3/4/09 fyi Elisabeth ------- HOW VIRTUAL IS REALITY? We would like to call your attention to this year's Summer School "How Virtual is reality?" (http://how-virtual-is-reality.eu/) held in Bremen (Germany) from July 10 to July 19. The course is mainly addressed to graduate and postgraduate students like Master students and PhD candidates, but undergraduates with experience in the field are also very welcome to apply! As a cooperation of the University of Bremen, the University of Oldenburg and the Jacobs-University (Bremen) the Summer course will broach the issue of the relevance of new environments like "Second Life" or "World of Warcraft" for nowadays culture and social life with special focus on rituals and religions. Instructed by more than 15 international teachers, the participants of the Summer School will engage into the interdisciplinary study of practical methods and theoretical approaches for the scientific handling of ritual and media. The media will not only be subject to methodological, theoretical and practical research and discussion but will also serve as platform for academic exchange and teaching. After this Summer School participants will be able to design and perform research projects on religion in and within Virtual Worlds. Please forward this information to everyone who might be interested in the course! A banner and a poster will soon be available on the "Media" section of the website. We are looking forward to many interesting applications! The organizers Kerstin Radde-Antweiler Simone Heidbrink -- <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Dr. phil. Dipl. Theol.
