Negotiating Religion: Inquiries into the History and Present of Religious Accommodation
23 November 11
In these four workshops, we will present and debate the complex processes through which religious communities create or defend their place in a given commonwealth, both in history and in our world today.
Our discussion focuses on the communities’ ability to formulate and present their claims, to identify potential spokespeople and their addressees, to secure their institutions and assert their physical and political presence. A major emphasis will fall on the epistemological, political and social conditions facilitating or complicating processes of negotiation.
