DESCRIPTION:FlyerPlease note that Vincent Gossaert had to cancel his parti
 cipation on short notice. We are sorry for the inconvenience.\nAssembling 
 case studies from all over Eurasia\, this conference aims at testing the a
 ssumption that in the context of the massive expansion in the traffic of p
 eople\, goods and information\, which acquired a new spectacular dimension
  from the early modern period onwards\, a global religious field started t
 o emerge. We propose to look especially at boundary work as it appears in 
 the situations of exceptionally dynamic and transformative religious const
 ellations such as missions or migration. We are interested in the double p
 rocess of convergence and differentiation: the way in which boundaries\, a
 lways porous and fluid\, are being set up and re-negotiated between religi
 ous communities\, as well as between religious and non-religious forms of 
 social communication. What are the patterns and mechanisms of dealing with
  religious diversity? How appropriate are the universality claims implied 
 in the notion of a global religious field? In how far do unexpected outcom
 es of dynamic interactions in and beyond the religious field challenge the
  idea of religious convergence?
