Philosophical Hermeneutics in the Islamicate Context

This conference would like to engage with one specific context among all those which were and still are, as it were, “affected” by philosophical hermeneutics: the Islamicate context. The latter seems particularly relevant: on the one hand because it is intimately intertwined with the Western context; on the other hand because the Islamicate context retains a clear reference to religion that makes its entanglement with philosophical hermeneutics a burning challenge for all parties involved. The universality of the hermeneutic order should be put to the test of the Islamicate context within three different angles: the exegetical aspect, in order to see in what extend philosophical hermeneutics can contribute to rethink the understanding of the Koran in the contemporary context; the interpretative aspect, to address different contemporary attempts to reinterpret the classical – philosophical, spiritual or legal – heritage; the critical aspect, to present different political and critical issues raised by the question of the encounter between philosophical hermeneutics and Islamic thought.

L’objectif est de témoigner du dynamisme des recherches actuelles sur l’Iran à travers des thématiques aussi diverses que les images, les pratiques socio-politiques et religieuses de l’Iran contemporain, les relations de l’Iran avec ses voisins (Arménie, Anatolie, Irak abbasside, Asie centrale, Inde) à travers les âges, le développement du soufisme ou encore les phénomènes de circulation et d’échanges.

Doctoral workshops in the visual arts in the Maghreb and Middle East - 19th-21st century

Pour leur deuxième édition, les Ateliers doctoraux des Arts Visuels au Maghreb et au Moyen-Orient — XIX^e-XXI^e siècle souhaitent interroger l'usage des termes qui rendent compte de l'exercice de la temporalité en art et les enjeux historiographiques qu'ils supposent. Sera au cœur du travail l'étude des usages des termes « moderne », « contemporain », « actuel » et « avant-garde » au sein des discours de l'art de la région.

Philosophical hermeneutics in the Islamicate context

This conference would like to engage with one specific context among all those which were and still are, as it were, “affected” by philosophical hermeneutics: the Islamicate context. The latter seems particularly relevant: on the one hand because it is intimately intertwined with the Western context; on the other hand because the Islamicate context retains a clear reference to religion that makes its entanglement with philosophical hermeneutics a burning challenge for all parties involved. The universality of the hermeneutic order should be put to the test of the Islamicate context within three different angles: the interpretative dimension, to address contemporary thinkers from the Islamicate world who have engaged with philosophical hermeneutics; the comparative dimension, in order to deal with possible transactions on the basis of common traits and divergences; and the creative dimension, to present attempts at using philosophical hermeneutics in order to develop new interpretations of canonical or traditional ensembles of texts.

Iranian Intellectuals and the Enlightenment

Encounter with Farhad Khosrokhavar and Mohsen Mottaghi

Cette rencontre avec deux sociologues spécialistes de l’Iran s’inscrit dans une recherche collective sur les références aux Lumières dans les débats contemporains (programme MSH-Sud Lumières actives, LumAc20-21). L’objet du projet « Lumières actives : 20e et 21e siècles » est d’analyser le phénomène politique, philosophique et culturel que désigne en français le syntagme LesLumières, en fonction de ses réactivations dans le monde contemporain. Le but du projet est de mieux comprendre la façon dont ce courant, unique ou multiple, touche aujourd’hui différentes cultures et se trouve réactivé ou contesté de différentes façons.

Art and History Museums in the Middle East as places of social and political production

This panel aims at studying how works of art are defined in Middle Eastern museums and how this definition encompasses their political project. We would like to study how museums are perceived, socially and politically, including on a commercial level, by local and international audiences.

The Bible in Arabic in the 19th century: the issues for Christianity ad Islam in the Near East since 1865

La publication en 1865 de la traduction complète de la Bible en arabe à Beyrouth, accompagnée de sa large diffusion, sous l’égide des missionnaires de l’American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) avec le concours de savants du Liban, reste une étape charnière de l’histoire religieuse et intellectuelle du Proche Orient. Les conséquences de cette traduction dépassent outre, en effet, le champ du religieux et du théologique pour atteindre l’Homme et son rôle dans la société : le politique au sens large. Que cette traduction ait été menée à bonne fin peut alors être perçu comme le signe d’une société en évolution, d’autant plus que des musulmans ont été appelés à y collaborer aux côtés de chrétiens.

Call for papers - Economy

The Political Economy of the Islamic Republic of Iran

An accurate assessment of the current economic and political situation in Iran today clearly implies examining the relations between the structure of political power, the dominant forms of ownership, and economic activity. Furthermore, the interweaving of the economic and political spheres in Iran today can be better understood through this lens. Finally, an analysis of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s political economy can also provide keys to understand the country's future political evolutions. An analysis in terms of political economy thus requires a multidisciplinary approach involving exchanges between economists, political scientists, sociologists, and historians.
