| ”Telciu Summer Conferences” 2nd edition |
25-26 July 2014
TELCIU, BISTRIȚA-NĂSĂUD
COUNTY, TRANSYLVANIA, ROMANIA
Knowing and understanding a society essentially involves
the study of religious life, an enterprise which, if not undertaken, would
leave us prisoners to simplistic and deformed images. In the study of religious
life, the relationship between Religion-Culture-Society establishes itself by
virtue of the fact that beyond the theological and spiritual content inherent
to any religion, that same Religion is
a social and cultural phenomenon.
Consequently, interdisciplinary approaches are much more suitable to the
present topic, creating the premises for researches which accomplish, on the
one hand, the avoidance of the characteristic reductions and dogmatisms of both
scientific and theological circles, and
on the other, the possibility for new aspects to be brought into view or
suggestions for fruitful interpretations and analyses.
As with the previous editions of the “Telciu Summer
Conferences”, interdisciplinarity is a basic premise this year also, pursuing
the convergence of researchers that cultivate interdisciplinarity in their
activity, as well as the dialog between specialists and enthusiasts from
different domains. Consequently, we aim at approaching religious life from
various angles, without operating geographical, confessional or chronological
limitations. For this edition we advance several topics for discussion,
reminding you that beside these other may be added at the suggestion of those
interested to attend:
-
Religion and religious life in the era of
globalization.
-
Religious life and modernization.
-
Religion and daily life.
-
Religious life in the field of ideology.
-
Ecumenism along the ages: from the dialogue of
theologies to coexistence.
-
Religion and community.
-
Religion vs. Atheism.
-
The religious imaginary and popular culture.
-
The religious life and the Internet
