40. Training School: “Islamic
Heritage in Europe,” Granada and Córdoba, 14-16 January 2020
Over the past decades, there has been a growing interest
among scholars in analysing how the Islamic heritage in Europe has been
perceived, described, preserved, erased, negotiated or transformed in different
areas of Europe, from medieval to modern times. However, those debates seldom
crossed the borders of regional approaches. The aim of this training school is
to discuss those issues from different and complementary perspectives and to
question the traditional regional narrative through a comparative examination
of Islamic monuments in a wider Mediterranean perspective.

Heritage in Europe,” Granada and Córdoba, 14-16 January 2020
Over the past decades, there has been a growing interest

areas of Europe, from medieval to modern times. However, those debates seldom
crossed the borders of regional approaches. The aim of this training school is
to discuss those issues from different and complementary perspectives and to
question the traditional regional narrative through a comparative examination
of Islamic monuments in a wider Mediterranean perspective.

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.

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.

Le dossier de ce MIDÉO se propose
d’approfondir les deux logiques à la lumière du patrimoine islamique.
L’histoire de la pensée islamique montre que l’on a établi en effet des
distinctions entre les principes fondamentaux (uṣūl) et les branches du
fiqh(furūʿ), que l’on a élaboré des relations avec des notions connexes (iḫtilāf,
ittibāʿ,iǧmāʿ, tarǧīḥ), que l’on a évalué de manière différente taqlīd (ḥarām,
maḏmūm,mubāḥ), ou encore établi des distinctions de degrés d’iǧtihād.
