495RS Time And Space In The History Of Religions (3)
Time and space are essential components of the lived worlds of human beings,
yet the cultural and historical constructions of these are remarkably diverse
and, moreover, are subject to change. This course is a cross-cultural,
interdisciplinary, and comparative exploration of the constructions and
experiences of time and space found in selected religious communities and
historical periods. In addition, it investigates the pivotal role the
categories of "sacred and profane time and space" have played in theorizing
religion and in the study of religious myths and rituals in the modern period.
