    Religion and state: the logic of secularisation and Islamic citizenship

    L’objectif de ce colloque est de fournir des clés de compréhension des transformations des sociétés arabo-musulmanes qui correspondent à maints égards à des formes alternatives et endogènes de sécularisation et de citoyenneté. Autrement dit, de nombreux observateurs sont actuellement confrontés à une réalité empirique – notamment les bouleversements sociopolitiques survenus en 2011 dans le monde arabe – face à laquelle ils constatent un déficit d’énoncés théoriques et de concepts opératoires. La finalité de ce colloque est de regrouper sous une thématique commune, celle des logiques de la sécularisation et de la citoyenneté, un certain nombre d’hypothèses et de travaux exploratoires.

    Contemporary Religious Movements: From Africa to the Americas and Back

    The transatlantic movement of beliefs and of religious practices dates back to the earliest days of the “discovery” of the Americas. Since then, there have been over five hundred years of exchange between the two sides of the Atlantic. In many cases, religious movements brought to the New World by European and African migrants were among those persecuted by the hegemonic religious institutions as heretic or pagan. Sometimes, the crossing to the New World has brought about transformation of old belief systems, leading to the creation of so- called “syncretistic” movements, such as Haitian Voodoo, Rastafarianism, Candomblé, etc. To these, we might add the Pentecostal wave, which in recent decades has been sweeping across both Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa, transforming the religious landscapes.
