Abstract
This article analyses the complex relations between Orthodox Christians and Muslims in the Republic of Macedonia. Over the last ten years, 350 new mosques and minarets have been built in the country, and nearly as many new churches, monasteries and chapels. As a result, there are presently nearly 2000 churches and 600 mosques in the country, which is equivalent to one church or mosque for every 800 inhabitants. In order to understand the operative logic of these developments, whereby religious communities symbolically mark their territories, we must go beyond the question of landscape and highlight the dynamics of intercultural coexistence through an analysis of public policies on religious matters. These are some of the questions which this article attempts to deal with, attaching equal importance to various areas of study: religious landscape, interculturalism and public policies.
Résumé
Cet article vise à analyser les rapports complexes islamo-orthodoxes, en prenant comme étude de cas la République de Macédoine. Au cours des dix dernières années dans le pays ont été construits près de 350 nouvelles mosquées et minarets, et presque autant de nouvelles églises, monastères et chapelles. Résultat prospectif, il y a actuellement près de 2000 églises et 600 mosquées, ou bien une église ou mosquée pour tous les 800 habitants. Pour comprendre ces nouvelles logiques de marquage symbolique de l’espace au sein des communautés religieuses, il faut aller au-delà du paysage pour faire ressortir la coexistence interculturelle et pour analyser les politiques publiques en matière religieuse. Tels sont certains des enjeux auxquels tente de répondre cet article en attachant un poids égal à différents champs d’étude : l’analyse de l’espace religieux, l’interculturalisme et la politique publique.
