Interconnecting Platforms second Funding Period 2013-2018
The Cluster of Excellence investigates the relationship of religion and politics from antiquity until today in some 80 individual projects. The interconnecting platforms deal with crosscutting issues arising in many of the projects and serve as crosslinks between the fields of research of normativity, mediality, integration and violence. The interconnecting platforms provide room for interdisciplinary communication and theoretical basic reflection about the following topics: the differentiation of religion and politics, transcultural entanglements, the relationship of religion, politics and gender, and cultural ambiguity.
