Symposia: The Graduate Student Journal of the Centre for the Study of Religion at the University of Toronto, lance un appel à contribution pour un numéro sur temps et religion.The editorial team extends a cordial call for original, unpublishedpapers investigating the link between religion and time. Ours has beendescribed as a society suffering from space-time compression, a state inwhich ‘time passes us by’ and we are forever ‘running out of time’ asglobal capitalism speeds up the pace of life. Closely related to this,some might argue, time plays a key role in many of our anxieties – inthe ‘panicked nature’ of reactions to perceived emergencies, in whichaction is constantly required now, lest delay bring disaster, or in thenervous approach of December 2012 and the end of the Mayan calendar. Asa cultural element, religion is not immune to these influences, as weobserve with the eschatological guessing-game of some Christian groups.But how are religion and time related in a given context, and how can weextend our analysis beyond the modern day?We welcome articles that address the relation between religion and timein the contexts of geography, psychology, history, anthropology, genderstudies, philosophy, political science, cultural studies and sociology,as well as those which extend the subject across historical andgeographical boundaries.
