  European Muslim's Participation in (New) Media

  The increasing growth of the Internet is reshaping Islamic communities worldwide. Non-conventional media and social networks such as Facebook and Twitter are becoming more popular among the Muslim youth as among all parts of the society. The new channels of information and news attract new Muslim publics in Europe. The profile of the people using these networks range from college students to Islamic intellectual authorities. Such an easy and speedy way of connecting to millions of people across the globe also attracts the attention of social movements, which utilize these networks to spread their message to a wider public. Many Muslim networks and social movements, political leaders, Islamic institutions and authorities use these new media spaces to address wider Muslim and also non-Muslim communities, it is not uncommon that they also address and reach certain so-called radical groups.

  Islam and Regional Cultures in Pakistan

  Journée du CEIAS

  With the hope of throwing new light on the transformations of Pakistani society, this one-day conference intends to move the focus away from two dominant discourses on Pakistan : that is, on the one hand, the security discourse of political and media circles that reduces Pakistan to a state on the fringe of failure, trying to cope with radical Islam and terrorism; and, on the other hand, Pakistan’s official nationalism, which rests on a unitary conception of the nation that disregards the cultural and religious diversity of the country, stressing instead Islam and Urdu as national unifiers while relegating regional cultures to folklore. This conference hopes to partly fill this gap by inviting participants to illustrate the complex, lived experience of Islam in Pakistan, the identity component of religious practices that do not fit in the dominant norm, and their inscription in local political and ethnic relations. Papers would ideally use first-hand observation and/or analyses of cultural productions to examine circumscribed case studies.

  Tradition(s) : au-delà des idées reçues

  L'association des étudiant-e-s des cycles supérieurs en sociologie à l'université de Montréal lance un appel à communication pour son 9ème colloque annuel qui aura lieu le 14 mars 2014, sur le thème d'une réflexion sur le concept de tradition. Comment s'articulent tradition et rapports de pouvoir ? Quelle est la force coercitive des traditions ? Quelle place occupent les traditions religieuses, militantes, culturelles, etc. dans nos vies ? Peut-on comprendre la référence aux traditions dans le cadre d’une critique du capitalisme ? Comment revaloriser les savoirs et savoir-faire qualifiés de traditionnels qui ont été délégitimés par le colonialisme ? Finalement, quels sont les apports et les limites de l'inscription dans des traditions intellectuelles et théoriques ?

  Diversité et recompositions du protestantisme à Paris

  Ce colloque a pour objectif de réfléchir aux recompositions contemporaines du protestantisme à Paris et en proche banlieue, dans un contexte urbain marqué par d’importantes mobilités (géographiques et religieuses), des contraintes spécifiques (cherté et pénurie de locaux) et une forte dimension symbolique, qui nourrit des revendications de visibilité dans l’espace public. Paris constitue ainsi un terrain d’observation privilégié des nouveaux enjeux posés à la laïcité française, en termes de gestion des diversités et de régulation des manifestations religieuses dans l’espace urbain. La démarche retenue est pluridisciplinaire, associant historiens, juristes, politistes, anthropologues et sociologues et combinant des approches quantitatives et qualitatives.
