STORIA DELLE RELIGIONI NEL MONDO GLOBALIZZATO

Le ricerche nel 2013 sono finalizzate a mettere in luce peculiarità locali e prospettive globali di un discorso che ha avuto un impatto culturale al di là dei confini della disciplina. Oltre a una serie di lavori su momenti della storiografia, il progetto che presenta aspetti innovativi si concentra attorno agli assi della ricerca storico-religiosa in Europa movendo dallo studio dei carteggi, intercorsi tra i protagonisti di tale ricerca. A tale fine si è formato un gruppo di ricerca da me coordinato che si riunirà a Erfurt in agosto nel quadro del congresso della IAHR per discutere pubblicazioni apparse o in corso di pubblicazione. Estrapoliamo dal programma online i tratti salienti del progetto. Quaerendum est in litteris quod non est in actis. Issues of Religious Historiography in Scholarly Correspondences. Panel at the XXI IAHR World Congress, Erfurt 2015.Correspondences as a literary genre have proven to be an important key to reading religious historiography, both in order to obtain access to the Lebenssitz of scholars and to put concepts, debates, developments in their respective contexts. Hence, the religious-historical methodology cannot afford to neglect such a literary genre, given its character as 'etic' representation approaching the research object with an immediacy and originality that only personal communications can have; a freshness enriching scientific narration at all its levels with new and sometimes unexpected points of view. This panel intends to present recent publications dealing with significant exchanges of letters in the European area.Weinreich – Nilsson (G. Casadio, M.
