Irreconcilable Differences? Jacques Derrida and the Question of Religion An International Conference Convened by Elisabeth Weber and Thomas A. Carlson Hosted by the Department of Religious Studies and the Department of Germanic, Slavic, and Semitic Studies. University of California, Santa Barbara October 23-25, 2003 "This will be the first major public conference to focus on Jacques Derrida's work in relation to the question of religion and conflict in today's world. The conference promises to be distinctive thanks both to the plurality of religious traditions examined and to the multiplicity of disciplinary approaches engaged. It will include scholars of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism who work in and between fields as diverse as anthropology, sociology, philosophy, political theory, literary studies, theology, religious studies, media studies, and gender studies."
