The DiReSoM research group has adopted a functional definition of emergency. It concerns a «factual circumstances that require the production or application of extraordinary rules capable of facing the urgency of guaranteeing the exercise of the rights of freedom of religion, conscience and belief». This panel aims to explore how such definition can be adapted in relation to the specificities of religious laws, also considering a comparative perspective. The goal is to reconsider the transformative processes regarding religious institutions, characterized by gradual and profound changes, in the light of the concept of emergency. The flowing research lines will be addressed: a) What does emergency mean in the frame of religious laws?; b) Can emergency be considered a "normative fact"; c) What are the main strategies adopted by religious institutions to face emergencies?; d) What are the factors that determine their effectiveness?; e) What are the implications of the concept of "emergency" for the changes involving religious laws?
The proposed panel constitutes a stage of the research entitled "Religion and emergency rules" funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (PRIN 2022)
