Religions, Mobilizations and Political Cultures: An International
Workshop

Milan, January 26th-27th 2007

Dipartimento di Sociologia e Ricerca Sociale

Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca



Many researchers in Sociology, History and Political Science are
dealing with topics of political cultures changing, and
hybridization. This Workshop wants to be a forum for academic
discussions on the relationships between religions, mobilizations in
social movements and political cultures changing.



Political cultures – defined here as patterns of shared public
symbols, meanings and styles of action – emerge and become
consolidated through longue-durée historical processes. Far from
being fixed and stable identities, they transform noticeably over
time, following unpredictable logics, within political processes. In
recent years, the study of political cultures has focused ever more
attention to the analysis of the ways in which initially distinct
structures with well-distinguished symbolic boundaries undergo
hybridization through gradual changes. Such structures constitute
coherent articulations of views on the world and actions, aiming to
reduce the complexity and the intrinsic contradictory nature of
action, of the codes of communication which allow actors to
understand and comprehend each other reciprocally.



The aim of this International Workshop is to discuss and to compare
the way in which, in social movement mobilizations, religious frames
and political cultures meet each other, giving rise to conflicts but
also to hybridizations. In order to analyse various case-studies, the
Workshop will focus on papers based on empirical researches. Papers
focusing both on historical reconstruction and on theoretical
interpretation are welcomed, especially papers focusing on how the
processes of hybridization takes place.



Only a limited number of papers will be accepted. The selection will
be based on the relevance of a proposal for discussion of the central
theme and the academic quality of the proposal.



The Workshop will be hosted at the
Dipartimento di Sociologia e Ricerca Sociale

University of Milano-Bicocca
