DESCRIPTION:Tradition is a central concept with respect to religion. At th
 e same time\, it occupies a uniquely vague space between the life of relig
 ion as it is experienced from within (the “emic”)\, on the one hand\, 
 and the more objectively-inclined scholarly study of religion from without
  (the “etic”). From within\, ‘tradition’ is a concept that helps e
 xpress historical continuity and to explain practices that do not seem to 
 be commanded by the religion’s main structures of authority (“it’s a
  tradition”). From without\, ‘tradition’ is a term we use to replace
  the perplexing and elusive ‘religion.’\n\nBeing at the intersection o
 f diverse points of view\, ‘Tradition’ is therefore a valuable concept
  in order to bridge the gap between the real life of religion and the theo
 retical account we hope to provide of it\, and it leads us toward the ques
 tions of religious identity that we intend to be at the heart of our discu
 ssion. Traditions\, or religions\, somehow know who they are\, in spite of
  the drastic historical changes they go through.\n\nReligions have many wa
 ys in which they look at and reflect upon themselves\, and the process of 
 self-reflection forms an important aspect of their identity and of the pro
 cess behind their development. We thus ask how traditions know who they ar
 e? How do they define themselves? How do they speak of continuity in face 
 of change\, acknowledging their identity along the way?\n\nWorkshop-Progra
