In these epistemological and methodological remarks on the problems posed by the historical studies of ancients Judaism and Christianity, one looks especially on the continuity and discontinuity phenomena whose impact can be “difficult” in the contemporary ideological elaborations. We give primarily general remarks on Judaism and Christianity in classical and late Antiquity with regard to the results of current research. We speak also on the relationship between Judaism and Christianity at the time where it is only one movement among others in the first, and on questions of legitimacy which resulted in conflicts causing the distinction or separation and the phasing of two religions.

SummaryThis article presents a brief appraisal of the last thirty years of the United Nations (UN) engagement on women's issues. It examines recent debates amongst international women's movements concerning the strategic benefits and dangers of a fifth UN conference on women in 2005. This article concludes that these discussions reveal a crisis among international women's movements. This crisis is linked to internal factors (such as demobilisation, depolitisation and lack of representativeness) and external factors, such as an international political context where there is a risk of backlash against women's rights. This article also highlights some solutions to this crisis.

Starting in the 1990s, Morocco intiated a process of recognition of the different identities, whether of Berber or of Jewish origin, that contributed to the formation of Moroccan identity throughout time. In fact, up until the 1990s, and according to the pan-Arabist atmosphere of the time, state policies in Morocco sought to hide and marginalize all non-Arab historical and cultural heritages. The change in policies tha occurred in the 1990s gave rise to a whole new set of issues in terms of memory and heritage politics. The interest shown by King Mohammed VI, who wanted all Jewish cemeteries in Morocco to be restored with funds coming directly from the Royal Palace, helped to recover 167 Jewish cemeteries in Morocco only in 2015. Against this background, the case of Meknes is unique and interesting to analyse. As one of the most important cities for the history of Jews in Morocco, Meknes up until today has no place of Jewish memory restored and preserved as such, except for a partial restoration of the old cemetery made in 2017. The cemetery of the ancient mellah in Meknes, in particular, presents a unique urban typology that sees the tombs nestling along its walls, the holiest among them being placed at the foot of the walls themselves, as if to protect, from this position, the entire mellah. It is then the specific case of Meknes and the forgetting of its Jewish heritage that will be the object of my analysis.

AbstractThis study is part of wider research on the history of Arab immigrants in Canada, focusing on the evolution of their identity construction and political activities. What do we know concerning a possible common identity and the political mobilization of immigrants speaking the same language, from the same region – Syria, Lebanon and Palestine – during the first period of Arab settlement in Canada? How did this group of immigrants decide to make their voices heard? Examining ethnic journals published between 1930 and 1950 brings to light traces of community identity construction, association activities, networking dynamics, broader relations with Canadian society and mobilization on political issues.
