Objective
The Biennial EASA Conferences aim at creating a unique exchange large forum in Europe to update and share the current state-of-the-art on Social and Cultural Anthropology. The 6^th one related to the relationship between religion(s) and politic(s) focus its interest on one the main research topics in the world at this moment. Anthropological research has tried repeatedly to go beyond the once handy division of social life into separate domains, such as kinship as opposed to economics, economics opposed to symbolism, religion as opposed to politics. Yet this building-blocks view of social life still pervades most of teaching and standard textbooks of Social Anthropology, from kinship through exchange to economics; from economics through redistribution to politics; from socio-economics through symbolism to religion. Needless to say, one ends up with a surplus of 'large-scale phenomena' such as: colonialism and a world of (supposedly) secular nation-states, missionary expansion and (thus?) revivalist cults, rationalist secularism and (against it) fundamentalist counter-movements, free- market globalisation and (inexplicably) identity politics.
All of these 'large-scale dynamics' look unnecessarily vague, precisely because they have been relegated to the status of after-thoughts or residual categories by the outdated but resilient epistemology of social life into separable domains. The conference seeks to question, think across, and indeed anthropologize such categorial division wherever they impede our discipline's progress: economics as kinship, symbolism as power, purpose rationality as religion-the permutations are manifold, and they all argue against the building-blocks view of social processes An especially fruitful, and locally apt, crossing of categorical boundaries relates to the division between politics and religion. This division needs to be examined ethnographically, questioned theoretically, and transcended holistically.
