Book excerpt: Knjiga Senses and religion (Čuti in religija) odpira nova vprašanja o razmerju med percepcijo čutov in kulturo, med teološko teorijami in ljudskimi praksami. V petnajstih prispevkih se kažejo različna pojmovanja in dojemanja čutov: nekateri avtorji posvečajo svojo pozornost predvsem petim čutom – vidu, sluhu, tipu, okusu in vonju, drugi pa razpravljajo tudi o doživljanjih, povezanih s temi čuti.

Book excerpt: The image of Our Lady of Czestochowa is the most famous and the most venerated holy image in Poland. In contemporary Poland the image is a kind of a cultural icon, instantly recognizable and connected with popular symbolic and mythological meanings. Presented in this book is an analysis of beliefs, narratives (great and small stories), myths, and rituals. This analysis reveals that for its devotees the image is not merely a material object and a picture--it is perceived, lived, and experienced as a real person--figure of Mary--Queen and Mother.

Download or read book Gendered Rural Spaces written by Pia Olsson and published by Suomalaisen Kirjallisuuden Seura. This book was released on 2009-12-22 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rural spaces are connected with different cultural, economic, social and political codes and meanings. In this book these meanings are analysed through gender. The articles concretely show the process of producing gender and the ways in which accepted gender-based behaviour has been constructed at different times and in different groups. Discussion of gendered spaces leads to wider questions such as power relations and displacement in society. The changing rural processes are analysed on the micro level, and the focus is set on how these changes affect people's everyday lives. Answers are looked for questions like how are individuals responding to these changes? What are their strategies, solutions and tactics? How have they experienced the change process?

Download or read book Ethnology of Religion written by Gábor Barna and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of the research carried out in different countries under various names (religiose Volkskunde, Volksfrommingkeitsforschung, ethnology of religion, anthropology of religion, etc.) is essentially the same: so-called folk religiosity or popular religion supplementing the practice of dogmatic religions, the everyday practice of religion and, in general, an ethnological/anthropological approach to the study of religious life. What is the epistemological basis of the research? How is the subject of the research defined? What methods are considered suitable for the study of the religious phenomenon? Who are the most important researchers and what are their main publications? Has research on religion become an independent field of research? The answers to these and many other questions are to be found in the studies in this book which present the history of scholarship and research in ethnology of religion as a discipline in fourteen countries of Europe (Belgium/Flanders, Croatia, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Lithuania, Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden). They cover a spectrum ranging from classical 19th century ethnographical writings to today's studies of an anthropological nature. The extensive bibliographies make the volume a valuable aid in research and university education.
