DESCRIPTION:The *Global Epistemological Politics of Religion* research gro
 up explores concepts and debates informing contemporary social and politic
 al theory and practice concerning the dynamics and relations between relig
 ion\, politics and order. Through the detailed study of various cases we e
 xplore the histories and political logics of various attempts to conceptua
 lise and institutionalise social\, religious and cultural difference\, inc
 luding the rule of law\, the practices of knowledge and non-knowledge\, an
 d the recognition and protection of religious minorities.\n\nQuestions to 
 be discussed include: How does modern law and political practice regulate 
 the spaces within which individuals and groups live out their cultural and
  religious lives? What are the histories and politics of modern constructs
  of religion in relation to the nation\, technology and across different n
 etworks? The group is explicitly interdisciplinary drawing social and poli
 tical theory\, global politics\, anthropology\, history\, and sociology of
  religion\, and law.\n\nThis session will be led by *Maria Birnbaum* (Bern
 )\, and the recommended reading is:\n\nLiana Chua\, ‘Anthropological per
 spectives on ritual and religious ignorance’ in _Handbook of Ignorance S
 tudies_\, London: Routledge\, 2020: pp.247-255.\n\nCasey High\, ‘Between
  Knowing and Being: Ignorance in Anthropology and Amazonian Shamanism’ i
 n _The Anthropology of Ignorance_\, New York: Palgrave Macmillan\, 2012: p
