  Judicial cooperation from the 16th century to the present day

  Between State sovereignty and publich safety

  Si depuis un vingtaine d'années, l'histoire du droit de punir fournit l'un des chantiers les plus féconds de l'historiographie, les normes et les pratiques de la coopération judiciaire entre les Etats souverains demeurent largement méconnues. De la construction de l'Etat moderne jusqu'aux processus contemporains d'intégration, la journée d'études du 21 février 2014 est donc ouverte à toutes les recherches historiques sur la coopération judiciaire et les champs d'intervention qui la rendent possible (diplomatie, justice, police).

  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.
