their lives as political actors and subjects.

Conference:
“Hermeneutics of Quranic Norm Change”, Friedrich-Alexander University

27. Appel à
contribution : dossier « Le fait urbain en Algérie : nouvelles perspectives de
recherche »
Ce dossier a comme ambition d’impulser
et de rendre visible les recherches sur les villes algériennes en privilégiant
les contributions qui explorent de nouveaux champs et apportent des savoirs
actualisés sur la question urbaine. Cela passe par certains déplacements de
l’analyse et un renouvellement des problématiques. Alors que la question des
processus de fabrication de la ville a longtemps été centrale, l’analyse des
pratiques urbaines en constitue un renouvellement en même temps qu’un
prolongement qu’il s’agit de déployer en mettant en perspective différentes
dimensions.

Contributions to Edited Volume on “Moroccan Peregrinations:
Construction, Transmission and Circulation of Islamic Knowledge (18th-21st
Centuries)”
This volume explores Islamic knowledge in a context of
movement to and from Morocco with its particular environment, captured in its
geography and history as a producer, a receiver and an exporter of knowledge.
The analysis of processes which are often simultaneous, of institutionalization
and circulation are questioned from the study of literature and documents to
ethnographic observations including the decryption of virtual contents.

Contributions to Edited Volume on “Pre-Colonial Sahara:
Societies in Archipelagos”
Our call for papers seeks to explore this topic by inviting

the coherence of a Saharan cultural space, between the Early Middle Ages – when
Islam emerged in these regions – and the 19th century, on the eve of modern
colonial upsurges.

ittibāʿ,iǧmāʿ, tarǧīḥ), que l’on a évalué de manière différente taqlīd (ḥarām,
maḏmūm,mubāḥ), ou en-core établi des distinctions de degrés d’iǧtihād.
