At a time when expressions, behaviours and forms of religiosity are a source of concern for politicians, jurists or security experts, the question of the visibility of Isl\u0101m deserves to be debated.<\/p>\n<p>This research aims to articulate the community dimension and the urban public space in the context of liberal societies. Public space leads to the question of community and vice-versa, as both of them are intimately linked. This perspective provides the opportunity to analyse the nature of religious manifestations, their expressions and their reception as \u2018counter-discourses\u2019. The liberal public space being the place of individualities, the community dimension, especially the religious one, therefore can be interpreted as a position, an action and a form of counter-power.<\/p>\n<p>In connection with these questions, we will also be led to examine the issue of religiosity as being shaped by processes inherent to the constitution of public space in the liberal context. A space that enshrines the individual dimension of conformity while rejecting the communitarian reality.<\/p>\n<p>Starting from this conceptual framework, how does the public space contribute to the emergence of forms of religiosity and \u201cdomestication of the sacred\u201d? What does it mean to be visible today? Would visibility be a means of expressing a sense of belonging to a group or an instrument of self-construction, which could be exclusively personal?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18835,"template":"","class_list":["post-18839","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"date_tournage":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The challenges of religious visibility in the liberal public space - Pluriel<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/pluriel.fuce.eu\/en\/article\/the-challenges-of-religious-visibility-in-the-liberal-public-space\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The challenges of religious visibility in the liberal public space - Pluriel\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Western modernity has engaged the religious question, over the past thirty years in processes that show an increased interaction between religiosity, visibility and urban public space.
