“…The objective was to transform the notion of laïcité into a repressive instrument of control, directed against Islam, while, at the same time, turning it into a justification of, and vehicle for, a new politics of identity. 61 In the years that followed, the propagation and promotion of this new restrictive, identitarian model of laïcité became central to Nicolas Sarkozy's increasingly desperate attempt to retain Front national voters who in 2007 had voted for him but who in the meantime had become increasingly disenchanted with him as a person and with his policies. From the center right, the reinterpretation of laïcité quickly diffused among the far right.…”

Responding to Complex Diversity in Europe and Canada ONLINE WORKING PAPER SERIES RECODE, a research networking programme financed through the European Science Foundation (ESF), is intended to explore to what extent the processes of transnationalisation, migration, religious mobilisation and cultural differentiation entail a new configuration of social conflict in post-industrial societies-a possible new constellation labelled complex diversity. RECODE brings together scholars from across Europe and Canada in a series of scientific activities. More information about the programme and the working papers series is available via the RECODE websites: www.recode.fi www.recode.info www.esf.org/recode

“…Yet the meaning of laïcité seems to have evolved to incorporate cultural dimensions, much to the concern of scholars such as Philippe Gaudin and Jean Baubérot. 13 However, the question of visibility in the open space is no stranger in France's constitutional and democratic state, which was powerfully illustrated by waves of local procession bans in the nineteenth century. The Catholic Church deliberately employed processions to increase its urban visibility and to tangibly underscore its relevance to society in response to rapid social and political changes.…”

Cet article examine l'illégalité des décisions d'interdiction du burkini en France du point de vue de la tolérance, analysant les textes juridiques et les expressions politiques des maires par rapport à des facteurs caractéristiques de la tolérance moderne-vérité, bien commun, unité extérieure, paix et ordre publics, confiance. Bien que les juridictions supérieures en France et en Europe aient tendance à défendre la liberté individuelle dans ce type de cas, les tendances locales à l'intolérance qui visent la visibilité de l'altérité dans l'espace public sont profondément préoccupantes. De telles tendances pourraient se traduire par diverses réglementations restrictives qui impliquent de se prémunir contre une régression de la liberté religieuse individuelle.

“…In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the dominant conception in France was Gallicanism, an arrangement of close cooperation between the state and the French Catholic Church, which in turn had autonomy from the Vatican. Thus Catholicism enjoyed a sort of monopolistic position (Baubérot, 2012, p. 179). According to Ferdinand Buisson, the philosopher and first theoriser of laïcité , the principle was introduced in France with the Revolution and the DDHC through the creation of a State that was independent from the Church, detached from any religion and the recognition of human rights not considered to be given by God (1882, p. 1469).…”

Overcoming essentialisation: a comparative study of ‘living-together’ conceptions

This paper compares two judgments of constitutional courts (French and German) assessing the constitutionality of statutes concerning veil-wearing and focuses on the underlying conceptions of ‘living together’. This means that what is actually compared is the self-understanding of the respective majority in the two societies as stated in the decisions. This is done by disassembling the concept of ‘living together’ into three elements: the notion of the individual, the meaning of belonging to the national community and the space accorded to religion in public. Each section of this paper examines one of these elements as they are entailed in the judgments and positions them critically within the respective legal cultural and historical contexts. The main aim of this paper is methodological in nature and is namely to show how comparative legal cultural studies can avoid essentialisation and rather highlight the complexity of every cultural context.
