Abstract
The issue of religious transmission and learning has become a thriving topic
in the contemporary anthropology of religion. Driven by the creative tension
between cognitive and culturalist approaches and the exploration of new
methodological and heuristic paths addressing the problem of transmission it
prompts interesting debates and exchanges.
In this panel we invite our colleagues to explore pragmatic contexts of
religious transmission: the complex of communicational and active conditions
that affect (through perception, cognition, emotion and materiality)
individuals engaged in religious action. From this perspective, religious
transmission operates through both implicit and explicit regimes. It can
take complex and defined forms in ritual contexts, but it can also
impregnate various contexts of the quotidian through different dimensions
and agencies: discipline, imagination or aesthetics. Taking these as
fundamental dimensions of religious transmission, we invite participants to
reflect on their articulation in concrete ethnographic cases.
Call for papers is open until 25 October 2010
