Religion3rd congress"The globalisation and the localisation of religion"Bergen,

Norway8-10 May 2003The 3rd congress of the EASR will be organised by the

Norwegian Association for the History of Religions in collaboration with the

Department for the History of Religions at the University of Bergen. Papers

and suggestions for panels are especially invited that relate to the topic of

the globalisation and the localisation of religion.In the context of the study

of religion, globalisation refers to the effects rapid means of communication,

as well as economical, political and cultural forces of integration, are having

on the interaction of religious traditions, on the internal developments of

these traditions, and on the emergence of new religious forms. Localisation

refers to the accommodation, and creative re-interpretation, of larger

religious traditions and trends within local contexts; from one point of view,

localisation is the dialectical counterpart to globalisation. Localisation

also thematises the role of "place" in religion.Papers should address both

theoretical aspects and empirical cases relevant to the theme. Contributions

exploring historical analogies to contemporary globalisation processes, or

diachronic perspectives, are invited as well.The congress will also have status

as a special conference of the International Association for the History of

Religions, and be a venue for meetings of the IAHR International Committee and

the IAHR Executive Committee.Proposals for papers, with abstracts, should be

sent before 31 January 2003. Papers may be given in either English or

French.Einar ThomassenIKRR-ReligionOisteinsgate 3N-5007 BergenNorwayEmail:
