Asiatische Gäste? Fluch oder Segen

Conférence de M. Jürg STETTLER, HES de Lucerne ITW.

"Die Zahl der asiatischen Gäste hat in der Zentralschweiz und insbesondere in Luzern in den letzten Jahren stark zugenommen. Das generiert eine beachtliche Wertschöpfung und zusätzliche Arbeitsplätze. Gleichzeitig führen das starke Wachstum sowie die zeitliche und räumliche Konzentration der Besucherströme zu Kapazitäts- und Akzeptanzproblemen. Wie ist diese Entwicklung zu beurteilen und welche Möglichkeiten und Grenzen gibt es in Bezug auf die Lenkung der Besucherströme und die Entwicklung des Tourismus?"

Islam(s) in China:
Reflecting on Muslim Diversity

Institut Confucius de l'Université de Genève Route de Lausanne 266, Chambésy

Colloque organisé par l'Institut Confucius de l'Université de Genève.
Programme

The diversity of Islam that we observe today in China has its origins in a centuries-old relationship with Chinese society, which has taken many forms and touched upon various political, institutional, cultural or economic issues. While we tend to posit a global Islam that exists as an abstract ideal, we attempt at the same time to remain mindful of the regional variations that makes it impossible to reduce such a tradition to a monolith. The emergence of new approaches to the study of religion and ethnic minorities has challenged previous research methodologies. In the PRC especially, and for more than thirty years already, the presence of foreign Muslims, new conversions to Islam, ethnic blending, or the emergence of new policies to project Islamic cultural heritage, encompass a complex mosaic of accommodation, adjustment, preservation, and, at times, resistance, which reveal new meanings created by communities who attempt to reconcile perceived disparities between Islamic ideals and changing social realities. This Islamic revival is a new phenomenon that complexifies even further the study of Islam in China. Framed by diverse reflections throughout China, this workshop aims to discuss broadly this large process and to highlight differences among places, times, and individuals with ambition of giving new perspectives on the study of Islam and its diversity in China.
