Offizielle Kursbeschreibung: We explore the dynamic boundaries between the religious and the political spheres in modern societies. We especially invite the participants to focus on the shifts in the Eastern European region connected to the (post)socialist experience. How did and do religions position themselves in the public and political sphere? How were and are they treated by state officials? Is the societal transition of the 90s to be described as a total rupture or are the continuities and paths which connect both eras on an empirical or even structural level? The seminar is organized in corporation with Vilnius University and will thus take place as a virtual Zoom-meeting in April and a week-long workshop in May with the presence of a group of students from Vilnius. It will be held in English and addresses Master students and advanced Bachelor students. The seminar also involves parts of self-study, when the students prepare a presentation to be held at the workshop. This workshop in May will consist of - discussions of key texts - presentation of students’ (planned or accomplished) projects - group work on religious representations in the public sphere in Leipzig
Organisatorisches: Dates: 6. April 2022, 4-7 p.m. 16.-21. May 2022, t.b.a.
