This volume investigates various processes by which world religions become localized, as well as how local traditions in Southeast Asia and Melanesia become universalized. In the name of modernity and progress, the contemporary Southeast Asian states tend to press their populations to have a ‘religion,' claiming that their local, indigenous practices and traditions do not constitute religion. Authors analyze this ‘religionization,’ addressing how local people appropriate religion as a category to define some of their practices as differentiated from others, whether they want to have a religion or are constrained to demonstrate that they profess one. Thus, ‘religion’ is what is regarded as such by these local actors, which might not correspond to what counts as religion for the observer. Furthermore, local actors do not always concur regarding what their religion is about, as religion is a contested issue. In consequence, each of the case studies in this volume purposes to elucidate what gets identified and legitimized as ‘religion’, by whom, for what purpose, and under what political conditions.

A la fin du XIXe siècle, Thomas Edison prophétisait au sujet de son kinetograph : " Je crois que, dans les années à venir, des opéras pourront être donnés au Metropolitan de New York sans qu'ils diffèrent en rien de l'original, mais avec des artistes et des musiciens morts depuis longtemps. " Plus d'un siècle après, on peut s'amuser de l'approximation et de la pertinence de tels propos, alors que les représentations d'opéra les plus prestigieuses sont retransmises en direct dans les salles de cinéma du monde entier. Aujourd'hui, le cinéma reste aussi inséparable de l'opéra qu'il l'était à ses débuts, à travers des relations institutionnelles, techniques, esthétiques, génériques, formelles et humaines multiples. L'étude de ces interactions, qui se répètent et se réinventent constamment, est l'objet de ce livre, divisé en cinq parties : " Espaces de transition entre opéra et cinéma, des pionniers à l'époque du muet ", " L'opéra sous l'influence du cinéma ", " Filmer, capter et montrer l'opéra ", " La question de l'opératique au cinéma ", et " Interactions multiples et multiformes ". Les contributions sont complétées d'entretiens avec la compositrice Michèle Reverdy et les réalisateurs Philippe Béziat, Benoît Jacquot, Jacques Martineau et Olivier Simonnet.
