  Religion and culture: between oxymoron and pleonasm

  2nd annual colloquium of the Société québécoise pour l'étude de la religion (SQÉR)

  Dans cet atelier, nous réfléchissons à l’articulation entre religion et culture dans les comportements religieux contemporains : comment les acteurs négocient-ils leurs appartenances culturelles et religieuses ? Comment les religions repensent-elles leurs inscriptions dans des systèmes culturels locaux ? Comment ces compositions et chevauchements sont-ils aménagés dans l’espace public ?

  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.

  The Transnationalization of Religion through Music

  The transnationalization of religion refers to the relocalization of beliefs, rituals and religious practices beyond state lines, in real or symbolic spaces, with the help of new imaginaries and narrative identities (Capone 2005). By studying musical mobility and its reception in local contexts, this conference aims at understanding how music "migrates" along with religions, how it contributes to the construction of plural societies, and the fundamental role it plays in the creation and recreation of ideas, identities, and religious practices in a transnational context.

  Tradition(s): beyond preconceived ideas

  L'association des étudiant-e-s des cycles supérieurs en sociologie à l'université de Montréal lance un appel à communication pour son 9ème colloque annuel qui aura lieu le 14 mars 2014, sur le thème d'une réflexion sur le concept de tradition. Comment s'articulent tradition et rapports de pouvoir ? Quelle est la force coercitive des traditions ? Quelle place occupent les traditions religieuses, militantes, culturelles, etc. dans nos vies ? Peut-on comprendre la référence aux traditions dans le cadre d’une critique du capitalisme ? Comment revaloriser les savoirs et savoir-faire qualifiés de traditionnels qui ont été délégitimés par le colonialisme ? Finalement, quels sont les apports et les limites de l'inscription dans des traditions intellectuelles et théoriques ?

  The Transnationalization of Religion through Music

  The transnationalization of religion refers to the relocalization of beliefs, rituals and religious practices beyond state lines, in real or symbolic spaces, with the help of new imaginaries and narrative identities. Although the analysis of religious transnationalization has revealed the various ways religion transcends borders, the role of music in this process is rarely addressed. Yet this role is essential in the transnationalization of universal religions like Islam and Christianity. Music also contributes to the migration of local religions, neotraditionalist movements, and cults associated with a particular area, such as Haitian Voodoo, Cuban Santería, or Brazilian Candomble. Such musical phenomena, far from being new, gave birth to early religious globalizations.
