    Migration via the sea or desert: recourse to religious figures in the migratory dynamics of Africa

    This conference intends broadly speaking, to open a scientific dialogue to discuss the place of the religious in the migratory dynamics. The conference anchoring point is the illegal migration from Africa towards Europe and Middle East. But proposals dealing with the link between religious and all other forms of human mobility within the African continental space or from it to other destinations could be examined according to their relevance. Four areas of reflection, non-exclusive, are suggested to shape the discussions: 1) Faith, beliefs and religious practices in the development / maturation of the migration project; 2) Socioeconomic uses and magico-religious experience on migration paths; 3) Religion and migratory networks; 4) Religious treatment of the migration issue.

    Ce colloque sur le thème du transport maritime à courte distance (TMCD) ou « short-sea-shipping » ambitionne d’être un rendez-vous incontournable de l’année 2016 pour les acteurs des secteurs maritimes et portuaires réunis autour d’un sujet d‘avenir. L’objectif est de comparer les différentes approches disciplinaires se référant à cette thématique de l’activité maritime au niveau international. Le colloque, qui se tiendra en francais et en anglais, abordera également les politiques de transport et le financement de l’Union européenne ainsi que les innovations techniques et organisationnelles du transport maritime qui créent des nouvelles opportunités pour le transfert des trafics terrestres vers la mer et pour la création des nouveaux services maritimes régionaux.
