> *Conference announcement and Call for Papers - Rethinking Religion in
> India III*
>
> Dear friends and colleagues,
>
> We are pleased to announce the third conference of the five-year
> conference cluster Rethinking Religion in India: European
> Representations and Indian Responses, which will take place from 11 to
> 14 October 2011 at the University of Pardubice in the Czech Republic.
>
> Theme:
>
> Today, a virtual consensus has come into being among scholars that the
> dominant modern descriptions of Hinduism, Brahmanism, Vedism, Sikhism,
> Jainism, ... are the result of collaboration between Europeans and
> Indians. Scholars like Brian Pennington, Phillip Wagoner, Thomas
> Trautmann, and others have characterised this collaboration as a kind
> of dialogue - a dialogue between people belonging to two different
> cultures possessing different conceptual frameworks. This dialogue, it
> is said, has resulted in descriptions that contain elements of both
> sides and are therefore neither entirely European nor entirely Indian.
>
> In the third Rethinking Religion in India conference we want to take a
> closer look at this consensus, at its implications and examine whether
> and how it helps us in the study of religion in India.
>
> The conference will work towards these ambitions in three formats:
>
> 1. The Platform Sessions: Monologue or Dialogue?
> In three sessions, three clearly formulated theses will be discussed
> by four experts. The speakers invited for the sessions are: Prof.
> Arvind Mandair, Prof. Brian Pennington, Prof. Nicholas Dirks and Prof.
> S.N. Balagangadhara (speakers to be confirmed).
>
> 2. The Roundtable Sessions: The Indian Response
> In these plenary sessions we will look at the Indian side of the
> dialogue: how have Indians responded to the European descriptions of
> their religion and culture?
>
> 3. The Parallel Sessions: in the Parallel Paper Sessions scholars will
> present their research on one of the themes given below. In the "How
> to...?" Workshops there will be more room for participation from the
> public.
>
> A call for papers for the Parallel Paper Sessions is open on the
> following themes:
>
> - The colonial construction of Hinduism
> - The caste system and Indian religion
> - Secularism in Europe and India
> - Said and Orientalism: dead or alive?
> - European representations of India
> - What does the modernization of Indian traditions mean?
> - Islamic mysticism in European and Indian perspective
>
> We also invite submissions of proposals for "How to??" Workshops.
>
> |For more information on all the sessions please visit our
> |website:
> |<http://www.rethinkingreligion.org>
>
> Abstracts and proposals for workshops can be submitted online via our
> website (see call for papers).
>
> The deadline for submissions of abstracts and proposals is June 15th,
> 2011.
>
> A number of interviews, presentations and debates of the first two
> conferences, Rethinking Religion in India I & II, can be watched on

> pledge to close the dangerous Futenma base and to block new base
> construction in Okinawa, for more than six decades overburdened by US
