Das Zusammentreffen von westlichen und nicht-westlichen Akteuren in der kolonialen und nachkolonialen Welt fand in contact zones statt und provozierte Veränderungen auf beiden Seiten des Kontakts. Die Konferenz stellt diejenigen Kontakte in den Mittelpunkt ihres Interesses, die im Kontext der Mission stattfanden, und zielt darauf ab zu untersuchen, was im Zusammentreffen von Personen mit unterschiedlichen religiösen, kulturellen, sozialen und politischen Hintergrund geschah: Wie veränderten sich ihre Denkkonzepte, Haltungen und Handlungsweisen? Was entstand in diesen Begegnungen und durch diese Begegnungen an Neuem – im westlichen wie im nicht-westlichen Kontext?
