o
Accompanying interpersonal and
institutional dynamics related to freedom of conscience, accommodations between
the Republic and religious communities about inclusive interpretations of
religious ethics, respecting the law and human dignity (as defined by the
European Union);
o
Support for social
interventions, taking into account both the breadth, diversity and topographic
complexity of the field that we are keen to understand, based on universally
inclusive definitions of Secularism (Laïcité)
and Republican social and ecological dynamics (bergsonian & todian perspectives);
o
Support in the deconstruction
of discriminating analysis grids, in order to understand the wealth of
different epistemological referents without categorizing individuals in a performative
manner, based neither solely on their origins nor on the social categories they
belong to (whether ethnic, religious, professional, etc. - butlerian
perspective);
o
Accompanying the
understanding, interpreting, and appropriating will to reinforce a practice of
the spiritual traditions, within a universally egalitarian paradigm, consistent
with an ethic based on the well-being of all, adapted to social contexts and
present times (bourdivian perspective);
o
Development of specialized
indicators to put social and political data in perspective concerning what is
freedom of conscience, and what reveals a radicalization process (psychological
effects of infrahumanisation, stages of radicalism in a context of social
agentivity quest, responsibility of the various social and political actors on
these individual / community / Republican processes, etc. – leyensian &
moscovician perspectives);
o Support in task planning which assesses the discriminatory / radicalization process (changes in socio-cognitive representations, group dynamic manipulation between honest people, hysteresis and "radical" rupture of positive feedback loops related to violence).

With a foreword from Professor Jan Jaap de Ruiter. Translation and Afterword by Adi S. Bharat. --
In Homosexuality, Transidentity, and Islam: A Study of Scripture Confronting the Politics of Gender and Sexuality,
Ludovic-Mohamed Zahed systematically analyses the entirety of Islamic
scriptural sources that relate to the question of gender and sexuality
in relation to their historical contexts. Through an approach that is
certainly more politically engaged than that of most Islamic thinkers of
our time, he clarifies key theological concepts that may seem esoteric
to the uninitiated. In doing so, he makes a compelling case for the
compatibility of sexual and gender diversity within Islam. Zahed also
examines the historical and contemporary socio-political impacts of
inclusive and exclusive (or, quite simply, homophobic, transphobic, and
misogynistic) interpretations of scripture. This important study
dynamically examines the connections between scripture, interpretation,
and the politics of gender and sexuality. |
