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).

The processes of politico-religious assignation in the Syrian conflict
Cette journée d'étude sera consacrée à la violence des processus d’assignation politico-religieux dans le conflit syrien. L’État syrien, ainsi que différentes factions du camp de l’opposition ont dès le début de la révolte en 2011 entrepris de mobiliser les individus sur la base de leurs identités confessionnelles et/ou ethniques. Observable chez les « minoritaires » alaouites, druzes et chrétiens sommés de soutenir le régime de Bashar al-Assad, cette politique a également des conséquences délétères au sein de la « majorité » sunnite. Ne se cantonnant pas au domaine de la mobilisation politico-militaire, elle s’accompagne de la tentative d’imposer par la contrainte une réforme morale de chaque individu, ainsi qu’une homogénéisation des croyances, des pratiques et des manières d’être « citoyen », « musulman », « alaouite », etc.

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?

The representations of martyrs in the Islamic world
The manufacture of images - presences in the public space
Partant du constat largement partagé d'une exposition aussi nombreuse que diverse des figures de martyrs dans les espaces publics de pays musulmans, cette journée d'étude se consacre à l'analyse des processus de fabrication (peintures, photographies, pochoirs, images numériques...), des supports d'affichage (murs, musées, internet) ainsi qu'à la mise en rapport de ces productions par-delà les singularités des pays, des conflits et des mythologies, pour en interroger le sens et les évolutions.

Parij Uyghurshunasliq Heptiliki
Les Ouïghours sont un peuple vivant dans l’Ouest de la Chine, au sein de la région autonome ouïghoure que traversait jadis la route de la soie. L’exceptionnelle richesse de leur culture est un domaine d’étude que privilégient les universitaires de nombreux pays. La semaine d'études ouïghoures à Paris (INALCO, EPHE / GSRL / CNRS, Sciences-Po / CERI / GRAC et université Paris 7) aura lieu du 18 au 22 novembre, et sera l'occasion d'un colloque international, d'ateliers (lectures, calligraphie, cuisine et danse), de dégustation de la cuisine ouïghoure et de deux concerts.

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.
