Medieval History
International Association for the History of Religions Special Conference 2012
Religions, Science and Technology in Cultural Contexts: Dynamics of Change
Venue: NTNU ? Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 1-3 March 2012
In current public and academic debates, the complex relationships between ?religion? and ?science? tend to be reduced into one between monolithic entities. By exploring historical and contemporary interactions between religions, science and technology, a more complex understanding may be reached of the areas and ways in which they overlap, correspond, challenge and conflict with each other.
This conference seeks to explore how religions, science and technology interact and generate change (progressive, reactive, regressive), particularly in relation to such issues as the environment and climate change; the economy; welfare; life expectancy; popular representation; and sexual equality.
Of particular interest are explorations of dynamic relationships between worldviews/cosmologies, socio-cultural practices and technologies; and of ?the politics of change?, i.e. how different actors seek to convince the public of the benefits of their own approaches or of the detriment of ?the others? approaches.
The conference is organized by the Department of Archaeology and Religious Studies of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim.
Registration fee until 1 December 2011 is 250 EUR, which includes conference materials, lunches and refreshments. There will also be bursaries for participants from lower income countries.
Abstracts of 200 words and affiliation details should be submitted by 1st August 2011. For submitting your abstracts and for any type of inquiries, you are welcome to contact the Conference secretary, Filip Ivanovic ([email protected]).
