ESF-LiU Conference
Historiography of Religion : New approaches to origins of narrating a religious past
10-14 September 2012
Norrköping, Sweden
Chaired by:

Co-Chaired by:
Susanne Rau, Department of History, University of Erfurt, DE
Programme |
The conference will focus on the question: How, under which conditions and with which consequences are religions historicized? The conference aims at furthering the study of religion as of historiography by analysing how religious groups (or their adversaries) employ historical narratives in the construction of their identities or how such groups are invented by later historiography (comparative historiography). Thus the biases and elisions of current analytical and descriptive frames have to be analysed, too (history of research).
