  Rites and identities

  L’objet du colloque Rites et Identités est de regrouper des chercheurs de toutes les disciplines qui s’intéressent aux rites en relation avec les questions identitaires. Chacun pourra montrer comment il entrevoit les liens entre la construction des identités – devenue le nouvel impératif catégorique de la postmodernité – et leurs mises en scène (performances) dans divers contextes de l’existence. Délibérément interdisciplinaire, ce colloque est ouvert à toutes les perspectives théoriques et méthodologiques. Il vise à mieux saisir les multiples articulations entre les rites et les identités.

  Examining the religious : alter/native views

  Graduate Student Conference AECSSR-UQÀM

  Since its foundation, the Department of religious studies at UQAM is known for its non-confessional approach to the study of the religious and its manifestations within cultures and societies, known as religiologie. Research being carried with this method tends to go beyond the academic status quo, to focus on the religious object as well as on the posture which underpins it. In recent years, a greater amount of attention has been given to the issues of proximity and detachment between the researcher and the object/subject of their research. With this emphasis on avant-garde and innovative research, we invite researchers in all disciplines to explore different approaches and methodologies that question this all too elusive barrier between subjectivity and objectivity.
