Monuments, Documents: Interpretation and Overinterpretation

Une opinion courante aujourd’hui veut qu’il n’y ait pas un instant où l’on ne cesse d’interpréter. Toute expérience d’une chose pourvue de sens nous placerait devant un cas d’interprétation et un produit de celle-ci. La question urgente pour la constitution d’un savoir « scientifique » est donc : y a-t-il une frontière entre interprétation et surinterprétation ? Autant l’interprétation semble légitime, autant la surinterprétation est-elle rejetée comme illégitime. Est-ce parce qu’elle apparaît comme une violence faite à l’objet que l’on cherche à comprendre ? Comme une brusquerie contre le consensus sur lequel la discipline en question est fondée ? Par ailleurs, si tout n’est qu’interprétation, y a-t-il encore place dans nos disciplines pour un réel progrès scientifique, et de quelle nature est-il ? (meilleure compréhension de l’objet, affinement des méthodes ?

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.

Things and Spirits: new approaches to materiality and immateriality

This conference is aimed at exploring new ways of approaching the tensional and intimate connections between ‘things’ and ‘spirits’ across distinct practices and epistemologies. In recent decades, the theme of materiality has gained wider currency and centrality in social sciences and anthropological theory. A growing number of scholars in the anthropology of religion, material culture studies, and history and sociology of science and technology have been reexamining the partition between humans, material objects, and immaterial entities, along with the ideas of agency, evidence, and materiality itself.

Émile Durkheim: sociology and ethnology

La figure d’Émile Durkheim, figure incontournable et classique de la sociologie française mais aussi de la sociologie allemande et anglo-américaine méritai d’être réinterrogée. Aujourd’hui on souhaite ouvrir de nouveau la réflexion et le débat en nous penchant sur la figure de Durkheim comme théoricien et sur son héritage théorique dans les deux disciplines qui nous occupent – sociologie & ethnologie – et dans les différentes écoles et courants. L’accent sera mis sur la manière dont les différentes écoles sociologiques (française, allemande, américaine) ont inscrit le travail de Durkheim entre sociologie et anthropologie le confrontant à d’autres auteurs : Marcel Mauss, Robert Hertz, Henri Hubert, Georg Simmel, Maurice Halbwachs mais aussi Bergson et Tarde.

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.

École d’été « Religion, culture et société en Europe (1750- ) »

Religion et modernité. Louvain, du 17 au 26 août 2009

Traditionnellement la signification sociétale et culturelle de la religion à été représentée pendant la modernité de façon dichotomique, voire ambiguë. Adhérents de la thèse de la sécularisation argumentent que les transformations économiques, sociales, culturelles et politiques entourant la modernité, ont affaibli linéairement l’impact de la religion dans la société. La prépondérance de cette thèse a fait que bon nombre de chercheurs ont sous-estimé le rôle de la religion comme facteur explicatif dans l’histoire des XIXe et XXe siècles.

Seventh Day of Geography. Spaces of Death and the dead in spaces

For the seventh consecutive year, the association Doc'Géo organizes the Day of Geography on April 7th, 2009 (in partnership with the Ecole Doctorale Montaigne Humanité, MSHA and ADES UMR CNRS 5185). This Day may primarily interest Masters, Doctoral, Post -doc, and therefore young researchers. The objective of this day is to consider the spatial dimension of death, a theme to which far too little attention was paid in the humanities, thus offering potential rich thematic analysis. The purpose of this one day conference is to initiate, through a partnership between several disciplines (geography, sociology, ethnology, anthropology, history, art history, philosophy, medicine, biology, ethology ...) an analysis of the relation between space and death.

L'Europe centrale au seuil de la modernité. Mutations sociales, religieuses et culturelles

Autriche, Bohème, Hongrie et Pologne, fin du XIVe siècle – milieu du XVIe siècle

Ce colloque réunissant des chercheurs français et surtout étrangers s'efforce d'éclairer le moment décisif dans l'histoire de l'Europe centrale et orientale que constitue la fin du Moyen Âge et le début de l'époque moderne. Alors qu' elle semblait sur le point de « rattraper » ses modèles, elle se singularisa par des choix qui contribuèrent à la maintenir en marge de l'Europe pendant des siècles. Ce colloque s'intéresse exclusivement aux aspects sociaux, religieux et culturels. Les faits politiques et diplomatiques pourront faire l'objet d'un second colloque s'inscrivant dans le même cadre chronologique et géographique.
