Call for Proposals
Joint session: Religion and Politics Unit and Space, Place, and Religion Unit
We seek papers that analyze examples of religious places and spaces that are made or developed by the political state. Possible themes could address mechanics of religious places’ development and the means by which a state sanctifies the nation as sacred space; the kinds of religious space(s) that states create; and applications of spatial theory and methodologies to help think through the entanglements state actions create with historically sacred landscapes and places. We especially seek papers that address specific examples of how states create and authorize religious places and spaces.
