Conspiracy theories in the digital age and processes of Islamic radicalisation via Internet

Revue « Quaderni »

Les théories du complot et les phénomènes de radicalisation, qu'ils soient politiques, religieux, violents, ou simplement le fait de productions statistiques instituées, présentent plusieurs points communs qui nous amènent à envisager ces deux numéros des Quaderni dans une forme de continuité. L'objectif commun de ces deux numéros est de s'affranchir de l'immédiateté et de l'injonction médiatique à fournir « clefs en mains » des réponses aux théories du complot et à la radicalisation islamiste pour proposer une approche scientifique renouvelée de l'analyse des rapports entre nouvelle technologies, communication politique de masse et ces phénomènes sociaux.

The making of Muslim chaplaincies in prisons

Comparative approaches

In France, prison chaplain activities are currently under hitherto unforeseen scrutiny in the scope of public action and academic fields. This renewed interest in an institution that seemed to be on the verge of falling into disuse little more than two decades ago in France, can be explained by the upheaval that the religious profile of inmates has undergone in the past three or four decades. Moreover Muslim chaplains have been seen as a policy tool for preventing radicalisation.In a context where there is widespread interest in the role chaplains could play in the fight against the swing to violent extremism, this symposium will seek to review the way in which Muslim actors in France and in other countries have made use of this institution even though it does not belong to their own religious tradition.

Women, Religions and Gender Relations

International Association for the study of Religion and Gender (IARG)

Interest in the subject of “Women, Religions and Gender Relations” has intensified especially from the mid-1990s in Europe – more recently in Italy – spreading beyond the borders of the sociology of religion and gender studies. The call is designed to offer a platform to scholars to present their research on the topic and exchange their ideas on research findings at an international level.

Serving the king during religious wars

Cette journée d’études souhaite interroger les différentes configurations du service royal dans le contexte particulier des guerres de religion françaises. Elle a aussi pour ambition d’embrasser tout le spectre social, dans une perspective comparative permettant de rendre compte des différentes facettes du service du roi et d’envisager autant les groupes sociaux que les trajectoires individuelles.
