Comment/Description

The course will explore various aspects of the concept of global religious history. "Understandings of religion have been fundamentally transformed since the nineteenth
century. The respective contradictions, ambiguities, continuities, and ruptures
can be most comprehensively grasped when viewed against the background of global
entanglements. For this purpose, the approach of global religious history proposes
a range of theoretical and methodological tools." (Strube) We will take a close look at some of these tools and ask about the benefits for our own research.
The seminar will be based on the texts of the journal Method and Theory in the Study of Religion 33 (2021).
