DESCRIPTION:Iconic Religion in Public Space (1)\nPanel Chair: Kim Knott\nP
 anel of the CERES research project Iconic Religion: How Imagineries of Rel
 igious Encounter Structure Urban Space\nWithin ongoing processes of plural
 isation across Europe religious icons are becoming increasingly important.
  Religious icons mediate between religious concepts and objects and materi
 alize religion in the public space. In this two session panel we will cons
 ider to what extent such icons\, in the form of sacred buildings and sites
 \, clothing\, public events etc\, generate social imaginaries about differ
 ent religions and their co-existence. In what ways do they invoke or feed 
 into debates about the place of religion in ‘secular’ public life\, an
 d the management ofreligious diversity? Do they stimulate positive or nega
 tive encounters? Examining religious icons in relation to the encounter be
 tween different religious traditions and between the religious and the sec
 ular\, the panel will discuss how ‘iconicity’ is denoted or generated\
 , the extent to which icons express or encapsulate encounter\, and how ico
 ns may impact on and shape public space.\nWith:\n\nBirgit Meyer: Iconic Re
