  Death and Migration: Perspectives from the Post-Soviet Space

  This dossier of Revue européenne des migrations internationales proposes to take up a research theme that has undergone a strong renewal of interest in recent years, that of death and migration. This dossier aims to shed light on an area which has been little studied from this angle (the post-Soviet space) and to develop an approach which focuses on the management of bodies 'dead in the distance' (deaths in migration, deaths due to migration). This dossier also focuses on the effects of a certain proximity to death on the practices of foresight and mutual aid (when they exist) in the migratory context, as well as their impacts on migration as a whole. Two thematic axes will guide the contributions: the first concerns the practical modalities of the management of dead bodies abroad; the second concerns mitigating and solidarity practices in relation to the proximity of death in migration.

  Migration via the sea or desert: recourse to religious figures in the migratory dynamics of Africa

  This conference intends broadly speaking, to open a scientific dialogue to discuss the place of the religious in the migratory dynamics. The conference anchoring point is the illegal migration from Africa towards Europe and Middle East. But proposals dealing with the link between religious and all other forms of human mobility within the African continental space or from it to other destinations could be examined according to their relevance. Four areas of reflection, non-exclusive, are suggested to shape the discussions: 1) Faith, beliefs and religious practices in the development / maturation of the migration project; 2) Socioeconomic uses and magico-religious experience on migration paths; 3) Religion and migratory networks; 4) Religious treatment of the migration issue.

  Believing in technology - mediatisation of the future and the future of mediatisation

  Ce dossier se propose d’identifier, de mettre en exergue et d’interroger les caractéristiques et les enjeux de la médiatisation du futur de l’homme et de la société dans le contexte spécifique des croyances et dogmes de la foi en la technologie. Entendue comme une partie du processus de construction communicative de la réalité socio-culturelle actuelle d’un monde dans lequel la science conquise par l’intelligence artificielle est rattrapée par la religion, la médiatisation du futur, d’une part, agglutine les craintes d’une apocalypse où la prise technologique du contrôle sur la vie serait le sens de l’avenir de l’humanité, et, d’autre part, suscite l’espérance quasi évangélique d’une percolation salutaire de la technologie dans le corps humain et dans son environnement.

  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).

  Religion(s), secularity(ies), society(ies) and the digital humanities turn

  3rd International Conference ComSymbol

  The objective of this conference is to provide answers to two major issues: How religions being conquered by digital technologies are expanding and renewing their community life experiences and their social networks by generating new symbols and signifiers whose rapid spread in the public sphere is based on the development of innovative forms of production of science and knowledge circulation? How scholars, communication professionals, social activists, journalists, political, industrial and economic stakeholders are involved in the social transformation that accompanies the keen interest of religions for digital technologies and how to understand these distinct but interrelated changes?

  Developing a sense of belonging in diverse societies

  Hui-Muslims in China and Muslims in Europe

  The aim of this workshop is to gather scholars who work on Hui-Muslims in China and Muslims in Europe to compare the similitudes and differences of identity practices. Hui are predominantly Chinese speaking Muslims in China’s vast territory. With a population of 10 million, they are also the most numerous recognized ethnic group in China. Muslims in Europe are hardly featured in international media, domestic politics, and scholarly discussions. Multiculturalism, radicalisation, immigration, integration, forced marriage are discussed through the Muslim visibility and presence in Europe. Recent debates on integration and secularism are focused on  the "Muslim question". In contrast to the focus on Muslims in Europe, there is a notable lack of interest in Muslims in China with the exception of the Uyghur community. In this workshop, we want to study the impact of ethnic-religious interactions, state integration positions and policies to grasp the increasing influence of religious-collective-national expression of Muslims in the public sphere. We would like to examine the new patterns of expression and visibility of the Muslims in China and Europe. Tracing Muslim’s interaction with non-Muslims, this workshop investigates how Muslims encounters, accommodates and negotiates into different socio political contexts in China and Europe.
