    Negative Knowledge

    L’avènement de la modernité s’est accompagné d’une critique radicale de la métaphysique traditionnelle. Depuis les Lumières (notamment françaises) et plus encore avec Nietzsche et sa déconstruction des « Hinterweltler », la quête de justifications ultimes (Letztbegründungen) ou de connaissances transcendant l’immanence est devenue une entreprise largement suspecte. Si le rétablissement de systèmes métaphysiques aspirant à « expliquer tout », comme le formulait Kierkegaard avec ironie, ne semble aujourd’hui ni possible ni souhaitable, se pose toutefois la question de savoir s’il reste légitime de poser des questions métaphysiques dans l’ère post-métaphysique, et sous quelle forme.

    Gesture and Belief: routes, transfers and intermediality

    In the last decades, the body’s role and its agency have gained new centrality in the analysis of the religious experience. Through its connection with materiality, the religious expression surpasses the spiritual to be understood as a chain of relationships and encounters between bodies, objects and sensory stimuli. Accordingly, under the premise of “routes, transfers and intermediality”, this event seeks innovative readings on subjects that discuss, question and rethink dynamics of circulation, transmission and alterity, through an exchange of ideas and objects of study, which crosses borders and disciplines.

    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.

    Theologies post Jean-Marc and what his work has lest to posterity

    Quelles postérités de son œuvre théologique ?

    Dix ans après la mort de Jean-Marc Ela, le 26 décembre 2008, à Vancouver au Canada, son œuvre inspire les champs aussi variés que la théologie, la sociologie, la philosophie, l’histoire, l’anthropologie, l’économie, la politique, la culture, la démographie, l’écologie et la science. Aux dix ans de la mort de J.-M. Ela, le colloque international a pour but d’appréhender son œuvre dans son intégralité et dans toute sa diversité en la plaçant dans la trame de ses relations multiples (théologiques, sociales, religieuses, éthiques, politiques) et en actualisant son approche de la libération et ses postérités.
