DESCRIPTION:\n\nThe Käte Hamburger Kolleg Dynamics in the History of Reli
 gions between Asia and Europe devoted the academic year 2016-2017 to the s
 crutiny of the role of the trans-cendence/immanence distinction (hencefort
 h\, TID) in cases of interreligious\, intrareligious\, and intersocietal c
 ontacts.\n\nAt the basic level the TID indicates a spatial relation\, i.e.
  a transgression of borders\, thus establishing a threefold structure of 
 ‘thereʼ and ‘hereʼ and the ‘borderʼ media-ting between the two (t
 he process of interrelation) as a dynamic process. The TID is associated w
 ith (1) spatial metaphors\, and with (2) ideas of movement (transgressing)
 . The dichotomous structure of the TID enables its basic function as media
 tion. It does so via contrast\, enabling the transformation of unspecific 
 (absolute) complexity into specific complexity. As such\, the distinction 
 indicates the (processing) unity of contraries or even contradictions. The
  concept consists of a binary (dichotomous)\, but interrelating\, distinct
 ion that introduces the idea of interplay as well as of process. This inte
 rnally processing basic unity\, seen as interplay\, leads to asser-tions g
 uided by a religiously meaningful TID.\n\nThe main purpose of this confere
 nce is to summarize the results of the research carried out in Bochum duri
 ng the last twelve months. It will do this\, during September 6-8\, 2017\,
  through presentations given by invited keynote speakers as well as by cur
 rent and former KHK fellows. \nThe conference will include both specific 
 case analyses of the relevance of the TID for particular examples of relig
 ious contacts\, and also theoretical reflections on the role of this theme
  within religions East and West. The participants to the confer-ence will 
 reflect on the thematic complexity and analytical challenges\, encountered
  during the year-long research on the theme of “TID in Religious Contact
 s\,” along the lines of four analytical fields: (a) Knowledge\; (b) Expe
 rience\; (c) Ritual\; and (d) Materiality. \n\nWorkshop's programme\n\n\n
