DESCRIPTION:Abstract: István Czachesz\nIt has been argued that religion p
 lays an important role in the creation and maintenance of identities and s
 ocial boundaries (e.g.\, Esler\, Krämer et al\, Lévinas\, Lieu\, Schreme
 r). However\, it remains unclear how this exactly happens and what roles d
 ifferent social\, psychological\, and ecological factors play in the proce
 ss. This paper addresses some of the relevant theoretical issues from evol
 utionary psychology\, social psychology\, and dual inheritance theory. In 
 particular\, I will make a distinction between “emergent identity\,” o
 n the one hand\, which is the result of bottom-up socio-cognitive process\
 , and “manufactured identity\,” on the other hand\, which results from
  a top-down process\, appropriating discourses and categories invented by 
 religious experts and literate elites. It remains to be understood how the
 se two processes interact and how far the resulting identities represent m
 ergers of the respective cognitive schemata. The goal of these considerati
 ons is to explain the involvement of non-elite and elite (as well as “la
 y” and “expert”) roles in religious identity formation\, with specia
 l attention to Near Eastern and Mediterranean Antiquity.\nVorträge:\n\nMi
