RACE \/ RELIGION \/ WAR
A SYMPOSIUM<\/a>
OCTOBER 18-19, 2012
554 BARROWS HALL
This two-day symposium at UC Berkeley will explore the uses of race and religion to establish war as a strategy of political power, and conversely the uses of war to stabilize the epistemologies of race and religion as intimately linked organizing categories of social life\u2014what we might call the \u201crace\/religion\/war\u201d nexus.<\/p>\nThis inquiry finds its proximate cause in the racialization of Islam that has animated the contemporary U.S. led \u201cwar on terror,\u201d as well as its doppelgangers in places like London, the Parisian Banlieues, Chechnya, Palestine, Darfur, Kashmir, and the Huiger regions of China. Our aim, however, will be to consider how the race\/religion\/war nexus coheres in the present precisely because of a set of much longer historicotheoretical processes. That is, multiple overlapping genealogies mutually determine our political present: from the medieval religious wars of the Crusades to the formation of race in the conquest of the Americas; from the birth of the modern state-system in its deployment of antisemitism to the racializing rubrics of development in the capitalist world system; from the colonial wars of high imperialism to the significance of third world proxy wars for the purportedly secular rivalry of the Cold War. The symposium will animate potential convergences in current scholarship on the longue dur\u00e9e of the race\/religion\/war nexus in what have been discrepant, if deeply interrelated, knowledge projects.<\/p>\n
