SUMMARY:(P48) Progressive Urban Religion in Southeast Asia: Religious Activists and their Struggles against the Conservative Turn in Metropolitan Areas
LOCATION:K12 | 2.03
DESCRIPTION:Metropolitan Areas in Southeast Asia have become the space for 
 power struggles and political contestation. Religious (-political) forces e
 xperience a conservative turn with polarization, politicization and are par
 t and parcel of wider national power struggles. Conservative forces, at tim
 es conservative-majoritarian or outright illiberal and radical, are at the 
 forefront of appealing to followers and non-followers, voters, civil societ
 y and the wider public. At the opposite are progressive religious groups, a
 ctivists and movements which struggle for liberal values, for the inclusion
  of LGBTIQ+, for interfaith marriage as well as for harmony between religio
 us groups. These civil society groups and activists also care for the poor 
 and the marginalized, which are otherwise overheard by the “loud” discourse
 s of the conservative forces. Not only are these groups and initiatives at 
 the forefront of a struggle for better lives of their members or target gro
 ups, for peace among\nreligions, but they ultimately safeguard liberal demo
 cracy and values, such as freedom of religion, freedom of speech etc.\n\nTh
 is panel gives space and room for the study of progressive religious groups
  and organizations, churches, mosques, temples etc. of Southeast Asian urba
 n areas. The focus is both the religious groups from a mere social-movement
  theoretical point of view as well as about concrete ideas, initiatives and
  activities that counter the conservative-majoritarian currents trying to e
 stablish counter-narratives of progressive nature – the empirical aspect of
  this panel.
