  The Dynamics of Ritual and Embodiment in Contemporary Religion and Spirituality

  Methodological and theoretical issues

  Within the framework of International Society for the Sociology of Religion 36th Conference (12 July - 15 July 2021), this panel aims to explore and discuss methodological and theoretical issues related to ethnographic research on sensory and bodily experiences in contemporary religion and spirituality. This panel invites scholars to present their contributions that include sensoriality as a central aspect of their research, either as a methodological tool (completing classical methodologies); or as a theoretical perspective to approach sensory settings and bodily (inter-)actions.

  The Bible and Migration

  Open Theology invites submissions for the topical issue “The Bible and Migration”, prepared in collaboration with the conference The Bible on the Move: Toward a Biblical Theology of Migration, held at Fuller Theological Seminary in January 2020. This special issue asks how cutting-edge biblical scholarship should inform conversation about and action relating to migration in the twenty-first century, bridging the gap between biblical studies, theology, and activism. Articles should examine how the biblical texts reflect diverse migrant experiences, as well as ways in which these texts reflect theologically on migration and appropriate responses to it among migrants and host communities. Articles may also critically interrogate the Bible’s use in arguments over migration and migrants’ reception by host communities.

  Religions and nationalisms

  Au cœur de la vague mondiale et contemporaine des nationalismes, les religions apparaissent comme une ressource idéologique et mobilisatrice. Face à ce phénomène, l’objet du colloque est de se demander comment l’articulation entre nationalismes et religions est approchée principalement du point de vue théologique dans les différentes religions (christianisme, islam, hindouisme, etc.). Peut-on mettre en lumière des méthodologies ou des épistémologies communes qui justifient les idéologies nationalistes (lecture littéraliste des textes sacrés, eschatologie, thème de l’élection, etc.) ? Peut-on penser une théologie du nationalisme qui reste ouverte à l’autre (l'étranger, le non-national) ? Il s'agira ainsi d'étudier le phénomène dans son expression sociologique et politique en son lien avec les discours théologiques.
