Organized workshop:
Secularism: Theory and Practice in Dialogue
19 - 20 de November, 2010, CES - Coimbra
Presentation:
Secularism is clearly one of the constitutive pillars of Europe’s ideological self-image. The notion of secularism consequently serves a number of politically relevant purposes: it marks the point in European history when church and state became institutionally separated; it highlights the constant decline in individual beliefs that is supposedly a sign of successful modernization; and it describes the process of differentiation that allows for a multiplicity of social spheres with their local standards of legitimacy.
This is the standard narrative of secularism, well known from (some traditional schools within) the sociology of religion. The problem with this story is that, if we look at Europe more carefully and from the outside, it is incomplete at best and harmful at worst. The incompleteness of the standard narrative of secularism becomes evident once we take into account the real diversity of life worlds in European societies today. The past experience of colonialist projects and the present experience of immigration patterns shatter the basic assumption that individual beliefs are permanently in decline. Further, the more visible presence of Muslim immigrants in many European societies has led to revisions in the ideological self-image of Europe as secular.
This advanced training course shall offer an overview over these issues by bringing together various disciplines that have secularism as on object of research: theology, philosophy, anthropology and sociology. The advanced training course will be further supplemented by a roundtable discussion with Fernando Catroga (FLUC) around the topic of one of his latest books – secularism and the republic.
Speakers:
AbdoolKarim Vakil (Department of Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies/ Department of History , King's College London )
Angelo Cardita (CES)
Clemens Zobel (CES)
João Cardoso Rosas (Minho University)
Mathias Thaler (CES)

Round table:
Between God and Caesar
with Fernando Catroga, FLUC
November 19th, 2010, 19.00, Santa Clara-a-Velha Monastery, Coimbra
Summary
The round table with Professor Fernando Catroga (School of Humanities - UC) provided an opportunity to discuss the issues addressed by his book, in its second edition, called: Entre deuses e Césares: secularização, laicidade e religião civil: uma perspectiva histórica (in English, "Between God and Caesar. Secularism, Laity and Civil Religion; an historical perspective") This work is particularly relevant to the Portuguese cultural background due to the systematization of essential data to the discussion of secularization and the reference to the Portuguese reality. The intervention of Professor Fernando Catroga will be discussed by AbdoolKarim Vakil, Silas Oliveira and Teresa Toldy. Chair: Mathias Thaler.
