3RD CONGRESS OF THE EASR BY THE NORWEGIAN ASSOCIATION

FOR THE HISTORY OF RELIGIONS

 

The 3rd congress of the EASR will be organised by the Norwegian

Association for the History of Religions in collaboration with the Department

for the History of Religions at the University of Bergen from May 8 - 10,

2003 at Bergen, Norway . Papers and suggestions for panels are especially

invited that relate to the topic of the globalization and the localization of

religion. In the context of the study of religion, globalization refers to

the effects rapid means of communication, as well as economical, political

and cultural forces of integration, are having on the interaction of

religious traditions, on the internal developments of these traditions, and

on the emergence of new religious forms. Localization refers to the

accommodation, and creative re-interpretation, of larger religious traditions

and trends within local contexts; from one point of view, localization is the

dialectical counterpart to globalization. Localization also thematises the

role of "place" in religion.The congress will also have status as a special

conference of the International Association for the History of Religions, and

be a venue for meetings of the IAHR International Committee and the IAHR

Executive Committee.Proposals for papers, with abstracts, should be sent to

Einar Thomassen, IKRR-Religion, Oisteinsgate 3., N-5007 Bergen, Norway,
