Lecture abstract：
With ethnographic stories from Salatiga, Central Java, I discuss the ways in which cross-religious adoptions of words and substances can materialize interpersonal trust, but note that cross-religious solidarity in the neighborhood does not exclude a sense of competition with or even hostility towards other religions. Once the context is moved outside of the neighborhood community and towards more exclusively defined religious communities, a strengthened religious identity may erode social belonging in the neighborhood. As such, performing pluralism is always an unfinished project.

Chairpersons：Tsai, Yen-ling (Associate Professor at Department of Humanities and Social Sciences)
