  Reassessing Bergson

  The thought of Henri Bergson (1859-1941), one of the most influential theorists of time of the twentieth century, has primarily been confined to the so-called “continental” tradition of philosophy. In the past few years this has started to change; his work has begun to receive ingenious reassessment from philosophers outside the field of “continental” philosophy in general and within analytic philosophy in particular. The aim of this conference is to capture this moment and use it to provide new perspectives on Bergsonian philosophy, expanding and reassessing Bergson’s legacy and producing a major permutation in the philosophy of time.

  Conference, symposium - Law

  Le droit et le waqf (fondations pieuses)

  Nationalisations et le contrôle de l'État

  Les présentations explorent le droit colonial vis-à-vis du waqf en tant qu'institution mais aussi les propriétés leur appartenant dans le monde musulman avant l'indépendence des pays colonisés. Dans l'objectif d'étudier le droit qui s'y adaptait ou qui s'adaptait par rapport au waqf, les contributions se concentrent sur des mécanismes légaux innovateurs ou des discussions qui ont eu lieu dans les pays concernés à l'égard du statu quo de waqf au moment des interventions coloniales à la fin du XIXe et au début du XXe siècle.

  Waqf: Modern State Control and Nationalization

  Second Law of Waqf Conference

  Following the first of three conferences on "The Law of Waqf" organised by Harvard Islamic Legal Studies Program which concentrated on the legal origins of waqf to Ottoman-era maturity (convened in May 2006), we are now solliciting abstracts for the second conference which will focus on colonial era law in relation to waqf (mid 19th century to the end of the colonial period). Both indigeneous and colonial law relating to the legal system of waqf are of interest to this conference which will occur in Cambridge, Mass., on 16-18 May 2008. All abstracts and papers are to be in English.
