DESCRIPTION:The notion of a Holy War\, that is a war declared to be undert
 aken for reli-gious reasons\, is a concept dating\, in Christendom at leas
 t\, to Late Anti-quity. Islam holds an inherent notion of holy war\, jihad
 \, as a component of its beliefs and practices. Likewise\, Judaism\, Buddh
 ism and Hinduism all have histories which demonstrate a tradition of holy 
 war and resistance to holy war\, which in turn generated their own "counte
 r-traditions."\n\nThis workshop is intended to explore the uses and transf
 ormations of holy war traditions in a variety of religious milieus\, from 
 crusading in the West\, to religious anti-colonial warfare in modern South
 east Asia and to explore how some of these traditions\, anyway\, played up
 on one another to become part of the political-religious discourse between
  regions and communities. Bringing together experts from different religio
 us traditions and histories\, we hope to compare and contrast the concept 
 of holy war over the longue duree.\n\nWorkshop's programme\n\n\n
