Instances of power and cultural discourse
Intercultural exchange in the age of globalization, second edition
In the context of today’s social, political and economic changes, power is one of the governing principles of culture. Power comes in many shapes and sizes and it manifests itself under various forms: it can be tyrannical or a combination of forces (Foucault); it can be charismatic, traditional and rational (Weber) or the opposite – manipulative; it can also appear as a system of diluted forces that spring from the “social field” (Bourdieu); it can remain in the unconscious or it can manifest itself in the speech act. However it may appear, it has become clear that power shapes the course of the creation, interpretation and analysis of literary texts and other cultural products.

The effects of World War I on the christian churches
11 November 1918 saw the end of the First World War, known at the time as the “Great War” (1914-1918) for its global scale, extreme destructivity and unseen casualty rates. On the one hand, wars evoke heroism and patriotism and bring people and groups to alter their mental boundaries and abilities. On the other hand, wars also elicit hatred, envy and violent behaviour, the settling of hidden accounts, the abandonment of ethical standards, and deep divisions and confrontations between families and societies. Since effects of the first world conflict were enormous and the shock waves were felt for years and generations to come, the question arises about the impact of the Great War on religion and the established churches.

Thematic issue of the Hungarian Historical Review 2014/4
The social interactions of individuals and groups belonging to different denominations was and is one of the everyday experiences of social manifestations of otherness. Ever since the Middle Ages, Central Europe has been home to various and varying religious and ethnic groups who have lived side by side. The region has been a meeting point for the Latin, Orthodox, Islamic, Christian, and Jewish worlds, and the Reformation made it even more religiously diverse. We encourage the submission of papers that examine the phenomena of religious and cultural diversity in the region from the perspectives of political history and the history of ideas, and we are particularly interested in submissions that address the social, economic, and cultural aspects of religiously and denominationally diverse coexistence.

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. -

Conference, symposium - Sociology
Religion and Economy in a Global World
Le congrès de la Société internationale de sociologie des religions (SISR), organisé par l’Institut d’études politiques d’Aix-en-Provence, réunira quatre cent participants à l’occasion d’une quarantaine de sessions thématiques pour interroger les relations entre religion et économie. Au-delà même de l’occasion conjoncturelle, il est indéniable que les croyances et appartenances religieuses permettent de mieux appréhender les comportements économiques. La variable économique est tout aussi pertinente en amont : le niveau de vie, qu’il soit individuel, relatif à des groupes d’individus ou encore à une société entière, s’avère déterminant dans le choix d’une adhésion religieuse spécifique.
