Contested Privates: Religion and Homosexuality in Public Discourse

Konferanse

Dato: 26.10.2017 - 28.10.2017  Tid:

Sted: Utrecht, Netherlands

Why are religion and homosexuality so often framed as each other's necessary opposites? What do heated debates about same-sex marriage, the Pope, queer Muslims and controversial art tell us about the changing role of religion in contemporary society? The conference will address these and similar questions.

The guiding question of this conference is on which assumptions this representation of the current state of affairs is based, which conventions of religion, secularism, (homo)sexuality and gender differences are brought into play, and which social, cultural and ethnic differences between (groups of) people this oppositional pairing creates or confirms. The conference takes the historical and current political and religious configurations of debates in the Netherlands as its point of departure. Don't forget to register before the deadline!
