  Racialization and othering in the context of mobilities: a focus on the Globalized South

  Special Issue of the "Civilisations" Journal, vol. 68 (2019)

  This special issue proposes to understand the multiple transnational circulations of the processes of othering and racialization in postcolonial contexts by shifting the gaze through the category “Globalized South”. By “Globalized South”, we refer to a set of geopolitical areas - interconnected through colonial histories and/or economic and social structural transformations. We prefer this category over others (like “Developing countries” or “Southern countries”) because it points out the dynamics and reconfigurations structuring the relations of domination at the global scale. By adopting this category, we accentuate the social processes that (re)produce the power relations in contemporary societies. In general, this special issue intends to gather papers that focus on the making of racialized identity and otherness in the context of mobilities in the globalized South.

  Spectres of erudition

  Un « spectre » nous hante encore dès lors que nous tentons de concevoir et de définir l’érudition sous ses formes contemporaines. Ce spectre est celui de la religion. Il s’agira d’approfondir cette hypothèse en cherchant à explorer, sous une forme comparatiste ouverte à d’autres traditions religieuses, à des périodes historiques plus anciennes, à des terrains actuels, et à l’incidence que peuvent revêtir ces possibles croisements, quatre aspects de cette « matrice » religieuse de l’érudition : les lieux de savoir, les dispositifs pédagogiques, les gestes et les outils mobilisés, et enfin l’imaginaire savant.
