description This article’s objective consists in questioning the concepts used by researchers in the social sciences so as to understand radicalisation processes described as Islamic. If certain university disciplines like geopolitics or psychology propose global explanations on the subject of radicalisation, sociologists appear to be more reserved or, in any case, more moderate as to the analyses to bring to the phenomenon. For that matter, the very concept of radicalisation is provoking debate within the discipline. Indeed, the various approaches in sociology remain too compartmentalised to permit a consensual analysis of jihadism to emerge. Hence the task here is one of proposing an inventory of some of the concepts mobilized in the social sciences on urban revolts in order to take a step back from the overarching interpretations of the phenomenon. Thus the concepts expo­sed here may not only clarify certain aspects of this complex object in analysing the paths of jihadists more closely, but also demonstrate complementarity with a view to enriching our knowledge of a controversial phenomenon.
