  Religious conversion in African societies and their diasporas

  Temporalities spaces and modes of presence

  Ce panel se propose de revenir sur les phénomènes de conversions, (de)conversions, et/ou (re)conversions religieuses comme pratiques sociales polymorphes, et interroge les différentes pratiques, temporalités et mobilités religieuses qui en découlent. Jouissant d'une grande profondeur historique, la question de la conversion suscite en effet une diversité d'interprétations et d'approches aussi bien épistémologiques que méthodologiques (Mary 1998a ; Buckser et Glazier 2003).

  European Muslim's Participation in (New) Media

  The increasing growth of the Internet is reshaping Islamic communities worldwide. Non-conventional media and social networks such as Facebook and Twitter are becoming more popular among the Muslim youth as among all parts of the society. The new channels of information and news attract new Muslim publics in Europe. The profile of the people using these networks range from college students to Islamic intellectual authorities. Such an easy and speedy way of connecting to millions of people across the globe also attracts the attention of social movements, which utilize these networks to spread their message to a wider public. Many Muslim networks and social movements, political leaders, Islamic institutions and authorities use these new media spaces to address wider Muslim and also non-Muslim communities, it is not uncommon that they also address and reach certain so-called radical groups.

  "African Churches" in Europe. Mediating Imaginations

  "African Churches" have been present in Europe for some decades now, but their developments have taken a new dimension with the intensification of African migrations to Europe in the 80s and 90s. Beyond their doctrinal and institutional diversity and divergences, these churches have in common to be carried by African populations who all too often remain stigmatized and marginalized at the social, political and juridical levels. From the diverse issues of identity, networks and circulations of religious actors, relations to the public sphere, and gender, contributions to the conference will seek to show how African Christian worlds of Europe are now situated at the very heart of dynamics of reconfiguration of African imaginations of Europe, but also of European imaginations of Africa.
