DESCRIPTION:Guest Lecture by Esther Berg-Chan (Frankfurt a.M.)\n\nIn the l
 ast couple of years we have witnessed the rise of ‘martial arts studies
 ’ as a new and distinct field of academic inquiry. From the already exis
 ting research on ‘martial arts’ produced within different disciplinary
  contexts\, an interdisciplinary conversation on martial arts has emerged.
  In this talk\, I seek to unpack martial arts\, religion\, and their relat
 ion to each other from a religious studies perspective. Claiming martial a
 rts as an object of religious studies\, and in turn claiming that religiou
 s studies has the potential to produce valuable insights for the field of 
 martial arts studies\, might raise some eyebrows. The relation between and
  (maybe not coincidentally) the definition of both martial arts and religi
 on is an issue of debate among both outside observers and practitioners. C
 onsequently\, it is this very relation that is under investigation in this
  talk drawing on both a discourse theoretical approach and on the perspect
 ive of material religion.
