Religions and spiritualities, spatial markers and (re)appropriation of urban spaces - Université d'Artois- deadline (proposal) before 01 05 2024

Online 21 03 2024

(Announcement Calenda 1145329)

The aim of this study day will be twofold. It will attempt to identify the visible and invisible, sometimes fleeting and elusive, spaces/interstices occupied by the religious (places of worship, soup kitchens, Bible readings, Sunday schools, cyberspace, etc.) in urban areas; while at the same time questioning the strategies and creativity of those involved in religious and spiritual missions who strive to make the religious visible in urban space. Conversely, what spaces do institutional, political, economic and social players grant (or are they prepared to grant) to the religious?
