  The geopolitics of religion in Camerooon

  Ce projet d’ouvrage, sur la Géopolitique du fait religieux au Cameroun, veut élargir la notion de Géopolitique des religions d’Yves Lacoste (2002). Si ce dernier la circonscrit autour de territoires physiques avec expression d’une violence ouverte, nous entendons davantage la géopolitique du religieux comme l’analyse des rapports de forces de groupes se revendiquant religieux, pour la conquête de territoires physiques et symboliques, avec expression d’une violence protéiforme - ouverte, symbolique ou sournoise. Quant aux territoires de Dieu (Lasseur, 2005), qui font ainsi l’objet de rivalités de pouvoirs, ils concernent des espaces physiques, mais aussi des territoires symboliques.

  Central Africa: ressources and armed conflicts

  Cahiers d’Outre-Mer journal

  This issue of Cahiers d’Outre-Mer will explore the mutual impacts of resources and armed conflicts in CAR from a political point of view.  Neither the resources nor their greater or lesser availability constitute, by itself, a sufficient condition to explain the outbreak or continuation of conflicts. Resources, because they impact the balance of powers, are an aspect of armed conflicts, which can be defined as antagonisms between social groups using weapons to prevail over each other. This issue aims at identifying mutual impacts of conflicts and resources in CAR with three possible lines of inquiry: Resources and trajectories of political organizations ; Uses of resources and conflict ; Reconfigurations of resources within conflicts.

  Understanding self and others: new touristic, domestic, international practices and touristic promotion of the heritage in East Africa

  This symposium will gather researchers and professional actors of the tourism with different events (symposium, exposition, public conference, field day) around the theme of the new practices and forms of touristic and patrimonial promotion in East Africa. The touristic studies are fast growing in the main universities in East Africa with the emergence of new forms of tourism. Those countries are in their national construction and decentralization phase that vivify feeling of national belonging with territorial, regional or even ethnic resilience. Therefore the developing tourism of the natural and cultural heritage becomes a serious challenge for national and regional public policies.

  Representing South African cities

  This conference proposes to present the latest developments in the research on South African cities, but also to offer an opportunity for academics from various fields (literature, social sciences, architecture, geography, visual arts, etc.) to compare their respective analysis and their theoretical conclusions with the imaginative, artistic representations of the cities of South Africa. The convenors therefore not only invite researchers from all fields to come and present their latest work on South African cities, but also strongly encourage papers which offer a cross-disciplinary approach, or joint presentations between researchers from various fields or academics and artists (writers, directors, photographs). Some major actors of the literary and art scene will be present to expose their views and discuss their works with researchers as well as with a wider, more general audience.This conference is part of the Official Season of South Africa in France.
