Les reformulations identitaires du zaydisme dans leur contexte socio-politique contemporain

摘要

This article deals with the mechanisms of collective stigmatization affecting people of a particular persuasion and social status (Zaydis and especially the sada), in the context of a war that is hardly ever heard of (the war on Sa`da) despite the thousands of casualties and the hundreds of thousands of people displaced. In order to do so, we have sought to draw an outline of the ideological and media climate the war carries with it. Then, by basing our study on the lives of those players having to bear the stigmata mechanism, we have shown the extent of the reactive statement to the identity assertion, as well as its limits; thus demonstrating that the reactive sectarian stance isn`t the only possible stance, that it doesn`t have to be that way, and that a plurality of obedience plurality is sometimes possible. Finally, we conclude this article by emphasizing the historic aspect of Zaydi identity.
