Populism and religion in the hour of America

Il y a indéniablement, dans nos démocraties, un tournant populiste qui a permis, dans de nombreux pays, l’arrivée au pouvoir de forces se réclamant du « vrai peuple » opposé à des élites expertes, corrompues, illégitimes. Ces courants populistes sollicitent diverses ressources politiques et symboliques, dont le religieux. L’objet de ce colloque est, précisément, d’aborder l’articulation entre populisme et religion.

Conference, symposium - America

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.

Conference, symposium - History

Criminal Law and Emotions in European Legal Cultures

From the 16th Century to the Present

This two-day conference seeks to historicize the relationship between law and emotions, focusing on the period from the sixteenth century to the present. It aims to ask how legal definitions, categorizations and judgments were influenced by, and themselves influenced, moral and social codes; religious and ideological norms; scientific and medical expertise; and perceptions of the body, gender, age, social status. By examining the period between the sixteenth century and the present day, this conference also seeks to challenge and problematize the demarcation between the early modern and the modern period, looking at patterns and continuities, as well as points of fissure and change, in the relationship between law and emotions.
