  Death and Migration: Perspectives from the Post-Soviet Space

  This dossier of Revue européenne des migrations internationales proposes to take up a research theme that has undergone a strong renewal of interest in recent years, that of death and migration. This dossier aims to shed light on an area which has been little studied from this angle (the post-Soviet space) and to develop an approach which focuses on the management of bodies 'dead in the distance' (deaths in migration, deaths due to migration). This dossier also focuses on the effects of a certain proximity to death on the practices of foresight and mutual aid (when they exist) in the migratory context, as well as their impacts on migration as a whole. Two thematic axes will guide the contributions: the first concerns the practical modalities of the management of dead bodies abroad; the second concerns mitigating and solidarity practices in relation to the proximity of death in migration.

  The Bible and Migration

  Open Theology invites submissions for the topical issue “The Bible and Migration”, prepared in collaboration with the conference The Bible on the Move: Toward a Biblical Theology of Migration, held at Fuller Theological Seminary in January 2020. This special issue asks how cutting-edge biblical scholarship should inform conversation about and action relating to migration in the twenty-first century, bridging the gap between biblical studies, theology, and activism. Articles should examine how the biblical texts reflect diverse migrant experiences, as well as ways in which these texts reflect theologically on migration and appropriate responses to it among migrants and host communities. Articles may also critically interrogate the Bible’s use in arguments over migration and migrants’ reception by host communities.

  Approches croisées des changements religieux

  IXe congrès de l’Association française de sociologie « Changer ? » – RTn°43 sociologie et religions

  La sociologie des religions française s’est structurée dans les années 1960 autour de concepts – la sécularisation, la pluralisation religieuse, l’individualisation des pratiques et croyances – qui accordent une place centrale à la notion de changement, en y associant des connotations positives (la « modernité » religieuse) ou négatives (le registre de la perte) et analysée à différents échelles (individuelle, organisationnelle etc.). Tout en tenant compte des apports de ces paradigmes, l’objectif du réseau thématique sera de s’éloigner des approches théoriques qui seraient spécifiques aux religieux en s’interrogeant sur le travail de sélection et de catégorisation à l’œuvre : comment définir ce qui est « religieux » ? Comment appréhender objectivement ou subjectivement le changement ?
