    Religious pathways to better futures

    Religious groups in Africa are not only an important source of imaginations of the future they are also remarkably active in their efforts to realize them. Thereby different religious groups articulate quite different visions on the future of their society, of Africa, the world or of mankind and follow different ways to pursue their goals: some groups might opt for public prayers, some for violence, some see in education the best way to realize their visions, some form political parties, and still others search for support in transnational networks or establish faith-based-organizations and try to link their future imaginaries to those of the donors in the world of development. Thus, looking at differing religious visions on the future and at the ways they are translated into practice, raises questions about the forms of public religion and interest articulation in a national and transnational setting as well as questions about religious diversity within a society.

    Religion and state: the logic of secularisation and Islamic citizenship

    L’objectif de ce colloque est de fournir des clés de compréhension des transformations des sociétés arabo-musulmanes qui correspondent à maints égards à des formes alternatives et endogènes de sécularisation et de citoyenneté. Autrement dit, de nombreux observateurs sont actuellement confrontés à une réalité empirique – notamment les bouleversements sociopolitiques survenus en 2011 dans le monde arabe – face à laquelle ils constatent un déficit d’énoncés théoriques et de concepts opératoires. La finalité de ce colloque est de regrouper sous une thématique commune, celle des logiques de la sécularisation et de la citoyenneté, un certain nombre d’hypothèses et de travaux exploratoires.
