Jones" Subject: anenews Pious and the Profane: call for papers-UW-Seattle Reply-To: Scott Noegel ************ CALL FOR PAPERS. We are inviting submissions for the Annual Conference of the Western Humanities Alliance. Paper abstracts (250 words max.) due March 1, 2000. Complete panel submissions are also welcome. The theme of the conference is outlined below. THE PIOUS AND THE PROFANE - Religion and Public Culture Western Humanities Alliance - 19th Annual Conference The University of Washington, Seattle, WA October 19-21, 2000 The Western Humanities Alliance invites proposals for participation in the 19th Annual Western Humanities Conference on the theme of "The Pious and the Profane, Religion and Public Culture." The purpose of this interdisciplinary conference is to explore from a broad historical and cultural perspective the diverse forms of religiosity as a determinant of any aspect of social and public life. Participants are encouraged to investigate the influence of religion on the shaping of world and material cultures, political discourses, and the arts. The conference will be organized around five general themes: "ritual and ceremony," "place, space, and boundaries," "life and afterlife," "cultures of religion," and "contested discourses." We welcome contributions from any sector of the Humanities, including the disciplines of History, Literature, Art History, Philosophy, Geography, Cultural and Women's Studies, and Religious Studies. Ritual and Ceremony (David Knechtges) Humans long have performed ceremonial acts that are prescribed either by tradition or a ritual code. Papers for this section may address the following issues: the distinction between the "sacred" (or transcendent realm) and the profane; the relationship between ritual and language, myth, literature, and art; ritual as a legitimizing force in human society; ritual as symbolic behavior. Place, Space and Boundaries (Sarah Stein) Papers in this area should focus on the relationship between practices of religion and the construction and experience of spaces: be they private, communal, national, trans-national, post- or neo-colonial. We invite participants to challenge and expand our understanding of the permeable boundary between the pious and profane. Life and the Afterlife (Christine Goettler) Papers in this area may discuss constructions of the afterlife in various societies and cultures. Participants may address, for example, moments of transgression, the clash of competing systems, changing attitudes toward the body and the soul, passages to eternity in visionary experiences and contemporary notions of liminality in Virtual Reality. Cultures of Religion (Brannon Wheeler) Papers in this area should focus on the convergence and interplay of popular and material culture with rituals and beliefs that are associated with religion in a broad sense. Papers may be theoretical and methodological in nature or focused on the comparative analysis of ethnographic and historical examples. Contested Discourses (Eugene Vance) Papers in this section should deal with ways in which the competition (or alliance between) religious and social values within a given social group may be encoded in a contest between discourses, or even languages. How do the discourses of religious controversies conceal or express underlying social conflicts? How is the rise of militant religiosity in cultures throughout the world of our time transforming the nature of modern political discourse?
