At the 2007 meeting of the Society for the Anthropology of Religion, we seek to critically evaluate the notions of disenchantment and religious re-enchantment, asking questions such as:
• Are we witnessing a renewal of religious worldviews, or did they ever decline?
• What are the contours of contemporary religious landscapes, in the West and elsewhere?
• What do current developments tell us about the relationship between religion, science and nature in the contemporary world?
• How can we conceptualize emergent relations between the religious and the political that do not fit the paradigm of secularization?
• Does the high profile of religion in many parts of the world present particular opportunities and/or dilemmas for anthropologists of religion?

Both individual papers (15 minutes) and full panels (1 hour and forty-five minutes) are welcome.

Deadline: December 22, 2006 for submission of abstracts (250 words) to:
