MIDEO 35 – Interactions between Twelver Shiites and Christians
This volume 35 is made up of a dossier gathering most of the papers presented at the conference held in April 2018 at the Institut Catholique de Paris on the interactions between Imamites and Christians. Starting from the hypothesis that history, theology, and literature bear witness to the intercultural dimension of encounters and relationships, the authors show how the identities of each person have been shaped and constructed. The history of missionaries, accounts of travels, diplomatic letters from writers or polemicists shed light on the reality of these exchanges and the linguistic, cultural and theological transfers, beyond a dogmatic, hegemonic and closed vision of theological statements.

Ce volume 35 est constitué d’un dossier rassemblant la plupart des communications tenues lors du colloque d’avril 2018 à l’Institut catholique de Paris sur les interactions entre imamites et chrétiens. À partir de l’hypothèse que l’histoire, la théologie, la littérature témoignent de la dimension interculturelle des rencontres et des relations, les auteurs montrent comment les identités de chacun se sont façonnées et construites. L’histoire de missionnaires, les récits de voyages, les lettres diplomatiques d’écrivains ou de polémistes permettent en effet de mettre en lumière la réalité de ces échanges et les transferts linguistiques, culturels, théologiques, au-delà d’une vision dogmatique, hégémonique et fermée de l’énoncé théologique.

يحتوي هذا المجلّد رقم ٣٥ على ملفٍّ يجمع معظم الأبحاث المقدَّمة في المؤتمر الّذي عُقد في شهر أبريل ٢٠١٨ في الجامعة الكاثوليكيّة في باريس حول التفاعلات بين الشيعة الإماميّة والمسيحيّين. اعتمادًا على الفرضيّة القائلة بأنّ التاريخ واللاهوت وعلم الكلام والأدب شواهد على التفاعلات الثقافيّة بين مختلف الطوائف من البشر، يوضّح المؤلّفون كيف تمّ تشكيل هويّات الأشخاص وبنائها. يسلّط تاريخ المبشّرين وروايات رحلاتهم والرسائل الدبلوماسيّة من مؤلّفين —قد يكونون مجادلين— الضوءَ على حقيقة هذه التفاعلات والتحولات اللغويّة والثقافيّة واللاهوتيّة والكلاميّة، بما يتجاوز الرؤية المهيمِنة والمغلقة للتعبيرات العقائديّة الخاصّة لكلّ طائفة.
