The Centre for Advanced Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences “Religion and Urbanity: Reciprocal Formations” will hold its annual conference on processes of mercantilisation in urban space. The international conference focusses on mercantilisation brought on and shaped by the interaction of religious and urban practices, institutions, and agents. At the core of the conference lays the triangular relation of economies, religion, and urbanity. This triangular relationship will be approached from different disciplinary perspectives and across historical epochs and regions to come to a more complex understanding of cities in global history.

The subjective character of urbanity invites to differentiate actors: urban experiences are shaped by the identity of individuals and groups, their ethnic, social and religious background, their dreams, agendas and values. Our main interest lies in grasping and analysing the essential contribution of religion to this complex and intertwined formation of urbanity (and vice versa). In other words, our perspective on urbanity and the urban is structured by the prism of the religious./16.-18.11.2022, Schloss Ettersburg/Weimar
