Open Theology invites submissions for the topical issue “The Bible and Migration”, prepared in collaboration with the conference The Bible on the Move: Toward a Biblical Theology of Migration, held at Fuller Theological Seminary in January 2020. This special issue asks how cutting-edge biblical scholarship should inform conversation about and action relating to migration in the twenty-first century, bridging the gap between biblical studies, theology, and activism. Articles should examine how the biblical texts reflect diverse migrant experiences, as well as ways in which these texts reflect theologically on migration and appropriate responses to it among migrants and host communities. Articles may also critically interrogate the Bible’s use in arguments over migration and migrants’ reception by host communities.

Envisioning Latin America: Power and Representation in audiovisual (re)productions
This issue seeks to critically address power structures in audiovisual (re)productions in and from Latin America and discuss how these play a role in the societal construction and representation of individual and collective identities, the ‘us’ and the ‘other’. By doing so, it aims at understanding how these representations – and broader discourses associated therewith – can be critically examined through media productions (cinema, television, radio, photography etc.) and their use as historical sources.

Five Centuries of Cultural Influence
Generations of scholars have studied the multi-faceted experiences of the Franciscans in Mexico and the ways in which the Franciscan order shaped New Spain and the early Mexican republic. This conference examines the range of Franciscan influence and analyzes new scholarship that focuses on the multiple discourses with which friars engaged native peoples, creole populations, the vice-regal authorities, and other actors throughout the Spanish empire. The conference brings together junior and senior scholars to study the long Franciscan experience in Mexico on the eve of the commemoration of the quincentenary of the Spanish — and thus the Franciscan— presence in Mexico.

Memory and the making of knowledge in the Early Modern world
While memory is an established sub-field within these disciplines, its themes and sources have led to an over-representation of the ancient and modern worlds, meaning that the early modern era has been comparatively neglected. The School seeks not merely to redress this imbalance, but also to explore how studies of memory and early modernity might shape one another in the future. Participants in the Summer School, which will take place between 18 and 22 September 2017, will have the opportunity to discuss the most recent research presented by leading scholars in the field, to learn or refine skills in workshops that focus on the media and techniques of memory, and to present their own work to a uniquely qualified and supportive international peer group.

Populisms in Central and Eastern Europe in the 20th Century
Since the 1990s, several political movements qualified as “populist” have emerged in Central and Eastern Europe, drawing the attention of political scientists. If we want to understand why these movements exercise such attraction and why they are so relentless in this space, it is necessary to cross the study of current politics with the analysis of long term developments.

International Comparative Literature Association XXIst Congress - session 17327
In The Politics of Friendship Derrida reflects on the question of the indecidable possibility, the “peut-être,” of love, of friendship, and of desire: “‘Je t'aime entends- tu?’; cette déclaration d'aimance hyperbolique ne pourrait donner sa chance à une politique de l'amitié que soumise à l'épreuve du peut-être, de l'indécidable” How then can we express a refusal, a no, without listening, without hearing? How can one express the divergent and differential possibilities opened by this phrase? And yet Derrida already has, in Envois, where he explores, theorizes and dramatizes a love affair, tracing the course of its refusal in the various postcards and letters which remain unsent, forever awaiting their destination. This panel concerns theory speaking in terms of love, seeking to establish the relationship between “ l’âmour” and theory.

Hamsa. Journal of Judaic and Islamic Studies, nº 2
“Purity” and “Impurity” establish themselves as structural categories in both Islam and Judaism, embracing dimensions as diverse as the body, food, clothing and even space itself. The 2nd issue of the journal Hamsa will be devoted to this wide-ranging theme, seeking to obtain diachronic historical perspectives. To this effect, we aim to promote the analysis of interfaith relationships, in those instances where purity and impurity are projected in contacts with the Other. Those dimensions concern not only the minorities, but also affect Christianitas itself, through interiorization of these concepts and their application to minority communities (as is the case, for example, with limpeza de sangue - “cleanliness of blood”).

Marshall G.S. Hodgson, Islam and World History
Ce colloque permettra de revenir sur l'œuvre de G. S. Marshall Hodgson (1922-1968), un des plus grands historiens américains de l'Islam et par ailleurs un géographe de génie et un des premiers grands penseurs de l'histoire globale. Lors des quatre séances d'une demi-journée chacune, il sera question de l'apport de Hodgson comme islamologue ; de sa manière d'avoir « inventé » ou pratiqué l'histoire globale au sein du « Comittee on Social Thought » de l'Université de Chicago ; du caractère créatif en historiographie, notamment dans les années 1950 et 1960 ; et pour finir, l'état de l'histoire globale de nos jours. -

Archival Scribes in the Medieval West
Training, Careers, Connections
L’historiographie continue de nous dispenser une image assez figée des « scribes » médiévaux, qu’il s’agisse des moines à l’œuvre dans le silence du scriptorium, des notaires toujours au four et au moulin, des clercs de chancellerie produisant des actes à la chaîne dans des ruches d’écriture officielle... Quelle part de réalité dans ces images d’Épinal ? Il s’agit de se demander qui écrit au Moyen Âge, plus spécifiquement dans le domaine foisonnant et méconnu du document normatif ou pratique destiné à faire archive. Quels sont les profils de ces scriptores – scribes, scripteurs, écrivants, « scribouillards » de toutes espèces – au service des grands princes ou des petits seigneurs, des officiers de justice ou des cours foncières, des grands ordres monastiques ou d’humbles collégiales, des autorités urbaines ou des communautés villageoises ? -

The Atlantic World of Anthony Benezet, 1713-1784
Le colloque « Le monde atlantique d’Antoine Benezet » aura lieu les 30, 31 mai et 1er juin 2013 à Paris (Universités Paris Diderot et Paris 8 – Vincennes). Le colloque commémore le tricentenaire d’ Antoine Benezet, huguenot né à Saint-Quentin en 1713 et qui, devenu quaker à Philadelphie, inspira la croisade antiesclavagiste à la fin du XVIIIe siècle. Le colloque aura pour axes de réflexion: – la France, les huguenots et le Refuge dans sa diversité ; – l'histoire sociale et spirituelle des colonies britanniques d’Amérique du nord ; – le combat antiesclavagiste des Quakers nord-américains. -
Discourses on the Method in Early Modern England: Towards a Modern Order?
À la Renaissance, les controverses philosophiques et scientifiques, ainsi que les nombreuses traductions de Platon créent les conditions d’un débat autour de l’idée de méthode, Aristote ayant été l’autorité incontestée en la matière jusque-là. Dès les années 1530, l’interrogation sur la méthode devient centrale, dans le domaine de la rhétorique, puis de la dialectique. Le terme « méthode » est ainsi redéfini tout au long du XVIe siècle et continue à faire l’objet de nombreuses querelles au siècle suivant. Dans un contexte où les disciplines ne sont pas encore distinctes, on recherche une méthode universelle qui offre une interprétation globale et générale du monde, mais la méthode est aussi perçue comme un outil de vulgarisation scientifique.
