Presentation

Trained in political science at La Sorbonne and UdeM, I am interested, through my research, in protest dynamics in the Middle East. While the Lebanese Thawra movement failed to overthrow the regime, I explore the non-structural consequences of the revolutionary situation by focusing on the trajectories of the movement's actors. In doing so, I question the concepts that allow us to think about revolutionary processes, the recompositions that they impose and the reinvestment of representative institutions by the actors of Thawra.
