Almut-Barbara RengerProfessorFreie Universität Berlin

Drawing upon a wide range of sources and theoretical perspectives in the fields of religion and literature, Professor Renger’s work focuses on the creation and dissemination of myths, legends, idols and icons in a variety of ancient and modern cultural contexts. Primarily, she is concerned with the Western classical tradition, with numerous articles and books that explore the continuing effects of Ancient Greek and Roman mythology and religion throughout history up to the present day. This work consistently centers on the use of mythological themes and motifs in literary texts, film and popular culture as well as in modern and contemporary forms of esotericism and alternative religion.

Another research area investigates dynamic tensions in the history of religions between Asia, Europe and the U.S. In particular, she is interested in cross-cultural interactions and their impact on religious agency as manifested both in society and literature. Of specific concern in this connection are charismatic teachers and leaders, their self-conception and attraction to followers, as well as the topics of discipleship and the transmission and transformation of religious and philosophical knowledge. Related to this, she specifically examines cultural transformations of Buddhism in the 20th and 21st centuries.
