Christian-Muslim Missionary Encounters, Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries
Mission and Modernity Research Academy (MiMoRA#3)
The study of missionary work occupies a central place in the interdisciplinary body of scholarship on relations and exchanges between Christianity and Islam in pre-modern as well as modern times. Most notably from the nineteenth century onwards, missions became an essential aspect of the globalization and modernization of these two ‘world religions’. Scholars from various disciplines have discovered the missionary encounter as a ‘space’ par excellence to observe and analyze Christian-Muslim interactions, which range from rejection and conflict to dialogue and mutual exchange. This research requires the breaching of the boundaries between disciplines, languages, scripts, archival heuristics, geographical and chronological specialisms; and the creation of an interdisciplinary scholarly dialogue. The aim of this international and multidisciplinary week-long research academy is to stimulate further critical study of the multilateral research on Christian-Muslim contacts and relationships in missionary contexts.

Ancient percussion instruments
Organology - perceptions - multi-functionality
Percussion instruments have a renewal of interest for a few years, after being a long time poor relatives of academic research and very often relegated to the end of the catalogues of musical instruments. However, recent studies show the complexity of uses of these items which, beyond their only sonorous mechanism, are mobilized in a wide range of contexts (ceremonies, theater, funerary field, votive offerings, etc.) for numerous reasons. Special attention will be paid to idiophones, but also to membranophones when data allows it.

Humour in the Arabo-Islamic culture
« Au commencement était le rire » nous dit M. Blanchot (l’Amitié). Telle serait la vertu de l’esprit humoristique : pour bien comprendre l’importance d’une vérité, il faut savoir en rire. Quitte, dans un second temps, à rire de ce rire qu’elle nous donne et qui fait écho à son intensité. Qu’en est-il du rire arabe, de l’humour dans la culture musulmane populaire et savante ? La littérature arabe a constamment nourri une esthétique narquoise qui a forgé ses propres concepts et produit des genres à part entière : « al-Dorf »- « Al-moujoun », Les « hérésiologies » arabes (« Zandaqa ») et tous les écrits qui sont tombés sous la banale malédiction de « l’athéisme ». D’un autre côté, comment comprendre la tradition satirique en Occident ? Le rapport du sacré et les topoï de diffamation en Occident ? Le prix du rire : quand l’humour va beaucoup plus loin que les promesses de ce mot : le rire et la mort.
