  Study days - Language

  Christianity, language contact, language change

  The present workshop addresses questions of language contact and language change, as well as language standardization in the Christian context both in Europe and in the New World (Americas, Africa) through a study of diachronic and synchronic corpora. Special attention is paid, on the one hand, to the role of translation as a sight of language contact, and on the other hand, to register variation as an indicator of differential propagation of innovations appeared in Christian context.

  Contemporary Religious Movements: From Africa to the Americas and Back

  The transatlantic movement of beliefs and of religious practices dates back to the earliest days of the “discovery” of the Americas. Since then, there have been over five hundred years of exchange between the two sides of the Atlantic. In many cases, religious movements brought to the New World by European and African migrants were among those persecuted by the hegemonic religious institutions as heretic or pagan. Sometimes, the crossing to the New World has brought about transformation of old belief systems, leading to the creation of so- called “syncretistic” movements, such as Haitian Voodoo, Rastafarianism, Candomblé, etc. To these, we might add the Pentecostal wave, which in recent decades has been sweeping across both Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa, transforming the religious landscapes.

  Religious mobility in East Africa and Latin America

  Depuis les années 1970, la mobilité religieuse – transit, braconnage, « bris-collage » religieux – est au cœur des débats sociologiques. Pourtant, elle apparaît le plus souvent comme un argument explicatif des phénomènes de syncrétismes et d’hybridations religieuses, de « privatisation », d’« individualisation » et de « subjectivation » du religieux. Les pratiques religieuses s’inscrivent dans l’ensemble des pratiques sociales et cet enchâssement socioreligieux agit sur le comportement mobile du pratiquant. À partir de contributions issues des différentes recherches en sciences humaines en Afrique de l’Est et en Amérique latine ce colloque se propose d’étudier les thèmes suivants : la mobilité religieuse et les affiliations multiples ; les facteurs qui déterminent les adhésions religieuses et la participation aux services religieux ; pentecôtisme, néotraditionnalisme et les nouveaux mouvements religieux ; les influences inter-religieuses ou œcuménique sur les pratiques des individus et des institutions.
