CASI 3RD ANNUAL CONFERENCE: Constructing Authority through Custom and Tradition

September 28, 2013

 Third Annual Conference

 September 27-28, 2013

Yet, the fascination with freedom or the desire to be part of the “modern world” goes hand in hand with various manifestations of criticism and resistance. As often as not, the latter mobilize custom and tradition, or at least refer to them or manufacture versions of them, in an attempt to counter the Western neoliberal model and promulgate alternative ways of being “modern”.
