CFP: Religions and Human Rights

CALL FOR PAPERS

**

International conference

**

RELIGIONS AND HUMAN RIGHTS

**

Padua (Italy), April 14-15, 2016

The relationship between religion and human rights is controversial and
debated. The aim of the international conference is to take stock of the
complex connections between religion and human rights, emphasizing that
both the definition and the application of these two concepts are
influenced by the different social and cultural contexts within which
they are placed.

Starting from the geopolitical changes which have involved contemporary
society on a global scale, the conference intends to critically evaluate
the two main narratives on this topic: on the one hand religions
understood as an element opposing the affirmation of human rights, and
on the other religions considered as agencies facilitating the
implementation of human rights. Religious rights, understood as
individual and/or collective rights, are disputed as well.

How do religious traditions and new religious communities approach human
rights issues? How do states manage religious traditions and religious
diversification? How are human rights discourses and practices affected
by the social context?

*Participants are invited to explore from different disciplinary
perspectives the following topics: *

Freedom of expression, speech, choice, association; non-discrimination;
gender issues; religion-state relations; violence; conflict; peace.

Confirmed keynote speakers:

Eileen Barker, London School of Economics
Lori Beaman, University of Ottawa
Willy Fautré, Human Rights Without Frontiers International
Silvio Ferrari, University of Milan
Enzo Pace, University of Padua
James Richardson, University of Nevada
Hans-Georg Ziebertz, University of Wuerzburg

The international conference is organized by the Joint PhD Programme on
“Human Rights, Society, and Multi-level Governance” (Universities of
Athens-Panteion, Padua, Western Sydney, Zagreb).

Scientific Committee:

Giuseppe Giordan, University of Padua
Adam Possamai, Western Sydney University
Constantin Preda, University of Bucharest
Siniša Zrinščak, University of Zagreb

Abstracts (300 words) should be sent to Giuseppe Giordan
(giuseppe.giordan@unipd.it) no later than January 15^th , 2016.

Acceptance notification will be sent by January 25^th , 2016.

There are no fees for attendance.

Call for articles: Iranian Cosmopolitanism

Call for Paper: Iranian Cosmopolitanism
Special Issue, Journal of Comparative Islamic Studies
https://journals.equinoxpub.com/index.php/CIS
Journal Editor: Ulrika Mårtensson, The Norwegian University of Science
and Technology
Special Issue Editors: Milad Odabaei, University of California,
Berkeley, and Christopher Cochran, University of California, Santa Cruz

This call for papers invites contributions that will provide theoretical
advancements in understanding textual, conceptual, historical and
sociological contours of “Iranian Cosmopolitanism.” The need for
theoretical advancement is propelled by the dilemma intrinsic to
theorization of non-European cosmopolitanisms. Conceptions of
“cosmopolitanism” destabilize the demarcations of terrestrial fixities
and invite us to consider the political and ethical significance of the
movement of peoples, things and ideas that exceed the constitution of
territorial identities. At the same time, however, cosmopolitanism’s
political and ethical registers are indebted to the vicissitudes of
philosophical and religious traditions that underlie the identity of
Europe. Inevitably, the analysis of the “cosmopolitanism” of
non-Europeans, as in Iran, put forward sociological determinations with
a European genealogy. When European sociological determinations are
reflected back into the object of study, in this case Iran, the
conclusion too easily appears that the cosmopolitanism of Iran, if it
exists, comes to Iran from Europe. Hence, many scholars have resigned to
always tracing cosmopolitanism back to Europe, where it is conceptually
at home, while others ignore this dilemma, risking disavowal so they may
better express the actuality of non-European expression of cosmopolitanism.

Highlighting this dilemma, we seek both case studies and theoretical
considerations that bear on the conceptualization of “Iranian
cosmopolitanism.” Particularly, we invite studies of religious
traditions, and the place of religion in Iranian statecraft that inform
Iranian cosmopolitanism and its ethical and political registers. We
wonder what political and religious traditions, textual flows, concepts
and exchanges can make possible dialogue with the European concept of
cosmopolitanism, perhaps bending or even breaking its meaning as a
result, and bringing forth singularities that may be otherwise hidden.
If instead such a dialogue is found to be unattainable, we ask scholars
to theorize its impossibility. What are the unique ways in which
religious traditions relate to Iranian politics, statecraft and empire
at different moments of Iranian development and decline? What is the
relation between political and religious belonging in Iran? Do they
coincide? Does one trump or engender the other? Or is political
belonging defined independently of religious affiliation? Contributors’
case studies may elaborate religious pasts and occulted presences that
express belonging to both Iran and to a world that extends beyond Iran.
They may put forth concepts and theories that have garnered to shape a
political authority that can be properly identified as Iranian, and
thereby at the same time provide contours of an Iran that belongs within
a world that exceeds its own identity.

We invite papers that explore classical Iranian political and religious
traditions; the Iranian satrapy model, its regulation of religious
difference and its expansion throughout the Islamic world; the
significance of Zoroastrianism in pre-Islamic Iran, its lives as a minor
religion in Iran and in the Indian subcontinent, and its afterlives
within the Islamic tradition and Iranian politics; the development of
Islamic tradition and Greek philosophy in Iran and Iranian milieus in
the medieval period; the genres of ethical and political treaties; the
“mirror of the prince” advice literature; Shi’a tradition as it develops
in Iranian milieus and at the same time, extends beyond Iranian
political borders. In the course of their elaborations, contributors
might also address Iran’s particular geographical location on the
Eurasian continent; its religious and political reformulations and
reinvention by moments of conquest, destruction and/or decline; its
centrality in medieval trade; its religious and political developments
amidst Iranian tajadod, “renewal,” or “modernity” in the nineteenth
century; Iran’s peculiar relation to colonization and imperial
domination of the Middle East and North Africa; its articulation of
reformist and revolutionary Islam in the late nineteenth and twentieth
century and around the Constitutional Revolution of 1906 and the Islamic
Revolution of 1979. Contributors may investigate the vocabularies and
grammar of difference, which correspond to the various and intersecting
registers of plurality, and condition the possibilities and limits of
belonging to Iran. They might do so, for example, by considering the
historical Persian Jewish community; the rise and persecution of Babism
and the Bahai faith in nineteenth century; the Kurdish and Azari
Yarsanis or Sunni Turkmans in the present. Lastly, contributors may
investigate the sources of continuity and discreteness of Iranian
historical consciousness across time.

Abstracts of up to 300 words should be submitted to Milad Odabaei and
Christopher Cochran at milado@berkeley.edu by March 1, 2016.

The contributors will hear from the editors by March 15, 2016. The
deadline for article submission is September 15, 2016. The articles,
including all notes, are expected to be between 6000-8000 words in
length and follow the journal’s style guide.

Book Announcement: Globalized Muslim Youth in the Asia Pacific

Globalized Muslim Youth in the Asia Pacific

Popular Culture in Singapore and Sydney

Kamaludeen Mohamed Nasir

ISBN 9781137543509
Publication Date November 2015
Formats Hardcover Ebook (PDF) Ebook (EPUB)
Publisher Palgrave Macmillan
Series The Modern Muslim World

Globalized Muslim Youth in the Asia Pacific is a sociological study of Muslim youth culture based on original ethnographic fieldwork in two global cities in the Asia Pacific: Singapore and Sydney. Urban young Muslims in Singapore and Sydney face similar everyday challenges, such as their minority status and low socio-economic position relative to the larger society. These are complicated by the broader processes of globalization that bring together the September 11 generation living in the Information Age. Comparing young Muslims living in these secular, multicultural cities across three domains of popular culture – hip-hop music, tattooing, and cultural consumption – this study illuminates the range of attitudes and strategies they adopt to reconcile popular youth culture with piety.

Professorship ‘Religion and Society’ (W3/W2) / Professur ‘Religion und Gesellschaft‘ (W3/W2)

The Forum International Science (FIW), University of Bonn, invites applications for a professorship (W3/W2) in ‘Religion and Society’ (professorship starting at the earliest possible date in 2016). The FIW which already has departments in science studies and the comparative study of political regimes will add a third department for the comparative study of religions.

Applicants for the professorship are expected to have competences (documented in teaching, research and publications) in the following fields: comparative study of religions in modern society; research on globalization and world society; comparison of religion with other function systems in society. The professorship will build up the department for comparative religion in close cooperation with the two other departments.

Cooperation will especially focus on proposals for third-party funding. We prepare a cooperative research project on “System/environment relations of the modern system of science, 1750 – 2015”. Therefore, applicants should be interested in interrelations of religion and science and should propose a project in this field. The other focus of cooperation will be a common master curriculum of the three departments to be designed in the next two years.

Precondition for an appointment is a habilitation thesis or similar qualifications. Formal requirements are regulated by § 36 Hochschulgesetz (HG NRW).

The University of Bonn is an equal opportunity employer. Preference will be given to suitably qualified women or handicapped people, all other considerations being equal.

Please submit your electronic application including a CV, a list of publications, a letter explaining your motivations for the application and the contours of your research program, and add three representative publications.

Applications should be sent via e-mail as a single PDF to Prof. Rudolf Stichweh (fiw@unibonn.de). Further information about the FIW can be found at www.fiw.uni-bonn.de or may be obtained from Prof. Rudolf Stichweh (rstichweh@yahoo.de). Closing date: January 31st, 2016.

Das ‚Forum Internationale Wissenschaft‘ lädt zu Bewerbungen für eine Professur ‚Religion und Gesellschaft‘ (W3/W2) ein. Das FIW wird den beiden vorhandenen Abteilungen für Wissenschaftsforschung und für das vergleichende Studium politischer Regimes in der ersten Hälfte 2016 eine weitere Abteilung für vergleichende Religionsforschung hinzufügen.

Von den Bewerberinnen und Bewerbern wird erwartet, dass sie in Lehre, Forschung und Publikation dokumentierte Kompetenzen auf folgenden Gebieten besitzen: Vergleichende Erforschung der Religionen der Moderne; Forschung über Globalisierung und Weltgesellschaft; Vergleich der Religion mit anderen Funktionssystemen der Gesellschaft. Die hauptsächliche Aufgabe der Professur ist der Aufbau der Abteilung für vergleichende Religionsforschung in möglichst enger Kooperation mit den beiden anderen Abteilungen.

Kooperation schließt insbesondere die für das FIW zunehmend wichtige Drittmitteleinwerbung ein. Zur Zeit bereitet das FIW ein größeres Drittmittelprojekt zu den ‚System/Umwelt-Beziehungen des Wissenschaftssystems der Moderne, 1750-2015‘ vor. Deshalb ist es wichtig, dass Bewerberinnen und Bewerber sich für die Interaktion von Wissenschaft und Religion interessieren und ein Projekt in diesem Bereich skizzieren. Der andere Schwerpunkt der Kooperation im FIW wird ein gemeinsamer Masterstudiengang sein, der in den nächsten beiden Jahren zu entwerfen ist.

Voraussetzung für die Einstellung sind eine Habilitation bzw. gleichwertige wissenschaftliche Leistungen. Die Einstellungsvoraussetzungen richten sich nach § 36 Hochschulgesetz (HG NRW).

Chancengleichheit ist Bestandteil unserer Personalpolitik.

Bitte reichen Sie eine elektronische Bewerbung ein, die Folgendes beinhaltet: CV, Publikationsverzeichnis, ein Schreiben zu den Motivationen für die Bewerbung und zu den Umrissen Ihres Forschungsprogramms, und fügen Sie drei repräsentative Publikationen hinzu.
