  The making of Muslim chaplaincies in prisons

  Comparative approaches

  In France, prison chaplain activities are currently under hitherto unforeseen scrutiny in the scope of public action and academic fields. This renewed interest in an institution that seemed to be on the verge of falling into disuse little more than two decades ago in France, can be explained by the upheaval that the religious profile of inmates has undergone in the past three or four decades. Moreover Muslim chaplains have been seen as a policy tool for preventing radicalisation.In a context where there is widespread interest in the role chaplains could play in the fight against the swing to violent extremism, this symposium will seek to review the way in which Muslim actors in France and in other countries have made use of this institution even though it does not belong to their own religious tradition.

  Norms, exclusions, and conversations in the public space

  L’espace public fait lien, rassemble, produit du commun mais il est aussi le lieu de l’expression du dissensus et de l’exclusion. Lieu de l’expérimentation sociale, l’espace public est un lieu de règlementation des pratiques et de consensus mais également le site d’élaboration de nouvelles normes. De nouvelles formes d’expressions individuelles émergent publiquement et interrogent les normes hégémoniques de l’espace public. À cet égard, les doctorant·e·s vont débattre les transformations de l’espace public autour des catégories de l’ethnie, de la religion et de la sexualité.
