If you are having trouble, please email us.\n\nREGISTER\n\nSummary\n\nWhat we term “religion” or the “religious” is a universal signifier that encompasses a range of social forms, cultural meanings, and symbolic practices presupposing the presencing of a certain transcendent reality.  However, the manifestation of transcendence is impossible without corporeal experience, whether that involve sexuality, gender, the regimentation of the body in ascetic practices, the definition of reproductive rights, the subjugation of persons through the wielding of law and punishment, war and conflict, the endurance of pain and suffering for a higher purpose. \n\nHow are new theoretical perspectives involving phenomenology, neurology, gender theory, racialization, colonization and de-colonization, medical and social ethics, feminism, etc. transforming our previous stances, or positionalities?\n\nPROGRAM\n\nWednesday, September 28\n\n7:45/15:45\n\nWelcome and Announcements\n\n8:00/16:00\n\nEmbodiment and the Sacred – Faculty Panel\n\nCarl Raschke, University of Denver (US); Michel Staudigl, University of Vienna (Austria(; Jason Jeffries, University of Denver (US); Anna Westin, St. Mellitus College (UK)\n\n9:00/17:00\n\nAnna Magnasco, University of Torino (Italy)\n\nThe Body in the Disenchanted Society: Between Suffering and the Sacred in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) movement\n\n9:30/17:30\n\nMagdalena Sedmak, University of Vienna (Austria)\n\nTrauma in Emmanuel Lévinas´ Writing Body\n\n10:00/18:00\n\nStella Indira Auer, University of Vienna (Austria)\n\nEmbodied Restoration\n\n10:30/18:30 \n\nBreak\n\n11:00/19:00\n\nKev Grane, University of Denver (United States)\n\nEvolution of Gender Hierarchy in Western Christianity\n\n11:30/19:30\n\nBreak\n\n12:00/20:00\n\nTobias Patry, University of Vienna\n\nOrganic Thinking\n\n12:30/20:30\n\nAdjourn\n\nThursday, September 29\n\n8:00/16:00\n\nKieryn Wurts, University of Bonn (Germany)\n\nJohn Boswell’s History of (Eurochristian) Sexuality: A Case Study in Rethinking Embodiment By Way of Historical Proxy\n\n8:30/16:30\n\nJared Lacy, University of Denver\n\nBeyond Embodiment: Black Feminism, Pantheology, and Non-Anthropocentric Enfleshment\n\n9:00/17:00\n\nKevin Hujing, University of Denver (United States)\n\nBinding Freedom\n\n9:30/17:30\n\nNina Sophie Weiss, École Normale Supérieure (France)\n\nReligion as Embodiment in a More-Than-Human World.
