DESCRIPTION:Iconic Religion in Public Space (1)\nPanelleitung: Kim Knott\n
 Panel des CERES-Forschungsprojekts Iconic Religion: How Imagineries of Rel
 igious Encounter Structure Urban Space\nWithin  ongoing processes of plura
 lisation across Europe religious icons are  becoming increasingly importan
 t. Religious icons mediate between  religious concepts and objects and mat
 erialize religion in the public  space. In this two session panel we will 
 consider to what extent such  icons\, in the form of sacred buildings and 
 sites\, clothing\, public  events etc\, generate social imaginaries about 
 different religions and  their co-existence. In what ways do they invoke o
 r feed into debates  about the place of religion in ‘secular’ public l
 ife\, and the management  ofreligious diversity? Do they stimulate positiv
 e or negative  encounters? Examining religious icons in relation to the en
 counter  between different religious traditions and between the religious 
 and the  secular\, the panel will discuss how ‘iconicity’ is denoted o
 r  generated\, the extent to which icons express or encapsulate encounter\
 ,  and how icons may impact on and shape public space.\nMit:\n\nBirgit Mey
