The research group ‚Religion and Urbanity‘ within the the Max-Weber-Kolleg starts own Blog

The blog considers the mutual formation of urbanity and religion from antiquity to the present. It focuses on specific case studies, like Mediterranean cities of the ancient world, early modern political and religious centres or modern Indian towns, but it also introduces more wide-ranging, theoretical investigations. It is run by the DFG-funded Kollegforschungsgruppe “Religion and Urbanity: Reciprocal Formations”.
