Birth of the Front Islamique du Salut in Algeria: A Politicization Riddled by Conflict (1988-1989) T his article sets out to examine the founding of a political party, the FIS, by combining a configurational approach and an analysis in terms of the social construction of organizations. It first retraces the networks that presided over its structuring into a party, emphasizing in particular the biographies of its founders and their common experiences of socialization in the field of religious activism. The study of their positive perceptions of an unusual national political juncture and competition within the religious sphere enlightens understanding of the practical and symbolic advantages of organizing as a party at a given point in time. Finally, a survey of the founders’ speeches and practices highlights the vague nature of the organization at its inception. Such perspective illustrates the intricate blending of religious and political spheres in the context of regime change in Algeria
