DESCRIPTION:Change we need. Dynamics in the History of Religions between s
 emantics and Social forms\nVolkhard Krech (CERES\, KHK)\nSocial change in 
 general is usually conceptualized as an ongoing process (e.g.\, as “mode
 rnization”). However\, there could be no innovation if there was no cont
 inuity (e.g.\, “tradition”). The same holds true for the history of re
 ligions. It will be argued that the history of religions can be conceptual
 ized best by considering the dialectics between process and structure\, co
 ndensation and diffusion as well as dynamics and stability. The history of
  religions proceeds between these (and other) poles. The oscillation is ba
 sed on the interplay between semantics and social forms. Free floating sem
 antics are canalized inspecial social forms (groups\, currents\, organizat
 ions)\, and social forms are legitimized by certain semantics.\nThis paper
  will be presented in panel Theorizing and Analyzing Religious Change (28-
 201 | 216)
