“宗教的全球性与地域性
——第6届宗教社会科学研讨会”
征文启事
会议时间：2009年7月7-8日
会议地点：江南大学（江苏无锡）
在宗教社会科学研究中，全球性与地域性问题是近年来的一个热点。在现代化进程中，宗教发展一方面呈现出全球性的特征，即宗教遵循一定的普遍规律；与此同时，另一种倾向也十分明显，即宗教表达越来越与地域文化结合在一起，呈现出异彩纷呈的局面。这一现象激发了宗教社会科学对宗教的全球性与地域性关系的研究。所谓的全球地域化（Globalocation）概念，就体现了这一研究走向，似乎印证了中国文化界流传久远的说法：越是民族的（本地的、在地的），就越是世界的。
2009年的第6届宗教社会科学年会，将以“宗教的全球性与地域性”为主题。诚邀您撰写论文，具体方向包括：
1. 对当代宗教全球性与地域性关系的研究。
2. 当代中国宗教的实证研究。举凡有关中国各种宗教，包括民间宗教的实证研究。
3. 宗教社会科学的基本理论研究，如对韦伯、杜尔凯姆等经典作家理论的探讨，对宗教世俗化理论、市场理论、后现代理论的研究等。
4. 世界当代宗教的现状研究。
5. 有关当代宗教的对策研究。
上述范围只是建议，您可以根据自己的兴趣写作论文。
本届年会由江南大学宗教社会学研究所、社会学系，中国人民大学佛教与宗教学理论研究所联合主办，由（美）普度大学中国宗教与社会研究中心、叔同书院协办。时间：2009年7月7日、8日，地点：江苏省无锡市蠡湖大道1800号 江南大学 长广溪宾馆
本届年会竭诚欢迎您的参与。请于2009年4月30日前告知您的论文题目和大纲。您将于5月30日前收到会议的正式邀请。请您于6月20日前提交会议全文。

Call for papers
The Sixth Symposium of the Social Scientific Study of Religion in China:
Globalization and Localization of Religion
Wuxi*, Jiangsu
July 7-8, 2009
In the social scientific study of religion, the relationship of globalization and localization has become a hot topic in recent years. In the process of modernization, religious change appears to share some common patterns on the one hand, and religious expressions appear to be combined with diverse local cultures on the other hand. The newly coined term “globalocalization” is an indication of the scholarly effort to theorize such phenomena, which seems affirming a common belief among many Chinese intellectuals: the more national/local, the more international/universal.
“Globalization and Localization of Religion” is the theme of the Sixth Symposium of the Social Scientific Study of Religion in China, which is to be held on July 7-8,
We invite you to present papers on topics including
1. Studies of the relationships between globalization and localization.
2. Empirical studies of religion in contemporary China, including major, minor, and folk religions.
3. Theoretical studies in the social science of religion, including discussions of Weber, Durkheim, secularization theories, economics of religion, and postmodern theories.
4. Studies of religions in the contemporary world.
5. Studies of religious policies.
Other topics of your choice are welcome too.
