  Christianity in Iraq at the turn of Islam

  The collapse of the Persian Empire and the retreat of the Byzantine Empire after the Muslim conquest led to important institutional changes for the Christians of the conquered areas. In Iraq, the Church of the East was no longer limited by the Sassanian Empire ruled by the Zoroastrians and gained new opportunities to expand. Nevertheless, it is difficult to restitute the reality of this ancient Christianity and to assess the modifications resulting from the conquests.

  War and Peace: Representations and Symbols in the Arab World

  Ce colloque interdisciplinaire vise à étudier, dans le temps long, les usages et les représentations véhiculés par les notions de guerre (ḥarb) et de paix (silm) aussi bien à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur du monde arabe. Il part du postulat que les démarches propres aux sciences humaines (études linguistiques et littéraires) et sociales (histoire, sociologie, politologie) sont complémentaires dans la mesure où les productions langagières comme les oeuvres de fiction rendent parfois aussi compte, sciemment ou non, du réel.

  The emergence of the Ḥadīṯ as the authority of knowledge, 4th/10th and the 8th/14th century

  2ᵉ Colloque de l'Idéo au Caire

  One of the questions raised today by some Egyptian religious authorities is on the lawfulness and relevance of using intellectual tools foreign to the Islamic tradition to read and interpret the Qurʾān and texts of the classic Islamic heritage. Is it permissible and appropriate to use contemporary human sciences to study the texts of the Arab-Islamic patrimony or should it be limited to the Ḥadīṯ? IDEO would like to contribute to this debate by studying the emergence of the Ḥadīṯ as the authority of knowledge in the Islamic sciences between the 4^_ᵗʰ/10ᵗʰ and the 8ᵗʰ/14ᵗʰ century.

  Light in the Religions of the Book: A Multidisciplinary Approach

  If light is a valuable tool for the development of buildings, it also meets the requirements of practical and functional needs.  Beyond its purely aesthetic role, it is indeed a way to delineate the space and to organize its occupation by defining spatialities and temporalities adapted to the functions of the building. In order to assess the significance of spatial and temporal dimensions of light, a cross-reading of architectural, archaeological, textual and iconographic sources might be particularly fruitful. The theme of light which, somewhat complex, constitutes a privileged entry point not only to the study of man's relationship to space and the sacred, but also to the development – within or between monotheisms – of influences, exchanges, ruptures, continuities and legacies. The goal of the conference is to explore the theme of light in the East and in the West, during the Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, in a transdisciplinary perspective and within five thematic panels.
