  Fribourg-Paris-Nova Friburgo. Grégoire Girard and transatlantic teaching methods

  Ce colloque international inaugurera les recherches scientifiques du Cercle d’études Grégoire Girard / Forschungskreis Gregor Girard. Il aura pour objectif d’analyser les circulations transatlantiques de la méthode mutuelle pour mieux cerner la déclinaison élaborée par le Père Girard. Le pédagogue fribourgeois s’est constamment nourri d’expériences pédagogiques en circulation. Son œuvre, comme celles des pédagogues de son temps, s’est façonnée à partir d’emprunts. Les circulations de savoirs pédagogiques étant à cette époque particulièrement denses, il s'agira d'éclairer les dynamiques et les processus circulatoires dans l’espace transatlantique.

  Contemporary Religious Movements: From Africa to the Americas and Back

  The transatlantic movement of beliefs and of religious practices dates back to the earliest days of the “discovery” of the Americas. Since then, there have been over five hundred years of exchange between the two sides of the Atlantic. In many cases, religious movements brought to the New World by European and African migrants were among those persecuted by the hegemonic religious institutions as heretic or pagan. Sometimes, the crossing to the New World has brought about transformation of old belief systems, leading to the creation of so- called “syncretistic” movements, such as Haitian Voodoo, Rastafarianism, Candomblé, etc. To these, we might add the Pentecostal wave, which in recent decades has been sweeping across both Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa, transforming the religious landscapes.
