DESCRIPTION:The workshop on “Ritual\, Normativity\, and Representation
 ” brings together young and established scholars from the Käte Hamburge
 r Kolleg of the Center for Religious Studies (CERES) and the Department of
  Storia\, Antropologia\, Religioni\, Arte\, Spettacolo (SARAS) at Sapienza
  University of Rome.\n\nFor two days the two teams of researchers will dis
 cuss how they explored and developed new methods and theories in the study
  of religious contacts. The exploration of “ritual\,” “normativity\,
 ” and “representation\,” as major themes in the study of religious c
 ontact\, will provide avenues of interpretation common to the two European
  schools in the study of religion. The participants will investigate not o
 nly how religious contacts are experienced and documented\, but also the w
 ays in which they also become subject to embodiment and stigmatization thr
 ough representation and norms\, on one hand\, and through ritual practices
  and discourses about rituals\, on the other hand.\n\nThe KHK team will pr
 esent the work of its four Focus Groups (“Knowledge\,” “Experience\,
 ” “Media\,” and “Action”) in establishing and testing methodolog
 y of religious contact. Each presentation is expected to entail both a the
 oretical part and a case study illustrating its chosen methodological pers
 pective. The team from Sapienza University will present its own exploratio
 ns in the study of religion as representation\, ritual\, and means of nego
 tiation between politics and practices\, as they are documented in the las
 t years’ issues of the journal Studi e Materiali di Storia delle Religio
 ni: “religion as a colonial concept\,” “the gods of the others\, the
  gods and the others\,” “art and history in the religious traditions o
 f India\,” “religions in movement\,” and “defining religious minor
 ities.” The participants from both schools choose historical and contemp
 orary case studies of religious contacts documented in Asia and/or Europe 
 and the Mediterranean.\n\nWorkshop's program\n\n
