  The Agreements of the Holy See with States (19th-21st Centuries)

  Models and Transformations, from Confessional States to Religious Freedom

  This conference will explore the international legal agreements signed between the Holy See and individual states, which often but not always took the form of concordats and similar conventions. Its central focus will be to examine these conventions in light of diplomatic practices, as well as in relation to the political and religious dynamics of the nineteenth through the twenty-first centuries, notably the principles and requirements that comprised modernity. This entails assessing the historical evolution of the typology, method, content, scope, and spaces concerned.

  Creating images and rituals - otherness

  Cette journée d’études, organisée par le Centre d'études et de recherche en histoire culturelle (Cerhic-EA 2616), traitera de l’histoire complexe du rapport ambigü à l’altérité, à travers la question des images et des liens que celles-ci entretiennent avec des rituels. Les approches développées par des historiens et historiens d’art (avec la présence de conservateurs de musées) pour la période XVI^e-XX^e siècle traiteront de questions politiques, culturelles et religieuses, envisageront la diversité des types d’images (qui sont aussi des objets) ainsi que la pluralité des pratiques qu’elles révèlent, qui les rendent agissantes ou qu’elles visent à produire.

  The effects of World War I on the christian churches

  11 November 1918 saw the end of the First World War, known at the time as the “Great War” (1914-1918) for its global scale, extreme destructivity and unseen casualty rates. On the one hand, wars evoke heroism and patriotism and bring people and groups to alter their mental boundaries and abilities. On the other hand, wars also elicit hatred, envy and violent behaviour, the settling of hidden accounts, the abandonment of ethical standards, and deep divisions and confrontations between families and societies. Since effects of the first world conflict were enormous and the shock waves were felt for years and generations to come, the question arises about the impact of the Great War on religion and the established churches.

  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 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.
