| Summary: | The article analyzes how parents who use a structure for the prevention of violent radicalization in Switzerland experience and manage their child’s conversion to Islam. Based on ethnography and interviews, the study shows how conversion triggers misunderstanding, fear and a feeling of powerlessness in parents in the face of a new religious identity perceived as subversive. The analysis is based on the concept of the "revolutionary category", illustrating how conversion redefines parent-child relationships. The institution plays a regulatory role with parents by offering specialized support to help them better understand the changes they are experiencing., AbstractThe article analyzes how parents who use a structure for the prevention of violent radicalization in Switzerland experience and manage their child’s conversion to Islam. Based on ethnography and interviews, the study shows how conversion triggers misunderstanding, fear and a feeling of powerlessness in parents in the face of a new religious identity perceived as subversive. The analysis is based on the concept of the "revolutionary category", illustrating how conversion redefines parent-child relationships. The institution plays a regulatory role with parents by offering specialized support to help them better understand the changes they are experiencing. L’article analyse la manière dont les parents faisant appel à une structure de prévention des radicalisations violentes en Suisse vivent et gèrent la conversion à l’islam de leur enfant. A partir d’une ethnographie et d’entretiens, l’étude montre comment la conversion déclenche chez les parents incompréhension, peurs et sentiment d’impuissance face à une identité religieuse nouvelle et perçue comme subversive. L’analyse s’appuie sur le concept de « catégorie révolutionnaire » illustrant comment la conversion redéfinit les relations parents-enfants. L’institution joue un rôle de régulation auprès des parents en proposant un accompagnement spécialisé permettant de mieux comprendre les changements vécus. |
