The aim of this exploratory conference is to bring together
scholars working on chronologically and geographically
separated theatres of christianization. In this context,
Latin Christendom is understood to include (Western)
European missions to all parts of the globe, and mission
to embrace all forms of religio-political expanisionism.
Papers are invited on such topics as (1) narratives and
theories of territory, conquest and settlement derived from
or referred to the Bible, (2) emergent histories of Christian
empire and of the medieval and early modern nation, and
(3) ideas and stories of land-title, nationhood and empire
among colonized/christianized peoples before, during
and after the experience of Christian missions.
Comparative and interdisciplinary perspectives will be
especially welcome. The deadline for abstracts/proposals
(max. 500 words) is 01 March 2002. Please also include a
short biography.
