Bourdieu og det religiøse felt

Torsdag 10. april 2008 kl 13-16
Københavns Universitet Amager
lokale 27.0.09 (Ny KUA)

Religionen, som man i det moderne sekulære samfund troede henvist til historiens hylder, er de senere år kommet til at fylde stadig mere i det sociale liv. Bourdieu helligede aldrig religion samme opmærksomhed som kunst, kultur, uddannelse osv. og publicerede ingen større empiriske undersøgelser af religiøs praksis i stil med La distinction, Homo Academicus eller La misère du monde. På den anden side er Bourdieus sociologi gennemsyret af termer og tankegange hentet fra den klassiske religionssociologi og med begrebet om det religiøse felt har han ydet et originalt teoretisk bidrag til religionsforskningen. Med Hexis’ temadag om Bourdieu og det religiøse felt er det ambitionen at belyse og diskutere, hvordan Bourdieu kan anvendes i arbejdet med forskellige typer religionssociologiske problemer, både generelle og specifikke, historiske og aktuelle, hjemlige og globale.

Lene Kühle (Religionssociologi, Århus Universitet):

Kate Østergaard (Tværkulturelle- og regionale studier, KU):
Nye muslimer i det religiøse felt

PUTTING PIERRE BOURDIEU TO WORK 4
A WORKING CONFERENCE
Organizers: Mike Savage and Loïc Wacquant

Thursday-Friday 29-30 May 2008
CRESC & Sociology, the University of Manchester (UK)

Interest in using Pierre Bourdieu’s theories, methods, and findings to investigate social change, inequality and politics continues to proliferate in European social science as well as around the world. This workshop will be convened by leading international scholars with interests in developing, testing, and revising Bourdieu’s analytic tools. The workshop is an interdisciplinary vehicle for doctoral students and post-doctoral scholars conducting social research deploying Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts to present and discuss their work and to learn from each other’s approaches, problems, and solutions.

There will be five themes:
1) Mike Savage and Alan Warde (Manchester): Class, culture and consumption
2) Nick Crossley (Manchester): Body, habit, and desire in everyday life
3) Elizabeth Silva (Open University): Gender and household
4) Tony Bennett (Open University): Ethnicity and nationalism
5) Loïc Wacquant (UC-Berkeley and CSE-Paris): the state and neo-liberalism.

The workshop will follow a model initiated in doctoral workshops at New York University (2004), University of California-Berkeley (2005), and University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (2006). Any interested scholars grappling with germane issues are welcome to attend and join in the discussion.

Anyone wishing to present a paper should contact Josine.Opmeer@manchester.ac.uk by the end of February 2008, with an indication of which of the five themes it would be relevant to. Papers presenting work in progress are especially encouraged (the more advanced the better). Potential contributions can be discussed with relevant theme convenors and/or Mike Savage.

School Tracking, Achievement and Inequalit

A seminar in honour of Torsten Husén

In all countries children are at some age diverted to separate tracks at school or do just leave it. Tracks may be distinguished by abilities of the students, academic content, degree of vocational training or some other aspect. The crucial question is not whether to introduce tracks or not but at what age tracking should start and according to which criteria tracks should be distinguished. Different forms of tracking could be evaluated based on effects on efficiency, equity and outcome of schooling.

Three international experts will provide scientific evidence on various aspects of school tracking: Professor Jürgen Baumert, Max- Planck-Institut für Bildungsforschung, Berlin, Germany, Professor Eric Hanushek, Hoover Institution, Stanford University, USA, and Professor Walter Müller, Mannheimer Zentrum für Europäische Sozialforschung, Universität Mannheim, Germany. A panel discussion will follow after the lectures.

Tid: 2008-11-12 09:00 - 12:30
