Sacred Arts Festival announces 2017 Theme
http://www.stthomas.edu/saf/sacred-arts-festival-announces-2017-theme.html
On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SacredArtsFestival
Contact: http://www.stthomas.edu/saf/staff/
The 100th anniversary of the death of the architect of the Chapel of St. Thomas Aquinas, Emmanuel-Louis Masqueray, provides the inspiration for the 2017 SAF theme “Sacred Spaces.” French-born Masqueray’s design for the chapel adapted the Byzantine basilica style employed in northern Italian cities during the Renaissance. Renowned as an architect of landmark buildings, Masqueray moved to the Twin Cities in 1905 at the invitation of Archbishop John Ireland to design the new Cathedral of St. Paul.
Musical events in UST’s own Masqueray’s gem during the spring 2017 festival will include a choral concert by premiere American early music performers The Rose Ensemble, and an organ concert by Vincent Dubois, titular organist of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.
The St. Thomas Sacred Arts Festival is an annual series of events focusing on the artistic traditions that articulate humanity’s understanding of the divine.
The festival presents a broad range of artistic forms, such as music, drama, dance, poetry, painting, and film. The festival seeks to engage the university and wider metropolitan communities.

16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence
http://www.womenscouncil.com.au/16-days-of-activism.html
November 25 to December 10, 2016 marks 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence.
The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence is a global campaign to raise awareness about violence against women and its impact on a woman’s physical, psychological, social and spiritual well-being. Human rights cannot be universal without human rights for women.
The 16 Days of Activism begins on 25th November on International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and ends on December 10th International Human Rights Day. These two dates highlight that violence against women is a human rights abuse.
We invite community members and organisations to coordinate or participate in an event to unite in the struggle to end violence against women. For further information on the 16 Days of Activism please visit the Amnesty International website www.amnesty.org
Contemporary Pagan Studies Group
AAR Annual Meeting San Antonio, TX
November 19-22, 2016
https://papers.aarweb.org/content/contemporary-pagan-studies-group
Statement of Purpose:
This Group provides a place for scholars interested in pursuing studies in this newly developing and interdisciplinary field and puts them in direct communication with one another in the context of a professional meeting. New scholars are welcomed and supported, while existing scholars are challenged to improve their work and deepen the level of conversation. By liaising with other AAR Program Units, the Group creates opportunities to examine the place of Pagan religions both historically and within contemporary society and to examine how other religions may intersect with these dynamic and mutable religious communities.

Call for Manuscripts: Post-Western Social Sciences and Global Knowledge (Brill book series)
Edited by Laurence Roulleau-Berger, CNRS/ENS de Lyon
http://www.brill.com/products/series/post-western-social-sciences-and-global-knowledge
Reflection in the social sciences is linked to the development of the Western society which saw its birth. The social sciences and humanities have developed very considerably in the last decades in different Asian countries, where both theoretical approaches and theoretical methodologies have been constantly changing. As a result of the circulation and globalisation of knowledge, new centres and new peripheral areas have been formed and new hierarchies have quietly emerged, giving rise in turn to new competitive environments in which innovative knowledge is being produced. The centres in which knowledge in the social sciences and humanities is produced have moved towards Asia. We are entering in a new phase of global intellectual life after Western hegemony. The aim of this series is to produce a Post-Western Space in which knowledge is produced that is both specific and shared and in which theories and methodologies are gathered together on the basis of very different histories and traditions.
Authors are cordially invited to submit proposals and/or full manuscripts by email to the publisher Jason Prevost at prevost@brill.com or by mail to BRILL, Attn: Rosanna Woensdregt, P.O. Box 9000, 2300 PA Leiden, The Netherlands.
We’re proud to announce the call for papers for our inaugural issue. Please find details below.
Call for Papers Special Inaugural Issue: Performance, Religion, and Spirituality (PRS), Volume 1 Issue 1 Deadline for abstracts: November 30th, 2016
https://prs-journal.org/2016/09/23/call-for-papers-v1-n1/
With calls for prayer as peaceful protest against the Dakota Access Pipeline, from Black Lives Matter to burkinis, and from immigration policy to Papal popularity, religion and spirituality is an undeniably visible and visceral component of recent activist and protest culture—on the web as much as on the ground, amidst casual conversation as much as political debate. The greatest political, economic, environmental, and cultural crises facing the world community today cannot be adequately understood without an appreciation of the performative dimensions of religion, spirituality, and ritual. As David Kertzer notes, “History is dotted with acts of revolt spawned by the special atmosphere that communal rites provide” (Ritual, Politics, and Power, 150). This special inaugural issue of Performance, Religion, and Spirituality invites submissions that explicitly grapple with the fact that religious attitudes, cultural theologies, spiritual economies, and ritual structures inflect and infuse the flow of wealth, the migration of workers, the fleeing of refugees, the elections of presidents, the distribution of power, the assertion of identity, and the negotiation of borders. As Judith Butler argues, the “public sphere” itself can be understood as an effect of certain religious traditions (“Introduction”, The Power of Religion in the Public Sphere, 8). The specific question this issue asks is, “How are religion and spirituality caught upper formatively within the creation of or reaction to political change, especially on the parts of individuals or groups who might engage religion and spirituality both in service for or against social protests or activist movements?” Although religion/spirituality might be broadly perceived to work toward greater social good, it also contributes to conflict. How do both established and independent religious or spiritual movements, groups, and individuals perform the perception of injustice and the need for alleviation or reform?
Submission of Abstracts:
Please submit a recent CV and your abstract of no more than 500 words byNovember 30 to journal.prs@gmail.com.
