Religion |
The issue of religions in modern and post-modern settings is a current topic of interest of Benoit Challand, working on: He presented a new research project at the International Summer Academy (July 2006) dedicated to "Islam and the Repositioning of Religion ", at Kulturwissenschaftsinstitut, Essen (Germay) on the differentiated impact of religion on informal networks of solidarity in pre- and modern settings. The title of the project is "Practical Kinship In The Early 1900s’ Swiss Alps Compared With The Palestinian Hamula Against The Backdrop Of Emerging Modernity". He wrote different papers, as part of his Marie Curie Fellowship, dealing with the increasing role that religions play in the public spheres, European and Middle Eastern alike. Some of these will be published in collective volumes dealing with political theory and with religions in the public sphere in Europe. |
