La francophonie et l’espace africain et méditerranéen : quel avenir ?
La francophonie est à la fois un concept, un mouvement linguistique et une pratique sociale et culturelle qui régit les rapports géopolitiques. Ce colloque se propose de réfléchir sur l’avenir de la francophonie dans l’espace afro-méditerranéen. Il a pour objectif de cerner les enjeux que la francophonie soulève dans ce contexte mondial marqué par le bouleversement géopolitiques, avec les défis qui se posent dans plusieurs pays francophones ; défis culturels, scientifiques, sociaux, politiques et économiques. Les propositions retenues privilégient une démarche théorique, analytique, historique et empirique.

From the disconnected letters to the science of letters: a meeting of knowledges in the Middle East
In order to interpret the disconnected letters of the Qur’an (ḥurūf muqaṭṭa‘a), Muslim thinkers have based their work on esoteric concepts, sometimes handed down from Antiquity, which have flourished in Islamic lands under the name of the science of letters (‘ilm al-ḥurūf). This international symposium aims to study the various representations of the mysterious letters within the wider framework of the science of letters, and to put them in perspective against similar readings from languages and cultures close to Arabic. Part of the symposium will be held in the historic citadel of Erbil in the heart of ancient Mesopotamia, “the land of the two rivers”, the cradle of early writing.

Animals as Worshippers of God First of All
On Animal Piety in Islam
In this symposium, we aim to consider the religious figure of the animal in Islam, neither as an object of worship (an idol) nor a means of worshipping (sacrificial offering), but rather as a fully-fledged subject, a worshipper of God and a model for all worshippers. What are the origin and theological posterity of verses like, “Do you not see that God is glorified by all those in the heavens and the earth, even birds in rows?” (24:41) What does believing in animal worship of God imply for the definition of religion itself?

Social sciences and Humanities: between constant/static and changing/change
This forum represents a process of developing the field of social and human sciences, as it is a gathering of disciplines and addresses an important problem in scientific research, which is the way the researcher sees the curricula used in this field with different specializations (political gloom, international relations, economics, law, advertising and communication, Sociology, psychology, history, geography, archeology, anthropology, literature, linguistics, sports sciences), and what they represent in terms of relativity according to the background of the vision, subjectivity and objectivity of the researcher, and the extent to which, he is able to enforce the theoretical framework of the various purities since they depend on the complexity of In terms of understanding, analyzing and interpreting the phenomenon, and in terms of intertwining between disciplines, one phenomenon is cross-disciplinary and overlaps between them.

War and Peace: Representations and Symbols in the Arab World
Ce colloque interdisciplinaire vise à étudier, dans le temps long, les usages et les représentations véhiculés par les notions de guerre (ḥarb) et de paix (silm) aussi bien à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur du monde arabe. Il part du postulat que les démarches propres aux sciences humaines (études linguistiques et littéraires) et sociales (histoire, sociologie, politologie) sont complémentaires dans la mesure où les productions langagières comme les oeuvres de fiction rendent parfois aussi compte, sciemment ou non, du réel.

The emergence of the Ḥadīṯ as the authority of knowledge, 4th/10th and the 8th/14th century
2ᵉ Colloque de l'Idéo au Caire
One of the questions raised today by some Egyptian religious authorities is on the lawfulness and relevance of using intellectual tools foreign to the Islamic tradition to read and interpret the Qurʾān and texts of the classic Islamic heritage. Is it permissible and appropriate to use contemporary human sciences to study the texts of the Arab-Islamic patrimony or should it be limited to the Ḥadīṯ? IDEO would like to contribute to this debate by studying the emergence of the Ḥadīṯ as the authority of knowledge in the Islamic sciences between the 4ᵗʰ/10ᵗʰ and the 8ᵗʰ/14ᵗʰ century.

Light in the Religions of the Book: A Multidisciplinary Approach
If light is a valuable tool for the development of buildings, it also meets the requirements of practical and functional needs. Beyond its purely aesthetic role, it is indeed a way to delineate the space and to organize its occupation by defining spatialities and temporalities adapted to the functions of the building. In order to assess the significance of spatial and temporal dimensions of light, a cross-reading of architectural, archaeological, textual and iconographic sources might be particularly fruitful. The theme of light which, somewhat complex, constitutes a privileged entry point not only to the study of man's relationship to space and the sacred, but also to the development – within or between monotheisms – of influences, exchanges, ruptures, continuities and legacies. The goal of the conference is to explore the theme of light in the East and in the West, during the Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, in a transdisciplinary perspective and within five thematic panels.
