DESCRIPTION:Gil Anidjar\, Dept of Middle East and Asian Languages and Cultu
 res (MEALAC)\, Columbia University. What does it mean to refer to an indiv
 idual\, a period or an area as 'religious'? What work -- overt or covert -
 - does the word 'religion' do in its historical and contemporary usage? Fo
 cusing on knowledge\, sensibilities and power\, Talal Asad has offered a c
 onsistent and scrutinizing exploration of the uses and abuses of the conce
 pt of religion. Attempting to retrace his steps\, this paper will argue th
 at Asad's work has major consequences for an understanding of the concept\
 , if it is one\, of 'Christianity' and\, by extension\, 'Islam.' Gil Anidj
 ar is author of 'The Jew\, the Arab: A History of the Enemy' (Stanford Uni
 versity Press\, 2003) and 'Semites: Race\, Religion\, Literature' (Stanfor
 d U. Press\, pub. date October 15\, 2007).\n
