Shi’i Studies
Symposium: “‘But by the love you bear my kin’: Devotion (Walāya) and Shiʿi Islam”,

This conference will be centred on
the theme of walāya—the call of devotion to the Ahl
al-Bayt that is at the core of Shiʿi beliefs. One unifying theme of the symposia
of the past few years has been the institutional development of Shiʿi Islam, as
we have considered the authority of the Imams, the development of centers of
learning, Shiʿism and governance, and dynamics of sectarianism in Islam. The
2020 symposium will build upon these previous events.

et taqlīd dans l’islam sunnite et šīʿite»
Le dossier de
ce MIDÉO se propose d’approfondir les deux logiques à la lumière du patrimoine

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.

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.
Deadline for abstracts : 1 December
