  Algeria and the Ottoman Empire - new critical approaches, new historical approaches

  Nouvelles approches critiques, nouveaux regards d'historiens

  Ce numéro thématique de la revue NAQD entend proposer un regard critique sur l'histoire et l'historiographie de la période ottomane en Algérie et se faire l'écho de nouvelles approches et interprétations. L'idée est pour ce numéro de soumettre à l'analyse critique les paradigmes issus de l'histoire coloniale et de la narration nationale par une méthode de recherche située au plus près des sources et s'attachant à ne prendre aucune des causalités interprétatives anciennes pour stable ou définitive.

  The Ganden Phrodang Army and Buddhist

  TibArmy symposium

  A number of publications have addressed the question of the coexistence of Buddhism and violence, ultimately concluding that there is no paradox between the two. In various cultural and historical contexts in Asia, the presence of Buddhism as the state religion has often involved the recourse to violence and the maintenance of an army as a necessity of government. Likewise, the policies of Buddhist rulers have repeatedly invoked religious reasons to justify military activities aimed at defending the Dharma. We invite research contributions based on primary sources illustrating the role of the Tibetan Army vis-à-vis different aspects of the Buddhist religion during the historical period of the Ganden Phodrang.
