SUMMARY:Spring seminar: Comparison 
LOCATION:The Artic University of Tromsø (UiT) 
DESCRIPTION:<p><span style="font-family: 'Calibri', sans-serif;"></span></p><p style="m
 argin-top: 12pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font
 -family: 'Larsseit Light';">Comparison is basic to thinking and categorizin
 g, and accordingly to academic work, whether labelled as comparative or not
 . Yet comparison has been and remains contested, in the wake of trenching c
 ritique from the 1970s and costs and problems with comparative designs. Suc
 h critique did not result in the abandonment of comparative approaches; for
  instance, leading scholars like Bruce Lincoln and Jonathan Smith have thro
 ughout their careers worked along comparative tracks. Yet comparison have o
 ver the past decades not been foregrounded or widely acknowledged as a meth
 od. Nor is there today an established &ldquo;comparative approach&rdquo;. I
 n the words of Birgit Meyer &ndash; and this claim can be extended to the a
 cademic study of religion - &ldquo;anthropology&rsquo;s comparative approac
 h&rdquo; is not simply &ldquo;there&rdquo; and ready to be implemented &hel
 lip; but is yet to be revived and developed in terms of epistemology, theor
 y, and method&rdquo; (2017:510). </span></p><p style="margin-top: 12pt; mar
 gin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 12pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;"><span style="fon
 t-family: 'Larsseit Light';">This PHD-course discusses recent attempts alon
 g such lines, with a focus on constructive ways forward and methodological 
 concerns. If compare we must, how can we do it better, more informed, and i
 n ways that avoid pitfalls? How can we learn from past mistakes, without se
 ttling for what Bruce Lincoln&acute;s &ldquo;Thesis on comparison&rdquo; ca
 lls &ldquo;a parochialism that dares speak nothing beyond the petty and the
  particular&rdquo;. What is the analytical pay off of comparison, in regard
  to critical thinking and knowledge production? What is the comparison invo
 lved in our own work, and in the religious worlds we study? </span></p><p><
