Network Theory and Computer Modeling in the Study of Religion

International Workshop

August 29–September 4, 2016

Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest

In collaboration with the Department for the Study of Religion, Masaryk University, Brno and the Institute for the Advanced Study of Religion, Toronto

Organizing committee: Tamás Biró, Aleš Chalupa, István Czachesz

WORKSHOP  DESCRIPTION

This workshop continues the program of previous meetings that explored the relationship between network theory and cognitive science and the implications of that nexus for historiography. The primary intention of this workshop is to explore modeling techniques that can be used in the study of religion, identify aspects of religion (with an emphasis on cognitive features in the history of religions) that are good candidates to be captured by such models, and discuss what data is needed from historians, philologists, and archaeologist so that meaningful models can be created.
