Dressing to belong: Religious and Faith Identities in an Expanded Europe

About the book:

A break between the Orient and the Occident.

Homelessness, flight, challenges in exile - these are not only the factors of the current crisis, but also the ingredients of one of the earliest poems of Western literature, the one of the great wanderings that Odysseus sometimes led to the shores of Sicily , The current session of the symposium 2016 in Syracuse / Sicily deals extensively with this crisis, which is also reflected in the differences between
neighborhood policy and enlargement policy.

Intellectuals from a wide range of areas report on their experiences in the encounter with the other and show possibilities of approaching the foreigner so that civil society can function and the bridging to the neighbors' culture succeeds. In their pictorial, historical, literary, musical, culinary and philosophical journeys they lead us to a prudent perception of cultural difference.
