  Confessionalism and nationalism in Syria since 2011

  Après huit années de conflit, le processus de fragmentation de la société syrienne sur des bases notamment confessionnelles est aujourd’hui bien entamée. Enclenché et instrumentalisé en premier lieu par les autorités de Damas, puis par les groupes armés jihadistes, elle s’accompagne de politiques d’enrôlement des acteurs en fonction de leurs appartenances religieuses et/ou ethnique. Dans ce contexte, que sont devenus les concepts d’« identité nationale » et de « nation syrienne » ? Comment s’articulent-ils à d’autres formes de solidarités qu’elles soient familiales, régionales et confessionnelles ? Comment les individus réagissent-ils à ce processus d’assignation politico-religieux qui les convoque jusque dans leur intimité : leurs façons de s’habiller, de penser, de prier, d’interagir ? Comment malgré les ruptures, les identités se reconfigurent-elles en exil ?

  Social Cohesion and Diversity: Muslims in Europe and Hui-Muslims in China

  The aim of this conference is to gather scholars who work on Hui people in China and Muslims in Europe to compare the similitudes and differences of their practices in a cohesive society. A lack of social cohesion among different ethnic and religious people was identified in recent years in Europe and China. The recent development and concerns linked with extremism associated with Muslims require more inquiries on relation between Muslims and non-Muslims in multicultural diverse societies.

  Bodily Cultivation & Cultural Learning

  8th International Symposium of CORPUS (International Group for the Cultural Study of the Body)

  Almost all cultures recognize as a means of achieving religious or spiritual goals, cultivating moral and emotional virtue, or transforming ideas into bodily practices. Some of the most common examples include fasting, meditation, vegetarianism, and qigong or taichi. Rather than focus on these obvious examples, conference attendees will examine culturally driven bodily practices such as proper ways to walk, sit, and gesture—all of which are often endowed with rich cultural meaning, information about cultural learning, and knowledge about the cultivation of values and merit. Bodily cultivation can also be analyzed as a channel for learning, manifesting, developing, or shaping cultural concepts and ideals.

  Violence, Non-Violence and Religion

  The Third Conference on Christian-Muslim Relations

  Bethlehem University, with its tradition of building better relations between Christians and Muslims, according to its values as a Catholic LaSallian Palestinian University, is proposing a conference on Violence and Religion (9-11 February 2011) as a chance to discuss this difficult topic of the relationship between religion and violence. Although the topic may seem vast and complex, the multidisci-plinary approach allows for a better understanding of the topic and an informative exchange among scholars and interested people from all faiths.
