L'ouvrage collectif Asia and the Secular. Francophones Perspectives in a Global Age est paru aux éditions De Gruyter. Dirigé par Pascal Bourdeaux, Eddy Dufourmont, André Laliberté et Rémy Madinier, ce livre s'intéresse aux laïcités dans le contexte de l'Asie contemporaine, et d'un point de vue historique et sémantique, ainsi qu'aux différentes formes qu'elles prennent selon les États.

Présentation : 

"This volume looks at the secular state in the context of contemporary Asia and investigates whether there existed before modernity antecedents to the condition of secularity, understood as the differentiation of the sphere of the religious from other spheres of social life. The chapters presented in this book examine this issue in national contexts by looking at the historical formation of lexicons that defined the "secular", the "secular state," and "secularism". This approach requires paying attention to modern vernacular languages and their precedents in written traditions with often a very long tradition. This book presents three interpretive frameworks: multiple modernities, variety of secularisms, and typologies of post-colonial secular states."
