In October 2014, a 19-year female Syrian tweeter known as Ahlam al-Nasr announced her departure from her home in Saudi Arabia and settlement in the territories held by the Islamic State Organisation (iso). As a piece of propaganda, Ahlam's account of this jihadi migration tells as much about the author's personality as about the kind of subjectivitiesisois trying to appeal to. Ahlam appears as a strongly individualist figure as she forcefully asserts ownership of her life plan despite the fact that it was decided with her family's consent. The reasons she give to account for her migration, and to encourage her readers to follow suit, also testify to an individualist break with previous rationales for transnational jihad: jihad in Syria is not about helping coreligionist in distress, but rather about participating in the edification of an ideal Islamic State that offers attractive opportunities of self-accomplishment.

Shaykh Naʿim al-ʿArqsusi is one of Damascus's most popular Muslim scholars. A leading figure of a local Islamic movement called Jamaʿat Zayd (Zayd's Group), he is widely praised for his knowledge, modesty, and asceticism. Every week, this frail, short-bearded fifty-six-year-old attracts several thousand people to the huge concrete al-Iman mosque next to Baʿth party headquarters in the middle-class neighborhood of al-Mezraʿa.

International audience ; La guerre qui ravage la Syrie depuis 2011 est l'une des grandes questions internatio- nales de la décennie et, à ce titre, a attiré sur le pays l'attention de nombreux chercheurs, qu'ils soient universitaires ou, plus fréquemment, experts de think tanks. À l'orée du conflit, cette expertise se développe très majoritairement dans des institutions occidentales plutôt que syriennes ou arabes. C'est là une manifestation typique des inégalités Nord-Sud qui est toutefois fortement accentuée, dans le cas syrien, par les entraves que le régime a traditionnellement opposées au développement des études politiques dans le pays. Après 2011, toutefois, la situation évolue progressivement avec l'émergence, dans divers pays du Moyen-Orient, de structures à même d'employer le nombre croissant d'expatriés syriens désireux d'étudier les dynamiques politiques de leur pays.
