This book offers new perspectives on global phenomena that play a major role in today’s society and deeply shape the actions of individuals, organizations and nations. In a complex and rapidly changing environment, decision-makers need to gain a better understanding of global phenomena to adapt and to anticipate the evolution of the global context. The authors—ten renowned international scholars of anthropology, economics, law, management and political science—propose an interdisciplinary and comparative approach to social sciences. They analyse how international phenomena, such as globalisation or transnationalisation, transform the disciplines of social sciences from an epistemological standpoint. Explaining what ‘global' means in difference disciplines, the authors analyse several global phenomena that characterise today’s international environment such as the circulation of norms and ideas, the linkages between war and globalization, corporate governance, and the impact of multinational enterprises on sustainable development and poverty reduction. Providing examples of analytical disciplinary approaches and guidelines for decision-makers in a fast-changing global context this book will be useful to scholars and students of anthropology, economics, law, management and political science as well as practitioners in the private and public sectors.

The various ethnologists and anthropologists contributing to this volume focus on the "self"-perspective in relation to religion and spirituality: on how religiosity is personally thought, dreamt, imagined, created, felt, perceived and experienced, in its various subjective forms. The personal motive and practice in religion is here put to the front. One can see this perspective also reflected in today's society, in the ways people, most strongly in the West, are nowadays dealing with religion, religiosity or spirituality, often drifted far away from the institutional church organizations. As a deeply personal experience, it is amazing how little effort is undertaken in a scholarly way to put the personal reflections, utterings and experiences into words. A wide variety of personal religious or spiritual experiences, Christian and non-Christian, recent and historical, are now described and analysed in this fascinating volume.

New Approaches to Personal Religiosity

Experiencing Religion

Hadj Miliani

Un nouveau spectre hante les esprits: la mondialisation. Celle de l'économie est en cours mais plus redoutée est celle des cultures, des sociétés et des identités qu'il faudrait protéger contre la vague uniformisante qui déferle sur le monde. L'image a le mérite de la simplicité mais sa pertinence suppose d'être examinée plus avant. C'est ce doute qui fut au cœur d'un colloque qui s'était donné pour tâche de scruter les processus de mondialisation à la lumière des arts. Bien mieux qu'un baromètre indiquant en temps réel la fluctuation des valeurs, l'art est une surface sensible aux forces et aux mouvements virtuels qui font le monde. Par sa localisation géographique, historique, culturelle et politique, le Maghreb, diasporas comprises, offre un remarquable observatoire et laboratoire des transformations en cours. D'où le choix d'interroger les incidences et les résistances des pratiques artistiques dans le contexte transculturel de cette région. Ce qui survient est de l'ordre des incidences, que les artistes ont d'abord vocation à déclarer dans leurs œuvres, qui traduisent également des résistances, moins défensives que créatrices et moins enracinées que construites selon des stratégies d'alliance, de mixage et d'hybridation. Ce volume regroupe ainsi un ensemble de questionnements théoriques sur les concepts de mondialisation, de résistance, d'incidence, de transculturalité, de crise. Trois sections consacrées successivement aux questions du patrimoine, de l'enseignement des arts et des imaginaires littéraires, en scrutent les horizons sociaux et culturels.
