After two postponements, the 3rd PLURIEL International Congress of PLURIEL will take place from Monday 23 May to Friday 27 May 2022 in Beirut.
Two days of conferences and panels at Saint Joseph University, workshops and meetings at La Sagesse University as well as cultural visits in Beirut and North Lebanon.
True acceptance of otherness in a globalized and pluralistic world allows us to measure the capacity of religious, philosophical or political thought to fit in and assume the contemporary societal dynamics inherent to globalization (Taylor). This acceptance is not devoid of resistance that stem from the rise of entrenched identity expressions founded in particularly on a vision of equality that is based on the “similar” which assumes a historical-ethnic (Rosanvallon) [1] or religious identity.
The congress ‘Islam and Otherness’ proposes to reflect on how Islam fits into this societal movement beyond identity resistance.
Three axes will allow us to approach the reality of otherness in Islam in terms of resources: geopolitical axis, dialogue axis and citizenship axis (muwatana).

In opening to the 3rd International Congress of PLURIEL, which will exceptionally extend over two years, we offered a one-afternoon webinar on Tuesday 13 April 2021 from 3pm to 7pm.
In October 2019, the scientific committee of the Congress “Islam and Otherness” met at the Catholic Institute of Paris to work on the elaboration of the congress. This was an opportunity to produce a video in which each member of the committee took the floor to explain their vision of the theme and the challenges of such a scientific meeting.
