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. -

Conference, symposium - History
Religions and Politics in Europe's Orients (14th-20th c.)
The goal of this conference is to explore a number of aspects of the relationship between the religious phenomenon and politics through the historical framework of political developments in what progressively will become, through interaction, the Orients of Europe, i.e. Eastern and Southeastern Europe as well as the Eastern Mediterranean, an area so unorthodox and difficult to examine in terms of essentialist definitions. It is no accident that Samuel Huntington believed that what we call the ‘Orthodox East’ does not form a part of the West, but rather a sui generis encounter between Christianity and Islam at the borders of Europe. This theoretical scheme is not overturned by drawing the borders of Europe a little further to the East, as many believe, but by historicizing the issue of the relationship between religion and politics in the given geographical region through the comparative prism of what was occurring during the same period in Western Europe. -
Athens
L'École française d'Athènes, en partenariat avec d'autres institutions universitaires françaises et européennes, annonce le démarrage d'un programme de recherche pluriannuel sur les relations interconfessionnelles dans le Sud-Est européen et la Méditerranée orientale de 1850 à 1940 et appelle les chercheurs intéressés (confirmés, post-docs ou doctorants avancés) à joindre les équipes de recherche qui s'y forment. La présentation complète du programme est disponible au site dédié: http://interconf.efa.gr . Le programme se divise en 3 axes : l'école et l'éducation dans des contextes multiconfessionnels, philanthropie/Charité et le quadrillage social par des acteurs religieux, la question du genre et des femmes dans des contextes multiconfessionnels. -

Conference, symposium - Modern
Contraintes locales et enjeux internationaux, 1854-1923
À l'heure de l'élargissement partiel et problématique de l'U.E. en direction du Sud-Est européen et de la Méditerranée orientale, ce colloque organisé par l'École française d'Athènes vient aborder une des questions les plus brûlantes dans la région et ayant souvent donné lieu à des simplifications caricaturales, parfois lourdes de consèquences. En abordant l’histoire des relations interconfessionnelles de 1854 à 1923, nous nous proposons d’adopter un point de vue relationnel étayant la variété des contacts, la multitude des stratégies des individus comme des institutions, le rapport complexe entre religions, identités et politique, enfin le rapport ambigu entre Orient et Occident, plutôt que de présenter un énième essai, facile et rassurant, de définition essentialiste des identités religieuses et de leur correspondance parfaite et diachronique à des identités nationales.
