DESCRIPTION:The conference is twofold into two parts:\n\nThe first day of 
 the conference (6 June 2017) will focus on the impact of colonialization o
 n the development of religious language.\n\nThe early period of colonialis
 m confronted a militant Roman Catholicism seeking to convert indigenous pe
 oples to the Latin Church with new linguistic challenges. Since failures o
 f mission could no longer be overseen\, problems of translating religious 
 language became paramount in theoretical considerations. Reflections on la
 nguage and theory of mission were closely connected.\n\nThe brutal exploit
 ation of the colonized lands also triggered processes of reflection and al
 ternative methods of mission\, based on considerations on communication an
 d translation. As it was not possible to refer to commonly shared conceptu
 al and historical contexts\, the reference to the senses as a medium of th
 e recognition of God became more important.\n\nIn its first part the joint
  workshop intends to examine the influence of colonial encounters on the f
 ormation and development of religious language in both Europe and the colo
 nies. It attempts to scrutinize if knowledge of non-European languages cha
 llenged and changed religious concepts and notions in the European languag
 e.\n\nAs the considerations on language evolved from European discussions 
 in the wake of Humanism\, Hebraism and the Reformation we intend to apply 
 and further develop the more general results of our former workshops on 'R
 eligious Language' (May 2012\, June 2013\, February 2014). \n\nThe second
  and third days of the conference (7-8 June 2017) will focus on the ways t
 hat colonized people "subtly subverted" their colonial overlords using rel
 igious expression (e.g.s ritual\, text\, music\, etc.).\n\nThe "Subtle Sub
 versions" workshop will focus on the interactions between colonized people
 s and their colonizers in which religion and religious expression were sit
 es through which resistance could be enacted. In contrast to some movement
 s that directly confronted their colonial oppressors (i.e. through warfare
 )\, we are interested in the subtle ways that colonized peoples used relig
 ious rhetoric\, performance\, and artistic productions to articulate the w
 orld around them that inherently resisted foreign military or administrati
 ve control. Particularly\, we will explore how these subtle subversions sh
 aped the colonial worlds for both the colonized and the colonizers and the
  lasting legacy that these strategies have had in our understanding of the
  Religious Studies' taxonomies of "World Religions" and "Indigenous Religi
 ons." \n\nProgramme of the conference\n
