| Résumé: | The annual conference, organized by Edward Bailey at Denton Hall, in Yorkshire, UK, again demonstrated the power and subtlety of the concept of Implicit Religion as a tool for exploring the underlying significance of a wide range of social phenomena. Professional academics from different fields and others, bringing a variety of professional and personal interests, gathered to hear and discuss thirteen papers. As well as the usual benefits of making new and renewing existing contacts, the Denton Conference facilitates dialogue between disciplines, and sometimes between cultures, dialogue which is increasingly important given the target-focussed and output oriented pressure on academe. Despite the dangers of imposing an artificial categorization on the extraordinarily rich variety of themes and approaches of the thirteen papers, they are reported upon under four headings: the classic use of the concept of Implicit Religion; empirical studies; conceptual challenges; and windows on new worlds. |
