This session aims to enrich and open new avenues of reflection on religious minorities in Latin America and the Caribbean and on the development of a national memory and culture. We are particularly interested in research based on empirical surveys (work on archives, ethnographies, analysis of statistical data, interviews) that seek to understand the links between the nation, national identity and minority religions, explore the relationship between majority religion and religious minorities (dialogues, conflicts, borrowings, etc.) or report on concrete aspects of the presence of these religious minorities in Latin American and Caribbean countries (rituals, practices, relationship to politics, etc.)

Religion and gender in Latin America

Theoretical and methodological perspectives for research

This dossier invites researchers to submit papers discussing the theoretical and methodological challenges and limits facing new research questions in order to address the interfaces between religion and gender in Latin American countries in light of changes in the social and religious field in recent decades. We welcome works produced from different areas of knowledge in the social and human sciences, as well as areas and studies at the intersection of these issues. We set out to encourage reflection on the ethical challenges faced by researchers regarding the new theoretical and methodological models used in our region and beyond.

Religions and the presidential elections in the United States

Catholics have long been an important force in American electoral politics even if they make up 21% of the American population. Could they be, compared to the other religious denominations, the game changer of the next elections ? Despite widespread agreement among scholars that the partisan behavior of Catholics has changed, there is much less consensus on the nature of that change, its permanence, and its causes. This symposium will review the historical patterns of Catholic partisanship and voting behavior, as well as those of the other denominations, discuss major perspectives on electoral change (Republican shift, Hispanic and Asian vote, interreligious alliances) and test there perspectives with the latest survey data.

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.
