Prejudice, Exclusion and Violence in a Transnational World

RC22 Sociology of Religion (host committee)

Language: English

In recent decades, complex relationships have developed on different scales: global, regional, national and local, enhancing the expansion and intensification of interactions in an increasingly mobile and transnational world. Globalization processes have led to economic, social, political, religious and cultural changes that upset geographical and temporal referents. This has created new tensions, both with and between national and transnational actors.  These tensions often challenge the regulatory capacities of established governmental and social institutions.  The result is the creation of new channels of power and violence, along with the reopening of old ones.

This session intends to analyze different constellations of prejudice, exclusion and violence in various contexts, and particularly wishes to encourage papers that focus on anti-Semitism.
