Replay / Conference “Religious authority in Islam”

Since 2019, the Pluriel group from Lyon group has brought together 14 researchers around the question of the legitimisation of religious authority in Islam. The closing conference of this research project was held in November 2021 at the Catholic University of Lyon. It was an opportunity to hear the work of the researchers and doctoral students involved, as well as guests from EHESS and IDEO (Cairo). A very dense panorama from authority rules before Islam to local French and Swiss figures, through Ibn Taymiyya or the Indonesian women ulama. Available in replay on Youtube, speaker by speaker (in French)

Depuis 2019, le groupe Pluriel de Lyon a rassemblé 14 chercheurs autour de la question de la légitimation de l’autorité religieuse en islam. Le colloque de clôture de ce projet de recherche s’est tenu en novembre 2021 à l’Université catholique de Lyon. Ce fut l’occasion d’entendre les travaux des chercheurs et doctorants impliqués, mais aussi des invités de l’EHESS et de l’IDEO (Le Caire).  Un panorama très dense, des figures de l’autorité avant l’islam aux figures locales françaises et suisses, en passant par Ibn Taymiyya ou les femmes oulémas d’Indonésie. Disponible en replay sur Youtube, intervenant par intervenant.

En fin de colloque, les participants ont été conviés à une table ronde à l’Institut français de civilisation musulmane, intitulée “Autorité régionale, impossible régulation nationale ?“. Trois représentants locaux d’instances musulmanes, Kamel Kabtane, président du Conseil des mosquées du Rhône, Azzedine Gaci, porte-parole du conseil théologique des imams du Rhône, et Benaissa Chana, alors futur président du CRCM Rhône-Alpes, ont ainsi présenté leur regard et échangé avec le public sur les difficultés de représentation du culte musulman en France.
