keynote addresses The keynote addresses of the 19th World Congress, which isarranged as the opening session on “Religions and Dialogue among Civilizations,”will be open to the general public.

plenary sessions Each of the ³ve days of the congress will open with a plenary ses-sion, consisting of presentations and responses by a panel of experts on one of the³ve sub-themes of the congress.

special sessions A number of special sessions are being organized with a focus onJapanese religions. Several of the presentations will be delivered in Japanese.

The organization of both Keynote Addresses and the Special and Plenary Sessions isbeing coordinated by the Congress Academic Program Committee (capc) and theCongress Secretariat (cs) of the jars, but we welcome your suggestions and ideas.

PROPOSALS FOR PAPERS

The capc and the Congress Secretariat of the jars welcome proposals for papers onany aspect of the study of religion. Papers may treat religious phenomena from anyculture and historical period, and from a wide variety of academic disciplines, includ-ing philosophy, history, sociology, philology, anthropology, psychology, and iconogra-phy. The subject of a paper of any category may reµect general concerns in theacademic study of religion, or it may reµect meaningful problems in a speci³c area ofstudy. It is not necessary for the topics to be directly related to the general theme orsub-themes of the congress. Presentations fall into four categories:

organized panels consist of four panelists (possibly three) and an optional respon-dent with a panel convener as the chair. The duration is 2 hours, and it is expectedthat the convener of the panel will directly contact panelists and put together a sin-gle proposal for the entire panel. The proposal, which must be sent by the con-vener, should contain the title of the panel, the names and institutional af³liationsof the panelists and a respondent, and a 150-word abstract of the topic. Convenersmay decide to leave panels partially open to allow for later submissions once thepanel is advertised.

symposia may be proposed by groups of scholars engaged in a particular project whichwill likely lead to publication. It is expected that these groups will circulate theirpapers for discussion prior to the congress. Scholars are advised to bring alongwith them suf³cient number of copies (at least 20) of their papers for distributionto the participants. The proposal should contain the title of the symposium, thenames and institutional af³liations of the panelists plus a respondent, and a 150-word abstract of the topic. The duration of the symposium is 2 hours which maybe used as seems ³t. It is the responsibility of the convener of the symposium tocontact the participants and to present a formal proposal to the Congress Secre-tariat at the earliest possible date.

roundtable sessions consist of a maximum of 10 participants around a table. Theseare meant for more detailed discussion among scholars on their respectiveresearch. Space for these sessions is limited. Proposals for roundtable sessionsshould consist of the title of the paper, full names and institutional af³liations ofthe presenters, and a 150-word abstract. Those whose proposals are accepted willsubsequently need to send 10 copies of the complete paper in advance for distribu-tion to those who register for roundtable sessions. Scholars are encouraged toadvertise their proposed roundtable sessions among their peers to encourage max-imum participation.

individual papers not associated with any pre-arranged session will be organizedaccording to subject matter and arranged into coherent group sessions. In anygiven session there will be 4 papers lasting 2 hours.

CONGRESS THEME

Religion: Conflict and Peace

The conference theme addresses one of the most urgent issues of our time—conµict andpeace—which is widely discussed in academic circles today.

Scholars of religions can make an important contribution to the debate by analysing therole of religion generally in matters concerning conµict and peace in their various aspects, aswell as of single religious traditions in their various forms. This theme concerns ancient aswell as living religions. Historical, sociological, anthropological, psychological, textual,iconographical, and philosophical approaches: all have relevant contributions to make.

The conference theme is basically concerned with religion and power. It attempts toexplore the many facets of human conµict, social stability, and the relationships betweenmajorities and minorities, authorities and dissenters, revolution and evolution, male andfemale, “us” and “them,” and so forth. It assumes that religion is a social and cultural factoror, as some would say, a social and cultural construction. Religion is also associated withpolitical power in either an implicit or an explicit manner, which provides another importantaspect of study.

Religion may serve as an identity marker in the maintenance of ethnic, social, or politicalstability. But it can also serve as an identity marker in conµicts of such nature. Religion doesnot have to be the cause of, or a contributing factor to, violent conµict between social groups.Religion and religious ideology can also serve to regulate social violence. At the time of theCold War, religion was often regarded as a constructive factor that could contribute to thestability of peace. In recent decades, however, there has been a growing concern about itsdestructive side, as evidence seems to suggest that religion may intensify conµicts betweencivilizations. At the same time, there has been an increasing expectation of solving conµictthrough a dialogue between civilizations.

Religion can promote discourses of oppression that regulate relations between genders,generations, classes, or other social groups. It can also provide models for an ideal society andideal relations between genders and groups. Religion can become a tool in the service of free-dom, whether political or existential. Growing violence, political oppression and poverty maycontribute to the emergence of new religious movements pointing to a better future for thosewho are suffering, but may themselves become the cause of serious new conµicts.

Religions often have traditions in which exemplary individuals, semi-mortal ³gures, or deitieshave attained victories for peace and emancipation. On the other hand, gods may be mirrorimages of their mortal servants, constantly at war with each other, spreading intrigue andmisery in the divine and human worlds. The gods may serve as the ultimate justi³cation forviolence and hatred, or for peace and harmony between mortals. Some religious ³gures mayinvoke doom, exciting instability and frenzy, whereas others may serve as promoters of peace.

In this congress we intend to pursue these matters in such a way that our knowledge andunderstanding of these issues will be deepened. We hope for exciting scholarly debates thatwill illuminate the way in which historical and contemporary religions have contributed, andstill contribute, to questions of conµict and peace. The study of these phenomena will alsolead to renewed reµection on theories of religion and methodologies in the study of religion.

The theme of this Congress invites panels and symposia on a whole range of topics. The

Congress Sub-themes

the religious dimension of war and peace

Today, religion is often considered a root cause of war. The question is whether this isindeed so. Is religion an obstacle to, rather than an instrument for, peace? It is important toinvestigate in what ways religion may contribute to either war or peace. This should be doneboth at an ideological and a historical level. What meanings and values have religions attrib-uted to the ideas of war and peace? And in what ways have they put such ideas into practice inpast and present times? These long disputed problems need to be examined and consideredanew at the beginning of the 21st century.

technology, life, and death

Religion can be seen as a system that mediates nature to humanity. In fact, religionshave produced various systems of ideas and practices according to which people live and diein their natural environment. Such systems inevitably reµect the technological resources oftheir time and place. Contemporary innovations in techno-sciences and -industries are notonly destroying indigenous religious systems of knowledge, but also introducing new ques-tions concerning the human body, natural environments, humankind’s and nature’s life anddeath, that are often problematic. Addressing these unprecedented dif³culties is one of thetasks confronting scholars today. In view of the long history of religions, it is also an urgenttask for scholars of religion.

global religions and local cultures

Some religions show a tendency to universal expansion, attempting to transcend thecultural and regional limits in which they originally emerged. At the same time, religious tra-ditions are deeply rooted in particular regional cultures. The so-called world religions have tointegrate themselves in a local culture and become indigenous in a sense, in order to fullyactualize their universal aspirations. The combined processes of globalization and localiza-tion (glocalization) of the contemporary world necessitate revising traditional dichotomiesand terminologies, such as world religions and ethnic religions, monotheisms and poly-theisms, and others.

boundaries and segregations

Religions offer epistemological schemes to understand, evaluate, and order objects,events, and humans in the world. Drawing clear lines between “us” and “others,” inner and

outer groups, etc. is one important function religion may assume. Today, however, the draw-ing of boundaries and the creation of segregation should be examined in relation to the uni-versalist claims of human rights. In fact, religions have often recognized the importance ofparticular distinctions among humankind, for example those of men and women, and as aresult legitimized certain forms of discrimination. In some cases, religious groups, despiteadvocating the fundamental equality of humankind, have nevertheless deemed certain peopleor groups to fall outside this category—to be inhuman, in other words—thus justifyingaggression towards that which is deemed external to society. These aspects and functions ofreligion need reconsideration from a wide perspective.

method and theory in the study of religion

Methodological reµection is a continual task in the study of religion. The complexinterplay between method and theory in the human and social sciences plays an integral rolein academic reµection and scholarly debates related to it. In recent decades, it seems thatunder the inµuence of sister-disciplines as well as because of other factors, the study of reli-gion has witnessed remarkable changes and developments in the ³elds of method and theory,in comparison with earlier eras. Further evaluations and discussions need to be carried on inorder to re³ne methodological reµection and debates. These debates are even more com-pelling, in the light of the main theme of this congress.

opening symposium

Religion and dialogue among civilizations

Recently, as scholars have been discussing the idea of a “clash of civilizations,” incidents andevents have been happening around the world as if to prove the timely and urgent nature ofthis discussion. Many people believe that the cornerstones of civilizations are their respectivereligious traditions. Considering the wars and conµicts in many parts of the world that havetaken place since the late 1970s, we may be persuaded that differences in religion and the waythese religions have helped structure differing civilizations, are factors that have greatly con-tributed to the wars and conµicts of recent years.

In light of these developments there has been a growing appreciation of the need for dia-logue between civilizations. For some time now there have been attempts among the religiouscommunities of the world to undertake a dialogue between religions. Scholars have been try-ing to construct theories of religious pluralism and to organize religious cooperation in manyparts of the world.

At present, when people wish ever more seriously than before to maintain a dialogue,develop mutual understanding and reconciliation between religions, we should ask how wecan learn from the experiences of these past endeavours. What kind of ideas and activities dowe need for the “new” dialogue?

The symposium will be open to the general public. It will provide an opportunity to thinkand reµect on what religions can do contribute to peace in the world, and what role the schol-arly study of religion might have in this respect. While this symposium will demonstrate thehope for peace to society at large, it will also deepen the academic understanding of the prob-lem of the dialogue between civilizations and religions.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

The Congress Secretariat of the 2005 World Congress of the iahr is making everyeffort to secure funds for participants for whom the ³nancial burden of travel andlodgings would be too great. Because these funds are composed of voluntary donationsfrom ordinary citizens, it is dif³cult to know in advance how much aid will be avail-able. For this reason, assistance will be principally granted in the case that the applicantfails to acquire enough funds from other sources, even though he/she has made everyeffort. Also, requests for funding may not be met in full. It is impossible to assure at thepresent moment how many grants will be available.

Participants who ful³ll the following conditions are quali³ed to apply for assistance:

1. Must be a resident citizen of Eastern-European countries, CIS, Asia(excluding Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore), Africa, Southand Central America (including Mexico and the Caribbean), or Oceania(except for Australia and New Zealand).

2. Must agree to present a paper at the Congress and to remain at the venuefor the duration (24–30 March 2005). The paper must be original, previ-ously unpublished, and up to the standards of academic journals.

3. Must have completed the registration procedure, paid the appropriatefees, and submitted the required abstract to the Registration Desk duringthe period of early registration period (1 April to 30 September 2004).Applicants for ³nancial aid who cannot afford the registration fee at thisearly stage should take up direct contact with the Congress Secretariat.

There are three procedures for appliying for ³nancial assistance:

A. In the case of an applicant invited to participate in a panel, symposium,or roundtable, the application may be submitted by the organizer.

B. Af³liates of the iahr, in the countries quali³ed for ³nancial assistance,may recommend a few candidates for assistance. In this case, the presi-dent or general secretary of the af³liate should make the application.

C. Participants who fall under neither (A) nor (B) may apply individually.Please note: Documents required for an application for ³nancial assis-tance differ for each of the above procedures. Contact the Congress Sec-retariat for details.

Application forms for ³nancial assistance should reach the Congress Secretariat nolater than 31 July 2004. The Congress Secretariat, in collaboration with the ExecutiveCommittee of the iahr, will decide on the awards based on the quality and originalityof the proposals. Awards will be paid at the time of the Congress in Japan, and paymentwill be made in Japanese Yen.

Further inquiries regarding ³nancial assistance should be directed to the CongressSecretariat.

related events

The Congress will include an Opening Ceremony, a General Assembly, and a ClosingCeremony, which are open to all participants. In addition, a number of iahr businessmeetings, including meetings of the Executive Committee and the International Com-mittee, will be scheduled.
