Meeting Description:

The change in worship of polytheistic societies or the change of faith in the
monotheistic ones, is a phenomenon studied by specialists of different
historical, archaeological, anthropological or historical-religious
disciplines, but never seen in a multidisciplinary perspective as a unitary
phenomenon. For individuals a change of faith or voluntary switching to
another religion is sometimes a strategy that accompanies the process of
integration as a result of migration, and it is upon these processes, in
particular, that we intend to dwell. The assumption of the faith / confession
/ worship of the host society at the expense of the original one is a process
that accompanies a change of identity, with the perspective of being welcomed
in a new context and having the same opportunities. Religion or beliefs, like
the language, the customs and habits of daily life, becomes an element of a
negotiation of personal identity.

Call for Papers:

Contributions of approaches from literary studies, the social sciences, linguistic, history, anthropology, archaeology, religious studies and geography, which demonstrate reflection on the subject, are welcomed. Scholars are invited to participate who wish to compare their own perspective in a multidisciplinary context and with a diachronic perspective.
