description The popular uprisings that occurred in parts of North Africa and Middle East, as well as the plurality of issues that were raised thereafter, led to a questioning about the role of the intelligentsia in the scenario of these societies. Considering this questioning and context as starting points, the main aim of the article is to retrieve elements of one of the central debates in the so-called post-colonial maghrebi thought: the tradition x modernity debate. The aim is also to contextualize this debate specifically in the discussion about politics of identity and imagination surrounding the notion of community in its many different expressions, especially regarding the search for autonomy and the possibilities of modernization available for these societies – and the limits that emerge in this sense. To turn this possible, the reflections of two intellectuals considered as exponents of contemporary maghrebi thought – Abdallah Laroui and Mohammed Abed Al-Jabri – are converted into the primary substract for analysis. Thus, the research is based predominantly on a spatial and authorial delimitation.

Os levantes populares que ocorreram em algumas sociedades do Norte da África e do Oriente Médio e, a pluralidade de temas que deles resultou, tornaram relevante o questionamento em torno do papel da intelligentsia nessas regiões. Esse questionamento e seus contextos foram os pontos de partida desse artigo, cujo objetivo central é refletir, à luz das políticas de identidade e das propostas de “mundos imaginados”, sobre um dos elementos centrais dos debates presentes no pensamento pós-colonial maghrebino, isto é, a relação entre a tradição e a modernidade. Nesse caminho, foram problematizados os sentidos e as estratégias visando alcançar, ou obstaculizar, a autonomia nessas regiões, entre tais estratégias, a modernidade/modernização. Para tanto, adotou-se um recorte espacial e autoral no processo de interpretação das fontes primárias, ou seja, de algumas obras de dois expoentes do pensamento maghrebino contemporâneo, a saber: Abdallah Laroui e Mohamed Abed Al-Jabria. 2017-07-05 2022-03-18T16:17:30Z 2022-03-18T16:17:30Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/article/view/10053 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/61395 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/article/view/10053/6608 Copyright (c) 2017 Perspectivas: Revista de Ciências Sociais application/pdf Universidade Estadual Paulista / UNESP Perspectivas: Revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 46 (2015) 1984-0241 0101-3459
