Religious Encounters in Transcultural Society
This volume focuses on the various phenomena of religious encounters in a transcultural society where religion or religious traditions play a significant role in a multi-cultural concept. Religious Encounters in Transcultural Society is divided into three parts: Islamic encounters with regional religions, East Asian religious encounters, and alternative religious encounters. This book evokes the fact that religious encounters exist in every transcultural society even though they often remain hidden behind socio-cultural issues. The situation can be changed, but one culture cannot harmoniously and always contain two or multi-beliefs. The issue of religious encounters mostly arises in the transnational process of religious globalization.
Space, Place and Religious Landscapes
Exploring sacred mountains around the world, this book examines whether bonding and reverence to a mountain is intrinsic to the mountain, constructed by people, or a mutual encounter. Chapters explore mountains in England, Scotland, Wales, Italy, Ireland, the Himalaya, Japan, Greece, USA, Asia and South America, and embrace the union of sky, landscape and people to examine the religious dynamics between human and non-human entities. This book takes as its starting point the fact that mountains physically mediate between land and sky and act as metaphors for bridges from one realm to another, recognising that mountains are relational and that landscapes form personal and group cosmologies.

Images Du Tibet Aux XIXe Et XXe Siècles
"There may be no other country in the world that has given rise to so many fantastic, fascinating, and conflicting images as Tibet. In the 19th and 20th centuries, as the mysterious country on the roof of the world increasingly became the goal of travelers and the object of study, new images arose in various parts of the world.These two volumes are the first to trace the evolution, characteristics, and influence of premodern and modern images of Tibet in both Orient and Occident. Twenty-five contributions by specialists from Europe, the United States, China, and Japan present and analyze images of Tibet and Tibetan Buddhism. Tracing the formation, character, and impact of such images, these studies address a broad range of issues, from the development of Tibetology and Buddhist studies to the history of ideas spanning East and West."--

L’islam au quotidien
Cette étude, à but ethnographique, s’appuie sur l’expérience des musulmans ordinaires à Bamako/Mali pour explorer la question de la foi musulmane, dans et hors des espaces séculiers, aux regards de la théorie de la séparation du sacré et du profane. Ces musulmans ordinaires, issus de diverses catégories socioprofessionnelles, sont appréhendés en lien avec l’environnement social dans lequel ils évoluent au quotidien. Ils se distinguent les uns des autres par leur manière de concevoir et de pratiquer l’islam et prônent une forme de religiosité musulmane qui brouille au jour le jour la frontière entre le sacré et le profane. Cela dénote l’enjeu que représente la délimitation de la ligne de partage entre le sacré et le profane au Mali, surtout dans le champ de l’État.

Etudes statistiques sur la maladie et les soins au Congo et
Ce document comporte les enquêtes statistiques que l'auteur avait réalisées (tant sur la famille que sur le Mvulusi lui-même) et les documents rassemblés par le Mvulusi sur lui-même. Il fournit les données des enquêtes sous forme de fichiers SPSS. Le Mvulusi est un mouvement à but thérapeutique syncrétique fondé sur l'invocation des génies du Mayombe congolais auxquels se joignent quelques saints religieux occidentaux, et le Christ. Il a fait l'objet d'autres études scientifiques (voir Franck Hagenbucher Sacripanti, aux éditions de L'Harmattan).
