Résumé anglais François Georgeon. On modernism in Azerbaijan at the turn of the century. The paper deals with Azeri involvement in the jadid movement. After pointing out the main components of the condition of the Azeri community towards the end of the nineteenth century — impact of shicism, Ottoman influences, rivalries with the Armenians, and aftereffects of the petrol boom in Baku — , it lays stress on the cultural and scholastic revival instigated by a handful of writers, journalists, and pedagogues with the support of a few Azeri manufacturers. The revival was confirmed by the circulation of Gasprinskii's works through Transcaucasia. At the turn of the century, a person of figure, a young Azeri intellectual by name Agaev, raised the issue of woman's emancipation and the question of the individual role. Thus was sketched the frame of some modernist, enlightened, and liberal Islam, as the full expression of the ideology prevailing among Azeri bourgeoisie.
