  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.

  Heritage and otherness

  Le 4^e colloque étudiant de l’IPAC propose d’étudier le concept d’altérité et son rôle dans les interactions humaines propres au domaine du patrimoine culturel. Il vise à stimuler une réflexion sur la façon dont la diversité et la pluralité culturelles agissent en tant qu’agents patrimoniaux fédérateurs, d’intégration et de compréhension de « l’Autre » ou comment, au contraire, des ruptures, tensions ou désintégrations du vivre ensemble peuvent se produire. Bref, comment le patrimoine représente-t-il un pont culturel entre Nous et les Autres, ainsi qu’un instrument de division potentiel ? Quel rôle joue le patrimoine et quel levier représente-t-il dans un monde qui semble avoir perdu ses repères, ses racines et son identité ?

  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.
