Summary: | Historicity of the norm: from legal positivism in Islamic sciences to the anthropology of Islande norm. B. Dupret. Legal islamology has made a great deal of work, though it reveals a lack of concern for the historical setting of normative practices and discourses. It quickly shifts to the construction of an Islamic political and legal specificity, thus backing a type of culturalism which, with regard to sharî'a makes thinking that its present practice is transhistorically founded. However, a contextualised reading allows referring the constitution of a theoretical body to the embedding of individuals in socio-political games partly determining the problems they have to cope with and their attempts to answer them. This is where the idea of substantialisation of norms comes from. The focus on the work and the trajectory of three Coranic exegetes, Fakhr al-Dîn al-Râzî, Rashîd Ridâ et Sayyid Qutb, who can be considered as archetypes, constitutes the backbone of an attempt to demonstrate the formal nature of Islamic reference and the variability of its practical investment.
