  Maghrebi Sufism in its global context

  2nd international IACSAS conference

  Ces congrès visent à introduire les soufis maghrébins les plus influents et inspirants qui ont transmis cet héritage soufi vivant à travers différents temps et lieux. Ils ont transmis des connaissances, des informations, des hagiographies, des textes traduits, des poèmes de dévotion et des expressions artistiques. Ils ont prêché la tolérance et la coexistence dans un contexte spirituel comme celui du Maroc. Cela a inspiré Ibn Qunfudh, chercheur algérien et spécialiste du Hadith, de dire: « La terre du Maroc engendre les Bons comme elle produit les pâturages ».

  Water Management in the Mediterranean during the 1st Millennium BC

  IIIe symposium international HYDRΩMED

  The aim of the meeting is to compare the different modes of adaptation of the Ancient Mediterranean populations to the environmental resources, especially their hydric resources. In a climate marked by unequal distribution of water, the ancient societies, whether Phoenician-Punic, Greek or Etruscan, responded in different ways to the various situations, let alone the hydric crises which may have affected them. The meeting will associate systemic theoretical reflections as well as case studies on ancient sites, to outline the mutations and the permanencies, the possible technological transfers from one society to another. Here, as in other fields of human activity, we shall query the existence of an ancient Mediterranean koine around the knowledge and the technical practices, around the cultural and cultural traditions. The chronology considered runs from the 8^th to the 1^st century BC, i.e. before the diffusion of the Roman models and techniques.
