> >From December 13 to 15, 2001 the Dutch National Research Programme
> ÎWomen's Studies in Theology¼ will organize her second international
> conference at ÎKerk and Wereld¼, Driebergen, The Netherlands. The
> conference is entitled: Common Bodies : Everyday Practices, Gender
> and Religion
> The gendered body in its common, everyday activities and references
> is the central focus of this conference. Recognizing the highly
> abstract and often disembodied character of contemporary
> discussions on the body in relation to gender, subjectivity and
> discourse, we want to start our inquiries at a more mundane level by
> studying common bodies : human bodies and bodily practices in daily
> situations of (domestic) work and care, of sex, love and violence,
> and of prayer and ritual.
> >From this angle of corporeal agency we will discuss the meaning of
> religion, religiosity, transcendence and/or Divinity.
>
> During the conference we want to make a contribution to these debates
> by means of case studies on a variety of subjects. We therefore
> welcome a broad variety of contributions on this general theme from
> different disciplines in the field of theology and religious
> studies, from biblical, ethical, anthropological, as well as
> systematic or philosophical perspectives. We encourage papers that
> discuss biblical and theological texts and study daily (religious)
> practices, but we also long to see analyses of film, theatre,
> literature and other forms of art, as well as reflections on
> transcendence/the Divine/God from different theological perspectives.

> Sent an outline of your proposal (max. 200 words) for individual
