Vinciane Constantin – författare

The open access publication of this book was funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation.The ‘Roman School’ of History of Religions developed a historicist approach grounded in historical and social contextualization, differential comparison and critical reflection over its own concepts. In this book, Historians of Religions and Anthropologists demonstrate the relevance of this legacy for contemporary research, at a time when the History of Religions, rightly focusing on its own discursive critique, tends nonetheless to give up any comparison. The editors and contributors of this volume defend the possibility of more complex questions, and open up new insights in historiographical issues as well as historico-cultural analysis.
