  Conference, symposium - Sociology

  The representation of Africans and people of African descendancy in school manuals

  Afro-decolonial perspectives - practical and theoretical issues

  Ce colloque a plusieurs objectifs. L'objectif principal est d'interroger la représentation des personnes d'ascendance africaine dans les manuels scolaires et de réflechir à la création de manuels scolaires dans lesquels ces populations seraient repésentées à leur juste valeur au sein d'une histoire pluriverselle. La rencontre questionnera toutes les disciplines et tentera d'établir un réel dialogue interdisciplinaire. Enfin, il sera question de la mise en place d'équipes de travail et de réflexion qui se réuniront après le colloque pour continuer le travail ébauché durant la rencontre.

  Repentance

  Origin(s) and latest developments

  The question of repentance now applies to the public sphere and concerns huge collective bodies as well as individuals. It has a complex relationship with history. Repentance has even become a global issue and now concerns a wide range of geographical and cultural areas as well taking on many forms referring to facts whose scale, temporal distance or context are in no way comparable with it.  Indeed, the roots of repentance are to be found in many traditions (religious, cultural, national and community) and nowadays, announcements (through the media at large) give rise to secular forms of repentance which are devoid of the dimensions that traditionally form the definition of repentance.
