    Les mardis des Bernardins (2014-2015)

    Porter un regard neuf sur de grands thèmes collectifs, penser autrement la place de l’homme dans la société et interpréter les grandes transformations de nos civilisations à la lumière de la sagesse chrétienne, voici quelques-uns des défis qui animent, chaque semaine, les équipes des mardis des Bernardins. Pour départager l’information superficielle des enjeux véritables, pour dégager des perspectives et anticiper l’avenir, ces tables rondes n’ont qu’un seul parti pris : replacer l’homme au centre des enjeux de notre temps.

    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

    CEIAS conference

    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.

    Eric de Rosny's gaze

    Eric de Rosny, prêtre jésuite, partit exercer son métier d’enseignant au Cameroun, au collège Libermann de Douala, à la fin des années 50. Il y resta quasiment jusqu’à sa mort, qui survint en mars 2012, lors d’un séjour de convalescence à Lyon. Durant ce demi-siècle, il a su développer un regard et une connaissance qui le firent reconnaître comme un « sage » et un « honnête homme », tant dans la communauté douala, dans la communauté chrétienne, que dans la communauté scientifique internationale. Ce colloque, organisé en sa mémoire, s’attache à éclairer la singularité de sa recherche et, dans ce sillage, à développer ses apports dans le champ de la connaissance. Chaque communication proposées pour être présentées lors de ce colloque s’articulera autour de deux axes : les thèmes de recherche et de connaissance développés par Éric de Rosny ; et la nature de son regard, « porteur » de ces connaissance.
