  Between mobility and sedentarity: Pentecostal and Evangelical communities in Belgium in a context of religious globalisation

  Both in Belgium and in Europe, debates about immigration are generally dominated by Islam which tends to overshadow the current religious pluralisation in our societies. However, since several decades multiple forms of religious recomposition have been taking place, in particular within the Christian field, where a new dynamic can be observed as a consequence of migration and missionary movements, such as Pentecostal and Evangelical groups. During this study day, on 14 November 2013, we aim to discuss the religious mutations that have occurred in Belgium during the last decades, through different forms of mobility: migration, intra-European mobility and the transformation of native Churches. In particular, we will examine how the tension between local community and globalisation, mobility and sedentarity, local belonging and transnational networks are brought about by these Churches.

  Congolese arts and the Congolese diaspora in Belgium: images and post-colonial relationships

  Ce colloque interrogera la postcolonialité de la Belgique à partir du champ artistique de la diaspora congolaise en faisant appel aux chercheurs, aux artistes et aux institutionnels. Il s’agira de réfléchir à la façon dont les rapports historiques entre belges et congolais se répercutent dans le champ de la création, de la promotion et la diffusion des artistes. Nous examinerons également la façon dont ce champ artistique s’est constitué et recomposé dans le temps ainsi que les processus d’hybridation à l’œuvre, à travers l’inscription des artistes dans différentes sphères artistiques. Nous chercherons aussi à savoir dans quelle mesure et de quelles façons ces expressions artistiques participent à la (dé)construction de la narration nationale et s’inscrivent ou non dans la continuité des imaginaires et des représentations de la Belgique au sein de la diaspora.
