Muslims: a European History 16th-21st century

Les musulmans : une histoire de l’Europe, XVIe-XXIe siècle

Published on Thursday, January 28, 2021

Abstract

For the second consecutive year, the CHSP (Centre d’histoire de sciences po) European History Seminar explores the social lives of Muslims in early modern and modern European societies. It fits in with the preliminary works of ESLAM (European Societies in the Light of Apolitical Muslims) and is open to established scholars, junior researchers and Ph.D. and master degree’s students in history and social sciences.

Presentation

The seminar develops a history of the Muslims in Europe and from Europe. It explores their social, cultural, religious, generational and gender diversity in order to better understand the evolution of the European societies in which they were actors. It accounts for a major historiographical renewal and supports the shift from intellectual and religious history of Islam to the history of the Muslims in Christian-ruled or secularized European states. It opts for a comparative approach and works over a long period of time. It discusses a state-of-the-art almost exclusively focused on the imperial and colonial past of the European states, and it challenges the narratives and politics of remembrance of a certain Europe that has been elaborated, described and celebrated as exclusively Judeo-Christian. Located at the crossroads between different and diverse regional areas, it examines individual or collective Muslim actors, the variety of their circles of social belonging, the identities they proposed or were assigned to, and the public policies that discriminated, protected or ignored them. This seminar also develops a thematic approach that places Muslims in a broader history of political institutions, migration, labor, gender, cities or memories of a Europe that is never circumscribed to its Western states. Finally, this seminar aims to bring historians of early modern and modern Europe into dialogue with each other and with the diversity of social sciences.
