Since Autumn 2013 the FOVOG Graduate Programme for the Interreligious Comparison of Monastic Cultures has been examining religious communities in an interreligious perspective, bringing a range of disciplines together into a single research unit. This event will be our second international open conference, following our event on ‘Between Community and Seclusion’ in late 2015.

Asceticism has been chosen as a theme for this conference. In the last decades, asceticism has become an increasingly prominent focus in religious studies, history, and social theory.

This conference will develop the existing research, through a focus on religious communities from varied traditions. Our aim will be expanding each research field through open discussion around the shared thematic point of ascetic practices. Our hope is to demonstrate both the variations and commonalities which exist in ascetic practices, and to fruitfully exchange analysis through disciplinary dialogue between specialists of respective religious cultures.
