DESCRIPTION:Programme leaflet\nStudying or noting the fact that stories ab
 out saints or holy objects traveled from one region or religious community
  to another\, for example how the Jataka tales\, the Pantachantra\, Balaam
  and Josephat\, or the Prince and the Sage traveled from India through Cen
 tral Asia or into parts of Africa\, the Middle East and finally even to No
 rthern Europe\, is fascinating for it includes not only transfer of motifs
 \, but resistance\, demarcation\, adoption\, transformation\, even expansi
 on. Alone\, however\, such explorations tell us little about inter- or int
 ra-religious relations.\nIn this workshop we  propose to focus on hagiogr
 aphical accounts of encounter with the religious other that traveled from 
 one cultural/geographical area to another\, and how these narratives chang
 ed as the result of cultural\, religious\, geographic\, or chronological d
 isplacement. Specifically stories about saints and the religious other\, p
 rovide important indications about cultures dealt with religious minoritie
 s\, and how religious minorities imagined their relationships with the rel
 igious communities around them. Such narratives also indicate\, perhaps\, 
 what forces cause tension and persecution - why are some stories in certai
 n cultures relatively more “friendly” toward the religious other than 
 others\, and very condemnatory in other cultures though the story at its c
 ore is the same? How and why are certain hagiographies of encounter taken 
 over by more than one religious community and either used as a form of res
 istance or simply co-opted and claimed by the new group?\nThose who are in
 terested in participating in the workshop\, please submit a title and an a
 bstract to either Alexandra Cuffel (alexandra.cuffel@rub.de) or Nikolas Ja
 spert (nikolas.jaspert@rub.de) by 15 August 2013.
