RRS Conference Announcement: We are pleased to announce that Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Arizona (Tucson) is organizing a conference on "The Formation of Regional Religious Systems in Greater China." Supported by generous funding from the Chiang Chingkuo Foundation and Su Wukang East Asia Research Fund, this conference aims to provide a new perspective to the “old question” of regionalism and localism in Chinese history, thus initiating a renewed research program of historical GIS and spatial analysis for achieving a more complete consideration of the role of religion in terms of regional formation. The conference, open to all, will be held on April 7 and 8 in Silver and Sage Conference Room at Old Main on campus. Please register through our website. In addition, two conference participants, Prof. Lewis Lancaster (ECAI Director, UC Berkeley) and Prof. Peter Bol (Vice Provost, Harvard University), will give separate lectures on Buddhist studies and online learning on April 6. Please visit our conference website at http://rrs.arizona.edu for details. We encourage our colleagues to spread the news by using the social media functions provided in the website.

Modern Chinese history offers scholars plenty of reasons to abandon the state-imposed neologism of 'religion'. For its popularization in the late 19th century marked the start of multiple cycles of violence against 'superstition' , its ideological twin. To the contrary, this article explores how 'religion' (zongjiao) is deployed by ordinary people in contemporary Southern Fujian. Through three case studies I demonstrate that 're-ligion' has become part of the ways ordinary people in contemporary Southern Fujian harmonize their conflicting ritual practices and ideas about the world. A more narrow and exclusive deployment of 'religion' by scholars, followed by policy makers, may augment the realms of 'culture' and 'superstition' , the latter of which has in particular been subject to coercive action in China. Being aware of the nefarious consequences of deploying 'religion' outside the Western world since the 19th century, scholars today have a responsibility to premeditate the outcome of narrowing down the range of practices, architecture, clergy, communities, and objects currently associated with 'religion'. Keywords religion – superstition – China – religious freedom – ritual – household * Bram Colijn is a PhD student at the Faculty of Theology, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. He studies religious diversity in contemporary China from an anthropological perspective. His recent fieldwork focuses on the communal rituals of households shared by practitioners of folk Buddhism and Protestant Christianity. He is a cum laude graduate of Contemporary Asian Studies at the University of Amsterdam and an associate fellow at the research cluster 'Religion in Modern China' at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen.

Religion in China: Major Concepts and Minority Positions2015 •
Religions of foreign origin have shaped Chinese cultural history much stronger than generally assumed and continue to have impact on Chinese society in varying regional degrees. The essays collected in the present volume put a special emphasis on these “foreign” and less familiar aspects of Chinese religion. Apart from an introductory article on Daoism (the prototypical autochthonous religion of China), the volume reflects China’s encounter with religions of the so-called Western Regions, starting from the adoption of Indian Buddhism to early settlements of religious minorities from the Near East (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) and the early modern debates between Confucians and Christian missionaries. Contemporary religious minorities, their specific social problems, and their regional diversities are discussed in the cases of Abrahamitic traditions in China.
