A Critical Juncture Lived Otherwise? The Case of the ‘Cedar Revolution'
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The article presents a unique case of coalition formation and mobilisation across sectarian differences between February 14 and March 14, 2005, after the assassination of PM Rafik Hariri in Lebanon. I show that sectarianism as an analytical tool is of little use in explaining sect-based manifestations. I propose sect habitus as an alternative: where the concept of sectarianism has mainly led to investigations of its roots, the notion of sect habitus leads to study how sect identities manifest and are reproduced in daily life. Using ethnography and discourse analysis, I analyse changes in the sect habitus at the popular level.
