Beschreibung
A Lab for Intercultural and Interreligious Dialogue? Missionary Collections at the Interface of Religion, Science and Global Society
Can missionary collections become laboratories for intercultural and interreligious dialogue? An international, transdisciplinary conference seeks to answer this question by bringing together experts from Cultural and Social Anthropology, Religious Studies, Theology, Global History, Art History, History of Science, Regional Studies of Africa, Oceania, South East Asia and South America as well as Critical Museum and Heritage studies. It aims to analyze mission history and its material heritage in museums against the backdrop of a changing understanding of mission and decolonial criticism of museums. It also addresses the role of artistic creation in engaging with historical and contemporary religious contact and conflict and aims to rethink the history of collections as history of knowledge. These transdisciplinary discussions will ultimately lead to a future-oriented debate about the scientific and global-societal potential of missionary collections.
The conference is organized by the University of Bonn in collaboration with the Steyler Missionare (Societas Verbi Divini) in St. Augustin/ Bonn and serves as a first step towards the innovative, transdisciplinary rethinking of their internationally-renowned museum Haus Völker und Kulturen (HVK).
Organisers: Jun.-Prof. Dr. Julia Binter, Dr. Rafaela Eulberg, Dr. Stanisław Grodź, Prof. Dr. Adrian Hermann, Prof. Dr. Karoline Noack, Prof. Dr. Klaus von Stosch, Christian Tauchner
