DESCRIPTION:The Käte Hamburger Kolleg Dynamics in the History of Religion
 s between Asia and Europe devoted the academic year 2016-2017 to the scrut
 iny of the role of the trans-cendence/immanence distinction (henceforth\, 
 TID) in cases of interreligious\, intrareligious\, and intersocietal conta
 cts.\n\nAt the basic level the TID indicates a spatial relation\, i.e. a t
 ransgression of borders\, thus establishing a threefold structure of ‘th
 ereʼ and ‘hereʼ and the ‘borderʼ media-ting between the two (the pr
 ocess of interrelation) as a dynamic process. The TID is associated with (
 1) spatial metaphors\, and with (2) ideas of movement (transgressing). The
  dichotomous structure of the TID enables its basic function as mediation.
  It does so via contrast\, enabling the transformation of unspecific (abso
 lute) complexity into specific complexity. As such\, the distinction indic
 ates the (processing) unity of contraries or even contradictions. The conc
 ept consists of a binary (dichotomous)\, but interrelating\, distinction t
 hat introduces the idea of interplay as well as of process. This internall
 y processing basic unity\, seen as interplay\, leads to asser-tions guided
  by a religiously meaningful TID.\n\nThe main purpose of this conference i
 s to summarize the results of the research carried out in Bochum during th
 e last twelve months. It will do this\, during September 6-8\, 2017\, thro
 ugh presentations given by invited keynote speakers as well as by current 
 and former KHK fellows. \nThe conference will include both specific case 
 analyses of the relevance of the TID for particular examples of religious 
 contacts\, and also theoretical reflections on the role of this theme with
 in religions East and West. The participants to the confer-ence will refle
 ct on the thematic complexity and analytical challenges\, encountered duri
 ng the year-long research on the theme of “TID in Religious Contacts\,
 ” along the lines of four analytical fields: (a) Knowledge\; (b) Experie
 nce\; (c) Ritual\; and (d) Materiality. \n\nWorkshop's programme\n
