Ritualization of transgressions and normativities in the European Mediterranean public space

Workshop : Ritualization of transgressions and normativities in the European Mediterranean public space

When: Monday 28 February 2022, 10:30–17:00
Where: CEFRES and online (https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87924365313)
Languages: French and English
Convenors: Michèle Baussant (CNRS, CEFRES), Yoann Morvan (CNRS, MESPOLHIS) and Alessandro Testa (Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University, associated at CEFRES),

This workshop focuses on the ritualization of transgressions and ‘normativities’ in Euro-Mediterranean public spaces. It aims to adopt an anthropological approach to contemporary European religious phenomena and rituals, both as factors of cultural, symbolic, and spatial sharing and division in Euro-Mediterranean spaces. In particular, the discussions will question the processes of secularism and secularization, of “de-secularization” or “re-enchantment,” or of political and/or social maintaining of the religious. The focus will also encompass the logics of encounters, hybridizations, tensions, and transgressions between different religious actors and practices, both in the case of majority groups and those in minorities, within public spaces that are often pluralistic and pluricultural, in Central, Eastern, and Southern Europe.
