Conference: Religion, Urbanity and Trade: Processes of Mercantilisation in Urban Spaces

Ettersburg, 13.11.2024 – 15.11.2024

The Centre for Advanced Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences “Religion and Urbanity: Reciprocal Formations” will hold its annual conference on processes of mercantilisation in urban space. The international conference focusses on mercantilisation brought on and shaped by the interaction of religious and urban practices, institutions, and agents. At the core of the conference lays the triangular relation of economies, religion, and urbanity. This triangular relationship will be approached from different disciplinary perspectives and across historical epochs and regions to come to a more complex understanding of cities in global history.
