident voit dans la réforme de ces régimes autoritaires les prémices d’un rempart contre l’hyperterrorisme. Il cherche à



convaincre – par la force si besoin – les gouvernements arabes d’organiser des élections, d’améliorer le statut de la femme, de protéger les minorités… bref, de s’ouvrir à la démocratie. Démarche difficile s’il en est car, au xxie siècle, la notion de pouvoir en islam fait toujours débat, en particulier en raison de l’imbrication du religieux et du politique.  Cet ouvrage vient précisément éclairer la place du politique en « terre d’islam » sous différents angles – histoire, anthropologie, sociologie, science politique. Il dresse un tableau vivant de la situation au Maroc, en Égypte, en Arabie saoudite, en Iran et en Turquie.

Sommario/riassunto

Although the theoretical importance of dance has always been recognized, dance has been relatively neglected in the philosophy of art. In this sequel to Off the Ground, in which Professor Sparshott focused on the concept of dance in general, A Measured Pace considers the recognized classification of dance as art, its values, and relationship to the other arts. Sparshott begins with an explanation of the philosophical importance of the major classifications of dance and their basis. He examines dance as a mimetic and expressive medium, and reviews the major dimensions of dance form. He then explores the relationship of dance to three related fields: music, language, and theatre. Sparshott also discusses the major philosophical problems of dance as an art: the specific values of dance; the relation between the way the audience perceives dance and the dancer's self-perception; the ways in which dancing and dances are learned; the division of artistic creation between choreographers and performers; and the ways in which dances are identified and retain their identity through time. A concluding chapter on how dances are recorded considers how the media may change the nature of dance. A Measured Pace is a wide-



ranging and substantial contribution to a philosophical understanding of dance.
