  "Modern" and "contemporary": comparative historiographical uses and issues

  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.

  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.
