<span style="font-size: 15px; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: Arial">This is a conference dedicated to study the life histories of religious activists from the perspective of the psychology of religion. It will focus attention on Islamic activists involved in some or the other form of religious activism since the 1970s. Papers will examine personal trajectories over a long period of time, focusing on initial participation through to their present positions. For the purpose of this conference, Islamists will denote individuals who have come together to (re)establish Islam on a social or political level. </span><br />
<h2 dir="ltr" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium"><span style="font-size: 19px; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: Arial">Background and Rationale</span></h2><span style="font-size: 15px; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: Arial">The public resurgence of religion in general and Islam in particular has taken many forms over the last few decades, and scholars grapple with their meaning and significance for individual, state and society. There is unanimity among most scholars of religion that late modern religious revival does not mean a return to traditional roots, but subtle and profound transformation for individual meaning and social action.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: Arial">With respect to Islamism, much more has been written on the social significance of these transformations than on their personal, psychological dimension. Given the dominance of the secularization perspective until the 1970s, studies have turned to the social significance of religious revival for identity formation (Berger 2000). James Beckford argued that the impact of religion was inevitable given the questions posed by post-modernism (Beckford 2000, 176). And Ortiz, looking at the transformation of religion over a long period, argued that globalization provided an opportunity for ethical engagement beyond the bounds of particular national borders. He saw an uneasy competition between the social function of religions, and nationalism. Globalization weakened the power of the nation, thus providing grounds for religion to re-emerge but with an ethical focus (Ortiz 2003). Some studies on Islamic radicalization have pointed to parallel ethical manifestations among members (Devji 2005). In general, it is clear that such studies raised question about the renewed place of religion in public life, and the attempt to identify its important features.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: Arial">This preoccupation with the new sociology of religion may be contrasted with a critical perspective on the very formation of a religious discourse in modern times. Talal Asad’s path-breaking </span><span style="font-size: 15px; background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: Arial">Genealogies of Religion: Discipline and Reasons of Power in Christianity and Islam</span><span style="font-size: 15px; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: Arial"> (1993) may be regarded as a milestone in this regard. He regarded religion as a discursive strategy rather than a symbolic code to be read: “Religion has been part of the restructuration of practical times and spaces, a rearticulation of practical knowledges and powers, of subjective behaviors, sensibilities, needs, and expectations in modernity” (Asad 2001, 221; see also the application to Islam in Asad 1986). This line of analysis has been followed by a number of others who have deconstructed the application of religion and religious discourse in modern politics and general public discourse (Chidester 2004; Veer 2002; Fitzgerald 2000; Chidester 1996; Fitzgerald 2007; Vial 1999). Religion did not represent a resource to which one turned, but an opportunity to construct one’s engagement in public life.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: Arial">Both, the new public roles of religion and their discursive employment, beg the question as to what was happening with religious commitment and engagement at the individual level. What did religion mean for individuals engaged in religious activism? More particularly, what did it mean when the religious terrain was changing rapidly? How did actors use religious discourse to navigate the terrain?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 15px; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: Arial">Using the case of Islamic activism, this conference examines these questions through a close examination of biographies. It calls for papers that will focus on individuals who have participated in one or more Islamic revival groups and movements over the last four decades. They should capture self-reflexive views of Islamists as they recall their engagement, their doubts, and transformations. Moreover, they must interrogate in particular the discursive dimension of their participation in a movement characterized by social and political significance.</span><br />

OUTLINE OF THEME
</div>
<div>
The 2012 Annual Meeting of the NGG uses the 100th anniversary of the publication of Émile Durk-heim’s Les formes élémentaires de la vie religieuse (1912) as an opportunity to look critically at the concept of ‘social cohesion’ and the many, often conflicting ways in which scholars, politicians, and others have correlated religion to values of equality, solidarity, democracy, and tolerance (or their op-posites) in contemporary Western societies. We want to raise the question whether religion(s) and discourses on religion(s) promote social cohesion or social conflict in multicultural and plural modern societies. The conference will combine sociological, anthropological, and historical approaches to the theme of social cohesion and will provide a contribution to the ongoing debates in Europe regarding the benefits and problems of religious convictions.
</div>
<div>
We invite proposals for papers, panels, and posters from all disciplinary perspectives on religion and social cohesion. Proposals may also address other aspects of Durkheim’s legacy in the study of religion. In addition, PhD and MA students are given the possibility to present their ongoing research in a paper session that is not related to the conference theme or with a poster. Deadline for all proposals is 1 July 2012. See detailed calls for papers, panels, and posters below.

We are honoured to present two distinguished keynote speakers:
</div>
<div>
• Prof. Lori Beaman, Canada Research Chair in the Contextualization of Religion in a Diverse Canada, University of Ottawa.
</div>
<div>
• Prof. Anders Klostergaard Petersen, Department of Culture and Society – Study of Religion, University of Aarhus, Denmark.

</div>
<div>
Empirical studies on religion as a source of social cohesion or social conflict;

<div>
We also invite proposals that engage with Durkheim’s ideas and with his legacy in the academic study of religion. Topics can include (but are not restricted to):
</div>
<div>
Durkheimian ideas (such as anomie, effervescence, religion as objectification of social ties, etc.) in relation to empirical studies;
</div>

C. CALL FOR PAPERS AND POSTERS FOR OFF-THEME PHD AND MA STUDENT SES-SION(S)
</div>
<div>
PhD students are invited to propose papers for the perspectives outlined above. Additionally, both PhD students and MA students are cordially invited to submit a paper or a poster for a separate off-theme session. This can be a great chance, for instance, for MA students to report on the results of their MA thesis and for PhD students to present some of their preliminary conclusions.
</div>
<div>
Each individual paper will be given a total of 30 minutes, i.e. 20 minutes for presentation and 10 min-utes for discussion. Posters should be A1 size and should not include too much text.

<div>
Abstracts for papers and poster proposals (max. 200 words) for the off-theme session(s) should be sent no later than 1 July 2012 to NGG secretary Dr. Elizabeth den Boer (e.p.den.boer@religion.leidenuniv.nl).
