Appel à contribution de l’ANR sur “Syria: Religion in Revolution, War, and Displacement” (date limite : le 3 février 2025) pour un atelier/workshop de l’IFEA (UMIFRE CNRS MEAE) qui se tiendra à Istanbul les 5-7 mars 2025.
Présentation par les organisateurs :
Much has already been written about the role of religion in the 2011 Arab uprising in general, and in the Syrian revolution in particular—religious slogans and the use of mosques in the early phases of the uprisings, or the subsequent rise of Islamist parties across the region have been extensively discussed (Boëx and Pinto, 2018; Aubin- Boltanski, 2022). Many authors have focused on the Syrian conflict’s sectarian dimension, that is, on politically relevant, mutually competitive religious identities. Theoretically sophisticated accounts have proposed useful correctives to the ethno-primordialist notion that the war was a mere resurgence of ‘ancient hatreds’.
They rather emphasize the fact that the ‘sectarianization’ of the conflict resulted from complex interactions between existing social and political structures, on the one hand, and the warring parties’ strategies of mobilization, on the other hand (Satik, 2013; Phillips, 2015; Stolleis, 2015; Leenders, 2016; Pinto, 2017; Belhadj and Ruiz de Elvira, 2018; Hinnebusch, 2019; Mazur, 2021). Sectarianization is an important part of the context we aim to explore in this conference, but it does not constitute the focus of our reflection. Rather, we seek contributions that address the impact of the revolution, war, and mass displacement of the Syrian population, not on sectarian identities, but on religion per se, which is broadly understood here as a set of beliefs and practices within a given spiritual tradition. The latter’s transformations in post-2011 Syria shall be examined through three main perspectives, although we remain open to other relevant approaches.
