Religion, Society and Participation
Passages from Antiquity to the Middle Ages IV

Tampere, Finland, August 20-22, 2009, International Conference
Organized by: Trivium Centre for Classical, Medieval and Renaissance  
Studies, Department of History and Philosophy, University of Tampere  
in collaboration with the Finnish Historical Society and the Classical  
Association of Finland.

Abstract deadline: November 1st, 2008

The fourth international Passages conference focuses on religion in  
its social context. Religion is seen as an active, ongoing process  
involving society and community. We welcome papers which focus on  
different religious acts and actors - communities, families or  
individuals - and with sensitive approach to social differences:  
gender, age and status. Important themes in the conference are the  
differences and similarities between elite culture and popular  
religion in Classical and Medieval society.

The conference aims at broad coverage not only chronologically but  
also geographically and disciplinary (all branches of Classical and  
Medieval Studies). We strongly encourage contributions from a  
comparative and/or interdisciplinary perspective.

The conference will concentrate on:

Religious rituals in everyday life
Writing and reading religion vs. oral religious culture
Devotional groups and their functions in society
Official and nonofficial religious practices and practitioners
Gendered participation
Forms of devoted life: e.g. living as a devoted child/man/woman/couple
Sacrifice and self sacrifice

A one-page abstract (setting out thesis and conclusions and containing  
name, academic affiliation, postal adress, e-mail) should be submitted  
preferably by mail-attachment to the conference secretary,  
passages at uta.fi, or to the address below. The deadline for abstracts  
is November, 1st 2008, decisions on the acceptance of papers will be  
made in December 2008. Presentation of conference papers preferably in  
English, although papers in other major scientific languages are  
accepted if provided with English summary or translation. Registration  
fee for all those attending or participating: 60 ? (post-graduate  
students: 30 ?). For further information, please contact  
passages at uta.fi or visit www.uta.fi/trivium/ (see there also for
