some remarks on the margin
of an interdisciplinary workshop
Bernard Sawicki
Abstract
In November 2015 in Universitair Centrum Sint-Ignatius Antwerpen, a research section of the University of Antwerpen, an interesting interdisciplinary conference Rituals, Markets and Redemption: some remarks on the margin of an interdisciplinary workshop took place. The presented papers showed the relevance of such interdisciplinary exchanges, inserting ritual as an important factor of each religious community in a vast and inspiring context of sociology, anthropology and psychology. Ritual seems to be a common dimension of various churches and religious denominations.
Sommario
Nel novembre 2015, nel Centro Universitario Sant’Ignazio, dipartimento di ricerca dell’Università di Anversa, ebbe luogo una conferenza interdisciplinare Rituals, Markets and Redemption: some remarks on the margin of an interdisciplinary workshop. Le relazioni presentate mostrarono l’attualità di scambi interdisciplinari inserendo, tra gli altri, il rituale quale protagonista di ogni comunità religiosa presente in molteplici ambiti e ispiratore di vari contesti come la sociologia, l’antropologia e la psicologia. I rituali, infatti, sembrano ricoprire una dimensione comune tra le varie chiese e le comunità religiose.
