Faculty of Arts and Faculty of Humanities, Charles University, are presenting international conference Slavery, Religion and Enlightenment.
The idea of the conference stems from our conviction that the revitalization of the institution of slavery in the Modern Era, in connection to the overseas expansion and colonization, has been of extreme importance not only for European economy, but also to its intellectual development. The aim of the conference is to present a variety of discourses and approaches to slavery ranging from economic history, church history to history of ideas or philosophy, and is not restricted to any particular place on the globe, as the institution of slavery has been by its nature a global issue. Idea of plurality and cross-disciplinary openness is inherent to our conference design with a hope to promote a kind of not only academic awakening from collective amnesia surrounding slavery as phenomenon closely tied to the emergence of the Western civilization in its modern shape and even its post-modern or liquid stage marked by unprecedented scope of globalization.
