Conference: Religion and Space | 30–31 October, BremenReligious practices, rituals, affiliations and forms of communication always have a spatial dimension from which a number of important questions arise: How do spatial configurations and conditions constitute religious experiences, practices, rituals and orientations? Which spatial arrangements have a productive or obstructive effect on religious mobilisation processes? How does the religious change through changing spatial logics? These and other topics as well as methodological aspects will be the themes of this conference of the Sociology of Religion Section of the German Sociological Association (Sektion Religionssoziologie in der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Soziologie). The organisers are Insa Pruisken and our Senior Research Fellow Marian Burchardt.
