CORE 002 SC - Travel, Encounter, and the History of Religion

Through close reading of both travel texts and theoretical texts, from the present moment to the premodern past, we will ask how “religion” (as an abstract concept) and “religions” (as specific objects of Western study) emerged, and continue to be produced, out of the contact between “West” and “others.”
