Nous serons heureux d’y accueillir Estelle Amy de la Bretèque (Laboratoire d’ethnologie et de sociologie comparative, UMR 7186) pour une conférence intitulée : « (Y)ézidis et (Y)ézidisme en exil »
Résumé
Le (Y)ézidisme est une religion originaire de Mésopotamie. C’est aussi un système d’organisation sociale et, en fin de compte, une manière de voir le monde. Cette présentation s’attachera à décrire les reconfigurations du (Y)ézidisme en exil, en prenant appui sur une enquête de terrain menée depuis 2019 auprès de (Y)ézidis drômois originaires de Shingal (Irak).
