Islam & Otherness. Proceedings of the Pluriel congress in Beirut

Edited by Michel Younès, Ali Mostfa and Roula Talhouk

“In a contemporary context marked by a growing tendency to lock oneself into oppositional logics, reflection on otherness in Islam opens up an indispensable perspective for understanding the way in which the other is perceived. Examining this relationship highlights the norms that govern interactions and the normative frameworks, often operating in depth, that govern the resulting relationships with the other. It was in the context of this debate that the 3rd International PLURIEL Congress was organised at St Joseph’s University, Beirut, from 23 to 25 May 2022, bringing together researchers from different universities around the world. The present proceedings highlight these dynamics through in-depth analyses, exploring the contemporary and historical issues linked to this articulation. They thus contribute to a broader understanding, in a complex global context, of the various ways of considering and defining the other in Islam.

With contributions from : Mohamed-Ali ADRAOUI, Anwar ALAM, Dirk ANSORGE, Samir ARBACHE, Farid BOUCHIBA, Rémi CAUCANAS, Salim DACCACHE, Antoine FLEYFEL, Mohamed Gamal ALI, Asli KARACA, Ali MOSTFA, Emmanuel PISANI, Gabriel S. REYNOLDS, Raja SAKRANI, Thomas RICHARD, Wael SALEH, Michel YOUNÈS.”

“Dans un contexte contemporain marqué par une tendance croissante à s’enfermer dans des logiques d’opposition, la réflexion sur l’altérité en islam ouvre une perspective indispensable à la compréhension de la manière dont l’autre est perçu. L’examen de ce rapport met en lumière des normes qui régissent les interactions et les cadres normatifs, souvent opérant en profondeur, qui gouvernent les relations à l’autre qui en découlent. C’est dans le contexte de ce débat que le 3e Congrès international de PLURIEL a été organisé à l’Université St Joseph, à Beyrouth, du 23 au 25 mai 2022, réunissant des chercheurs de différentes universités du monde. Les présents actes mettent en lumière ces dynamiques à travers des analyses approfondies, explorant les enjeux contemporains et historiques liés à cette articulation. Ils contribuent ainsi à une compréhension élargie, dans un contexte mondial complexe, des diverses manières d’envisager et de définir l’autre en islam.
