  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.

  Diversity and recomposition of Protestantism in Paris

  Ce colloque a pour objectif de réfléchir aux recompositions contemporaines du protestantisme à Paris et en proche banlieue, dans un contexte urbain marqué par d’importantes mobilités (géographiques et religieuses), des contraintes spécifiques (cherté et pénurie de locaux) et une forte dimension symbolique, qui nourrit des revendications de visibilité dans l’espace public. Paris constitue ainsi un terrain d’observation privilégié des nouveaux enjeux posés à la laïcité française, en termes de gestion des diversités et de régulation des manifestations religieuses dans l’espace urbain. La démarche retenue est pluridisciplinaire, associant historiens, juristes, politistes, anthropologues et sociologues et combinant des approches quantitatives et qualitatives.
