This course addresses a core theme of Religious Studies such as Ritual and Sacrifice; Sacred Space and Sacred Time, or Politics and Law. The course investigates the chosen core theme by closely studying seminal and classic contributions to the field and by exploring various (sub-)disciplinary perspectives from anthropology, cultural history, literary studies, and philosophy. This allows students to get an overview of the different domains within the Research Master's programme Religious Studies at Utrecht University, and to identify their personal area of specialisation.
