Un appel à contribution est ouvert pour un numéro spécial Gender and religions in Central and Eastern Europe pour la revue Studia Humanistyczne AGH / Contributions to Humanities (2/2016).The relationship between gender and the field of religion in broad terms (religious culture, institutions, organizations and identities or religiosity) in the context of contemporary cultures is rarely a subject of systematic and in-depth reflection. The existing studies concentrate mostly on the Muslim context. Furthermore, sociological and feminist perspectives often perceive the relationship between gender and religion as a unidirectional impact, interpreting the religious field as imposing restrictions on and determining gender practices, identifications and views. The planned issue of Contributions to Humanities will be an attempt to problematize these encounters and present a more nuanced view on this. Attention will be paid to the complexity, multidimensionality and recurrence of relations between gender and the religious field as well as to their consequences and outcomes in the micro, meso and macro dimensions. The discussion on these issues will be located in the context of Central and Eastern European societies. In these countries, on the one hand, religion occupies a different place than in the political and social life of the Western European societies. On the other hand, research on this topic in the CEE region remain scarce. In addition, we welcome theoretical contributions.The issue will focus on the following problems and general research questions: - How does gender differentiate the religious experience?  - How does gender function in the religious field as an intersectional category in interactions with such dimensions as sexuality, age, class, ethnicity and race?As well as the above, we will be happy to receive or discuss potential contributions focusing on additional topics related to the theme of the issue. The deadline for submitting as abstract (approx. 500 words) along with initial reference list is January 15, 2015.
