The Department for Culture and History of India and Tibet at Universität Hamburg and the provisional Yoga Studies Research Network (YSRN) cordially invite scholars and researchers to actively participate in the third international academic conference: "Yoga Darśana, Yoga Sādhana: 'Introspection, Inspiration, Institutionalisation'" to be held in Hamburg from 22nd to 25th May 2024.
The Yoga Darśana, Yoga Sādhana (YDYS) conference series serves as a platform for the critical examination and dynamic discussion of recent advancements in the field of yoga studies. Following the success of the previous conferences in 2016 and 2022 (at Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland), this upcoming event promises to build upon those achievements.
We encourage submissions from scholars across various disciplines and backgrounds who are engaged in research related to yoga studies. Topics of interest for presentation at the conference include, but are not limited to:
- Introspection: Exploring the historical, philosophical, psychological, and experiential aspects of yoga
- Inspiration: Investigating the influences of yoga on artistic, literary, and cultural expressions from ancient to present day societies.
- Institutionalisation: Examining the historical and structural dimensions of yoga traditions’ social formations
Presentations may encompass theoretical analyses, empirical research, case studies, and interdisciplinary approaches to yoga studies. We particularly welcome innovative perspectives that shed new light on traditional and contemporary aspects of yoga research.
