Call for Papers—AAA panel (November 16-20, 2011, Montreal, Canada):
Tracing Pedagogies of Religion
Recent anthropological literature on religion underscores the link between religious knowledge, pedagogies and disciplinary regimes thus creating a conceptual space in which to trace the multiple manners in which moral subjects are formed. From the appropriation of audio and tele-visual technologies, to the blending of religious precepts with notions of public activism to the formation of new discursive boundaries and registers of ethical being, the kinds of practices and visions that are enabled through religious pedagogical projects are increasingly accommodating of and being intertwined with secular understandings of social and political life. This panel seeks to explore how putatively distinct categories of ‘sacred’ and ‘profane’,’ divine’ and ‘earthly’, and ‘secular’ and ‘religious’ are productively reconfigured together in religious self-making and the role pedagogy plays in effecting these convergences. As such, this panel will trace how religious pedagogies contribute to the delineation of ethical practices which form social and political subjects when they are iteratively observed. Some of the questions this panel will seek to address are: How do pedagogies of religion simultaneously endorse specific social practices while also prohibiting others that may be categorized as ‘different’ or other? How religious pedagogies that are imagined to belong to a ‘virtuous’ past form legacies that contend with new forms of secular pedagogies? How do shifting boundaries of religious interpretation, language and discourse allow for reimagining the modern? Please send an abstract of approximately 250 words including your name, institutional affiliation, and contact to Nadia Loan (nl254@columbia.edu) by April 5th 2011 to be considered. Deadline for panel submission is April 15th 2011.
