This book explores the relationship between religion and citizenship from a culturally diverse group of contributors, in the context of the developing tendency towards fundamentalist and conflicting religious beliefs in European, North African, and Middle Eastern societies. The chapters provide an alternative narrative of the role of religion, presenting diverse ‘lived shades’ of citizenship, as well as accounting for issues of gender equality, minority rights, violence, identity, education, and secularisation. As the renewed role of religious institutions is increasing in Europe and elsewhere, the contributors interrogate the experience of belonging, public policy, welfare services and religious education, highlighting how cooperation between citizenship and religion is necessary in a democratic regime. The research will be of interest to students and scholars across sociology, international relations, and religious studies.
The wars of the twentieth century uprooted people on a previously unimaginable scale to the extent that being a refugee became an increasingly widespread experience. With the arrival of refugees, governments of host countries had to mediate between divided national populations: some wished to welcome those arriving in search of refuge; others preferred a strategy of exclusion or even expulsion. At the same time, refugees had to manage conflicts of the self as they responded to the loss of nationhood, families, socio-political networks, material goods, and arguably also a sense of belonging or home. While return migration was usually perceived by governments and refugees alike as the best sol...
The book weaves the story of the complex links between education and its territories. The aim here is to examine the education couple - understood in the broadest sense: school, college, high school, universities - and territory, according to three main axes: the history and the characterization of the different ties maintained And which the school and its territory always maintain; That of the categorization and characterization of the territories in which the school is situated, of the educational policies - both explicit and grassroots - connected with it and their effects on the school; That of recent pedagogical, didactic and organizational innovations. The book is based on French specialists in territorial education issues.
The highly-charged debate over Morocco’s diasporic minorities in Europe has led to a growing interest in the literary production of these ‘new’ Europeans. This comparative study is the first to discuss together a body of texts, including contemporary Judeo-Moroccan literature, written in French, Spanish, Catalan and Dutch, which have never been studied as a group. Faced with such a variegated field of literary production, the aim of this book is not to tie individual works of literature to their ‘national’ place of origin, but to re-conceptualize the idea of a ‘Moroccan’ literature with regard to the transnational and multilingual experiences from which it arises. Drawing on a ...

La banlieue est un thème permanent de débat avec les polémiques qui se succèdent depuis plus de trente ans à propos de l'action à y mener. C’est cette action concrète auprès des populations, notamment à partir des dispositifs de la politique de la ville, engageant des services publics et des associations, des professionnels et des bénévoles, qui est mise en question ici. Les interventions opérées par des acteurs du secteur culturel, du logement social ou du travail social sont analysées sur un double registre : celui de la conception, alors que chacun est incité à travailler en relation avec les autres intervenants qui agissent dans d’autres domaines que le sien, mais dan...
Cet ouvrage rend compte de récits croisés de trente Maghrébins, de part et d autre de la Méditerranée, mis en perspective par des présentations de l auteur. L idée de ce projet, démarré en 2008 avec la collecte de plus d une centaine de « récits de vie » dans six pays de la Méditerranée (Tunisie, Algérie, Maroc, Espagne, France et Italie) était double. D une part, le désir de rendre compte de la multiplicité des formes de départ vers l Europe et vers la France en particulier telles qu elles se présentent aujourd hui au Maghreb, mais aussi montrer les éléments qui poussent ces Maghrébins à quitter leur pays. La deuxième idée consistait à comprendre la façon dont ce...
Les connaissances portant sur la pratique d'aménagement des espaces publics se focalisent souvent soit sur celle des habitants soit sur les pratiques de programmation formelle et technique. En mettant en relation ces divers éléments, cet ouvrage collectif veut contribuer à l'amélioration des connaissances sur la programmation et l'usage des espaces publics. La valorisation scientifique de la pratique d'aménagement originale de Lyon permet d'aborder l'embrayage de ces diverses connaissances et de comprendre comment il oriente la fabrication des espaces publics : place faite aux habitants, modes de programmation et de décision, formalisations architecturales et techniques. Le recours au...
