  Historiography of the Perception of Islam through Manuscripts, Korans and their Displacement

  The aim of this workshop is to approach the question of the relationship between Christianity and Islam through the study of the production, circulation and uses of Arabic manuscripts, and mainly Korans, in the late medieval and early modern Mediterranean Europe. Our assumption is that the Balkans, Italy and the Iberian Peninsula form an axis of circulation which is especially significant for our understanding of the Mediterranean Sea as a comprehensive space of cultural, political and religious contact.

  Justice, religion, réconciliation

  Comment le lexique religieux – réconciliation, pardon, aveu, repentir, etc. – fournit-il un cadre pour les situations postérieures à une période de violence ? Comment est-il interprété et mis en pratique par les acteurs concernés ? Quelle force propre peut-on lui prêter pour venir à bout des demandes de justice des « victimes » ? Quelles méthodes peut-on employer pour décrire ces situations souvent très complexes, tant pour la pluralité d’acteurs et d’institutions qu’elles impliquent que pour les jeux d’échelle qu’elles exigent de ceux qui envisagent de les étudier ?Voici les questions très générales que le colloque « justice, religion, réconciliation » souhaite aborder à travers des études de cas particuliers relevant de pays (Rwanda, Afrique du Sud, Algérie, Liban, Maroc, Bosnie, Italie…) qui ont été récemment confrontés à différentes formes de violence (raciale, génocidaire, religieuse, mafieuse…).

  Religious Community and Modern Statehood

  The passage from the Ottoman empire to modern states

  The conference aims to explore various aspects of the communal organization in the Ottoman Empire for regions such as Asia Minor, Middle East and the Balkans, and to present the changes that occurred within the religious communities during the 19th century and particularly during the period from Tanzimat reforms until the First World War. Key questions in relation to the modernization process of the Ottoman state and the functioning of religious communities, are a) how does the Sublime Porte understand the process of structuring a modern state with respect to religious communities, b) who is responsible for the modern institutions: the state or the religious communities, c) what is the reaction of the religious communities regarding the modernization process d) why and in what way the religious communities are changing on the light of this process.
