DESCRIPTION:Alevi populations have undergone many radical socio-political 
 transformations after the 1950s which have posed substantial challenges re
 garding the maintenance of the Alevi tradition. Until recent decades the A
 levi tradition was mainly rooted in rural structures. Rapid urbanization l
 ed by internal migration\, the state-led assimilation campaigns and the ri
 sing threat of Islamism in Turkey since the 1980s\, and increased contacts
  with other religious traditions (mainly Christianity) via the Alevi diasp
 ora in Europe have brought about and increased the importance of new actor
 s in Alevi socio-cultural politics\, most importantly Alevi civil associat
 ions.\n\nThese modern Alevi associations also face some serious problems a
 s to how to re-build the Alevi tradition under new conditions and how to r
 egulate and institutionalize their relations with the traditional religiou
 s authority of Alevi saintly lineages\, the ocaks and their members\, the 
 dedes. Thus\, the main aim of this workshop is to discuss the process of A
 levi tradition building with a specific focus on new Alevi institutions\, 
 their roles in the conduct of lives of Alevis as well as their contacts wi
 th other religious traditions.\n\nWorkshop's programme\n
