  Populism and religion in the hour of America

  Il y a indéniablement, dans nos démocraties, un tournant populiste qui a permis, dans de nombreux pays, l’arrivée au pouvoir de forces se réclamant du « vrai peuple » opposé à des élites expertes, corrompues, illégitimes. Ces courants populistes sollicitent diverses ressources politiques et symboliques, dont le religieux. L’objet de ce colloque est, précisément, d’aborder l’articulation entre populisme et religion.

  Medieval biblical manuscripts

  From the Thames to the Euphrates - texts, paratexts, forms and uses

  Suite à l’intérêt croissant pour l’étude des Bibles médiévales tardives, cette rencontre cherche à encourager une réflexion davantage transversale et synchronique que diachronique ou en fonction d’espaces culturels déterminés au Moyen Âge. Il s’agira de discuter en interdisciplinarité de ce qui peut être propre ou commun, de ce qui peut procéder d’un échange, d’un transfert culturel, d’un Zeitgeist.

  Philosophical Hermeneutics in the Islamicate Context

  This conference would like to engage with one specific context among all those which were and still are, as it were, “affected” by philosophical hermeneutics: the Islamicate context. The latter seems particularly relevant: on the one hand because it is intimately intertwined with the Western context; on the other hand because the Islamicate context retains a clear reference to religion that makes its entanglement with philosophical hermeneutics a burning challenge for all parties involved. The universality of the hermeneutic order should be put to the test of the Islamicate context within three different angles: the exegetical aspect, in order to see in what extend philosophical hermeneutics can contribute to rethink the understanding of the Koran in the contemporary context; the interpretative aspect, to address different contemporary attempts to reinterpret the classical – philosophical, spiritual or legal – heritage; the critical aspect, to present different political and critical issues raised by the question of the encounter between philosophical hermeneutics and Islamic thought.

  What future for the Middle East? Nation states, communities and minorities

  États nations, communautés, minorités

  En février 2016, le Collège des Bernardins avait organisé en partenariat avec iReMMO un important colloque sur la situation du monde arabe « entre rupture et renaissance ? ». Aujourd’hui, le risque de la rupture semble l’emporter sur les perspectives d’une renaissance. Les profonds bouleversements qui traversent le Proche et le Moyen-Orient ont crée une situation extrêmement complexe dans laquelle la déliquescence de certains États a atteint un point critique peut être irréversible. Il faut reposer la question suivante : les États actuels vont-ils pouvoir prendre en compte leur pluralité religieuse, ethnique, sociétale, ou allons-nous vers une recomposition à terme de cette région à partir d'une faillite irréversible des États ?

The universality of the hermeneutic order should be put to the test of the Islamicate context within three different angles: the interpretative dimension, to address contemporary thinkers from the Islamicate world who have engaged with philosophical hermeneutics; the comparative dimension, in order to deal with possible transactions on the basis of common traits and divergences; and the creative dimension, to present attempts at using philosophical hermeneutics in order to develop new interpretations of canonical or traditional ensembles of texts.
