  BRIT XIV : Border Regions In Transition

  The Border: a source of innovation

  BRIT (Border Regions in Transition) is an international network of researchers and practitioners dealing with issues on borders. The objective of this conference is, with a transdisciplinary approach (geography, political science, economics, sociology, anthropology, history), to contribute to a collective reflection on innovations related to border and cross-border dynamics. The decision to set BRIT next to the Franco-Belgian border in 2014 falls within the symbol. A century after the declaration of the Great War, the aim is to trace the evolution of the border between France and Belgium, which started from “front” border to end with « sewing » border. If it once represented a split between two territories, the border has now come to represent an element of welding these two territories. The field day will offer a contact with these concrete realities.

  Atheism revealed in modern times

  Le vendredi 26 et le samedi 27 octobre 2012, le CIERL, l'UMONS et l'Académie royale de Belgique co-organisent un colloque sur le thème « Athéisme dévoilé aux temps modernes ». Il fait suite au colloque « Athéisme voilé aux temps modernes ». Il s'agira de poursuivre l'étude sous les angles de l'histoire, de l'histoire des religions et de la philosophie de l'athéisme aux XVI, XVII et XVIIIe siècle. On étudiera ici les auteurs qui, plutôt que de défendre leur athéisme en maintenant un masque d'orthodoxie pour échapper aux représailles ont utiliser d'autres stratégies telles que les manuscrits clandestins, la publication posthume, etc.
