Call for Papers: Religions and global (in)equalities
Davide De Caprio (Straßburg)
Si tratta di due Open Panels che si terranno durante l’European Academy of Religion, che quest’anno avrà sede in Roma, alla Università LUISS. Qui di seguito gli abstract dei due Panels:
1. RELIGIONS AND GLOBAL (IN)EQUALITIES: RETHINKING DEHUMANIZATION TODAY (Chairs: D. De Caprio, G. De Simone, C. Leblanc, J.-F. Petit)
In its dimension of global interconnectedness, the world is experiencing and witnessing more acutely than ever new forms of catastrophe stemming purely from human initiative: genocides, deportations, and mass killings; migratory flows seeking escape from wars and the anthropogenic transformation of ecosystems; precarious coexistence between populations seeking refuge and host populations reacting negatively to the integration of cultures perceived as foreign. The intervention of normative instruments—whether state-based or international—has proven only partially capable of convincingly identifying, analyzing, resolving, or preventing these catastrophes, at times reducing their complexity to a matter of legal recognition of (in)equality. In recent decades, despite secularizing trends, it is above all the religious dimension—with its potential for both destruction and reconstruction—that has increasingly drawn the attention of researchers, both in relation to reflection on the victims and on those who produce humanitarian and/or cultural catastrophes. This Panel invites interdisciplinary contributions concerning the positive or negative impact that religious ideas, actors, symbols, and memories play in the contemporary redefinition of dehumanization.
2. PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION TODAY: TOPICS – METHODS – APPROACHES
(Chairs: B. Watson, H.-P. Grosshans; Discussants: B. Watson, D. De Caprio)
Contemporary approaches and contributions to the field of philosophy of religion can be presented. The issue of the overall EuARe conference "(In)equalities" can be addressed regarding its relevance in and for philosophical study of religion. Of particular interest are contributions which attempt to reconstruct and reorient philosophy of religion considering contemporarily relevant philosophical challenges. The panel also welcomes papers that propose new methodological approaches and studies in the field of philosophy of religion broadly construed. This panel is organized in cooperation with the European Society for Philosophy of Religion (ESPR).
La submission dei papers apre il 2 febbraio. Gli interventi dovranno essere in inglese e durare 20 minuti.
