    International Conference Religious Conversions and Atheization in 20th Century Central and Eastern Europe (2024 ; Koper)
    Using a broad-based understanding of religious conversions which includes atheization and religious revival, the conference aims to address the issues related to religious transformation in Central ... and Eastern Europe in the 20th century and different types of religious agency that transcend established norms, legal frameworks and cultural expectations. The speakers will go beyond the usual concept of religious conversion as an exclusively individual, voluntary spiritual phenomenon and will examine conversions that embody the myriad motives, forms, and socio-political particularities which condition the changes of worldviews as a process that frequently encompasses obstacles, pragmatism and profound life alterations. The conf­erence will contribute to wide-ranging but – especially in Central and Eastern Europe – largely unexplored topics from a more nuanced understanding of the mechanisms that drive religious change and religion-state relations. Taking into account new research perspectives, scholars from the fields of history, anthropology, study of religions, ethnology, sociology, theology and political science will provide new insights into the following topics: - religious conversions as mechanisms for personal gain, coercive tactics and the (gradual) disestablishment of religious institutions; - state-imposed atheization processes; - religious upsurges of (non-)dominant religions, relations between religion and state, and the (re)shaping of religious policies in practise.
