The mosques of the Djebel Nafūsa, little known and under threat, personify the continuity of traditions and faith of the Ibadites, who have retained their grip over the centuries on this rugged landscape, despite their many trials and tribulations. This book is the result of a mission carried out in 2010 with the photographer Axel Derriks and examines twenty or so mosques, bringing to light their architectural features and linking them to medieval Ibadite texts.

Dans le sillage du Service Civique, les dispositifs d'engagement rencontrent un franc succès auprès des jeunes et des associations. Si la dimension militante de cet engagement est réelle, notamment parce qu'elle répond au désir de proximité des jeunes, ce succès souligne aussi les besoins d'insertion, notamment professionnelle, et d'acquisition de compétences que ne délivre pas le système scolaire. Dès lors, la question des plus vulnérables, qui ne disposent pas toujours des ressources pour « s'engager » doit amener à une réflexion sur l'universalité de ces dispositifs, notamment en s'appuyant davantage sur l'école.

In order to understand the use of identity in Congress, I present a content analysis of 701 one-minute speeches from the House of Representatives given during the 116 th session (2019-2020). I test two hypotheses, one being that congresswomen are more likely than congressmen to use or invoke their personal experiences, and to show agency through self-reference and self-identity language. I also expect women to use explicit references to their gender role (i.e. "as a woman/man," "as a mother/father," etc.,) more often than other roles (i.e. career or some other personal capacity). The second hypothesis is that congresswomen are more likely to use the above styles of agency and identity authority on topics that are often seen as women's issues, compared to other speech topics. I coded speeches using a keyword dictionary of gender stereotyped roles and norms that are considered self-identifying or self-referential (e.g. "as a mother/father"). I also counted career references and other references to personal capacities. The results show that both congressmen and congresswomen tend to neglect referencing their gender or gender roles in their one-minute speeches, while career references are more common for both congressmen and congresswomen. I do find that congresswomen's use of agency in speeches were more likely on issues categorized as traditional women's issues. This research updates our understanding of when and how politicians use gender references and identity references in the Congress with the highest ever share of women House members.
