Religion and Empire RL5120
How have empires formed - and still continue to form - religion? In RL5120 the students will learn about how religion was managed in empires like the Ottoman Empire, the British Empire and East Asian empires such as China and Japan. Following a comprehensive theoretical survey of the concepts of "empire", "colonialism", "imperialism", and "religion", the course will analyse and explore imperial and colonial policies of religion. Students will be introduced to the politics of knowledge production about life of the governed peoples within the colonies, and they will learn about the politics of religious, ethnic and cultural differences. Attention will also be paid to various aspects of lived religious lives, co-existence and boundary transgression within empires. Finally, the course will introduce students to anti-colonial ideologies and resistance to empire.
