Call for Papers

SACP Raimon Panikkar Symposium on Diatopical Hermeneutics

AAR Boston, November 20, 2020

At the annual meeting of the American Academy of Religion in Boston, the SACP will host the annual symposium on Raimon Panikkar and his intercultural-intrareligious thought. This symposium, offered in addition to the regular SACP panel(s), has been made possible by private donations. It will take place on November 20 (Friday), the day before the beginning of the official AAR program in order to avoid scheduling conflicts.

Last year in San Diego, we looked into the traditional wisdom that may ground us face the issue of climate change, which continues to be one of the vital issues of us all. We still seek to formulate a SACP resolution that has a practical bearing upon our professional responsibility.

This year, we will examine the fundamental importance of “hermeneutics” in our profession, and especially focus on the significance of Panikkar’s “Diatopical Hermeneutics” as a practical tool for reaching better understanding not only of oneself, but of one another, and of intercultural realities of our time, which cannot be divorced from their historical roots.

We hope that our sustained endeavor may produce yet another book, as the symposium has already resulted in a significant contribution to the field: Raimon Panikkar: A Companion (Cambridge: James Clark, 2018), ed., Peter Phan & Young-chan Ro.

Please submit your proposal of 200-300 words to Dr. Michiko Yusa at michiko.yusa@gmail.com. The deadline for the submission is March 31, 2020.
