  Resistance to Order and Authority (ROAR)

  CEU/ELTE/Masaryk PhD Conference 2020

  Religion has served to legitimize political power, but it has also been a basis for resistance against order and authority. Be it the Maccabean revolt, Gandhi's practice of non-violence resistance, contemporary neo-pagan religions, or the counter-system movements portrayed by Mark Juergensmeyer in his 2001 book Terror in the Mind of God, religious beliefs have motivated people to reject social order that they deem as unjust, and possibly rise against it. Even in today’s secularized societies, religion has served as the ground for social movements and manifestations addressing pressing socioeconomic threats such as climate change, social inequality, authoritarian governments and minority discrimination. These observations have encouraged new trends in scholarly debate, especially regarding the emergence of alternative religious ideas and rituals in modern societies.  old and new religious convictions legitimized various resistance movements among different communities? Which causes have influenced violent mobilizations against established social order, non-violent struggle, or the establishment of alternative community frameworks? What can these movements and ideas tell us about the role that religion plays today both in secularized and non-secularized societies?

  Extrémismes, guerres, paix et développement en Afrique depuis les indépendances

  L’Université Protestante d’Afrique Centrale (UPAC) au Cameroun, à travers son département Paix et développement (PD) invite les universitaires des sciences humaines et sociales, les représentants de la société civile, des organisations non gouvernementales, les religieux, et bien d’autres, à une réflexion profonde en vue de montrer que la fragilité qui caractérise les États africains soixante ans après les indépendances relève des extrémismes de toutes sortes qui y ont généré des guerres sans cesse, dissipé la paix et compromis les nombreux efforts de construction et de consolidation des États de droits, stables et prospères. Une réflexion qui pourrait aider à exorciser les démons de la guerre qui traumatisent les peuples africains depuis les indépendances.
