Religious pluralism and social diversity: religions in the European public space
“Identity”, wrote historian Tony Judt, “is a dangerous word”. Indeed identity politics today, often based on essentialized, ahistorical notions of religion and nation, call into question the bases of pluralistic, multi-ethnic and multireligious societies in Europe and beyond. This conference will explore some of the ways in which cultural and religious pluralism has always been a central element of European society and how it continues to be so today. We will look at how various European states have accommodated religion in general and diverse religious organizations, paying particular attention to questions of group identity and individual freedoms and of the distinctions between public and private space. We will remain attentive to the networks of exchange and the relations between societies and states in constant flux. We will bear in mind the constant question of the difficult definition of “Europe”, of which European states and societies we are discussing. Today’s Europe, often simplistically identified with a specific political project, the European Union, and with its relations with its Mediterranean and eastern neighbors, is not the same Europe as that of 1914, much less that of the Middle Ages or the 16th century.

Political loyalty and betrayal in the 21st century - the current state of affairs?
85th congress of the Association francophone pour le savoir (Acfas)
Le couple loyauté / trahison n'apparaît guère dans le vocabulaire actuel. Les débats politiques et les discussions théoriques sur le « vivre ensemble » s'appuient davantage aujourd'hui sur les idées d'appartenance et de communauté, de pluralisme et de tolérance, d'identité et de reconnaissance. Le retrait de la loyauté et de la trahison politiques est-il avéré, ou s'agit-il d'une question de point de vue, qu'un changement de perspective pourrait infirmer ? Telle est notre interrogation.

Symbol and Design in Contemporary Churches
The Third International Seminar intends to be an appointment of critical reflection on the difficulties that symbol has gone through in the twentieth-century liturgical architecture. After years of lack of interest for all related subjects, during the last decades architecture is devoting increasing attention to symbol, this way highlighting the ongoing corresponding anthropological transformation. However, this kind of research also requires mature awareness both of the reasons why it has become necessary nowadays and of the inter-disciplinary developments it has generated during the twentieth century. In the Catholic background there are two unavoidable reference points: Romano Guardini and the dogmatic pronouncements of the Second Vatican Council that acknowledged the importance of symbols.

Seminar - Ethnology, anthropology
La performance filmée : « la marche »
Laurent Malone (artiste) et Sébastien Thiery (Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne), parleront du déplacement urbain conçu comme outil de perception et de connaissance, et comme démarche politique. Au cours du séminaire, La performance filmée, nous tenterons de rapprocher les performances rituelles des premières et les performances artistiques relevant de l'art contemporain. À partir des documents filmiques des ethnologues et de ceux produits par les artistes de la scène contemporaine, nous examinerons, si possible en présence desréalisateurs, les exemples tirés de contextes les plus variés, des chorégraphies de masques dogons aux rituels inuit, des performances de Joseph Beuys à celles de Bill Viola. Nous interrogerons, d'une part, les procédés filmiques utilisés, et, d'autre part, le statut sociétalde la performance.
