Book Religion and Academia Reframed  Connecting Religion  Science  and Society in the Long Sixties

Download or read book Religion and Academia Reframed Connecting Religion Science and Society in the Long Sixties written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-07 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Long Sixties (1955–1973) were a period of economic prosperity, political unrest, sexual liberation, cultural experimentation, and profound religious innovation throughout the Western world. This social effervescence also affected the study of religion by reshaping the relationships between academic and religious institutions and discourses. While the mainstream churches sought to deploy the instruments of the social sciences to understand and manage the changing socioreligious context, prominent scholars regarded the bubbly spirituality of the counterculture as the harbinger of a new era; some of them actively used their academic knowledge to further this revolution. This book discusses the multiple entanglements of religion and science during these turbulent decades through theoretically informed case studies from both sides of the Atlantic.

Book Theorising Religion

    Book Details:
  • Author : John Walliss
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2017-10-24
  • ISBN : 1351879618
  • Pages : 298 pages

Download or read book Theorising Religion written by John Walliss and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion is controversial and challenging. Whilst religious forces are powerful in numerous societies, they have little or no significance for wide swaths of public or private life in other places. The task of theoretical work in the sociology of religion is, therefore, to make sense of this apparently paradoxical situation in which religion is simultaneously significant and insignificant. The chapters of Part One consider the classical roots of ideas about religion that dominated sociological ways of thinking about it for most of the twentieth century. Each chapter offers sound reasons for continuing to find theoretical inspiration and challenge in the sociological classics whilst also seeking ways of enhancing and extending their relevance to religion today. Part Two contains chapters that open up fresh perspectives on aspects of modern, post-modern and ultra-modern religion without necessarily ignoring the classical legacy. The chapters of Part Three chart new directions for the sociological analysis of religion by fundamentally re-thinking its theoretical basis, by extending its disciplinary boundaries and by examining previously overlooked topics.

Book Annual Review of the Sociology of Religion  Volume 9  2018

Download or read book Annual Review of the Sociology of Religion Volume 9 2018 written by Solange Lefebvre and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catholicism is generally over-institutionalized and over-centralized in comparison to other religions. However, it finds itself in an increasingly interrelated and globalized world and is therefore immersed in a great plurality of social realities. The Changing Faces of Catholicism assembles an international cast of contributors to explore the consequent decline of powerful Catholic organisations as well as to address the responses and resistance efforts that specific countries have taken to counteract the secularization crisis in both Europe and the Americas. It reveals some of the strategies of the Catholic Church as a whole, and of the Vatican centre in particular, to address problems of the global era through the dissemination of spiritually progressive writing, World Youth Days, and the transformation of Catholic education to become a forum for intercultural and interreligious dialogue. The volume also reflects on the adaptation of Catholic institutions and missions as sponsored by religious communities and monastic orders.

Book The Centrality of Religion in Social Life

Download or read book The Centrality of Religion in Social Life written by Eileen Barker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-18 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James A. Beckford's work is internationally acclaimed not only in the sociology of religion, but also in other fields of the social sciences. Beckford has long been arguing that the barriers that have grown up between the different sub-disciplines should be broken down, with those specialising in religion becoming more cognisant of new theoretical developments, and sociologists in general becoming more aware of the significance of developments in the religious scene. This book is a collection of essays written in Beckford's honour, drawing on a number of religious themes that have been central to Beckford's interests, whilst also offering a significant contribution to our understanding of the wider society. A central theme is modernity (and its relation to the post-modern), and how religion affects and is affected by the dynamics of contemporary society, with the primary focus of many of the chapters being a concern with how society copes with the minority religions that have become visible with the globalising tendencies of contemporary society. The contributors, who come from America, Asia and various parts of Europe, are all internationally renowned scholars. Beckford's most important publications are listed in an Appendix and the volume opens with a short account of his contribution to sociology by Eileen Barker (the editor) and James T. Richardson.

Book Sociologie Et Religions

    Book Details:
  • Author : Liliane Voyé
  • Publisher : Leuven University Press
  • Release : 1999
  • ISBN : 9789061869672
  • Pages : 268 pages

Download or read book Sociologie Et Religions written by Liliane Voyé and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the relations between sociology and the different religions--Christianity with its various branches, Judaism, Islam, Oriental religions, sects and New Religious Movements? That is the question which this work, conceived on the occasion of the XXVth Conference of the International Society for the Sociology of Religion/Société Internationale de Sociologie des Religions (SISR), wishes to clarify.The book retraces the varied and troubled history of these relations and also reveals how in opening up its research to other religions besides the Christian, sociology is forced to redefine the very object of its field of study. What is the religious? This question, which until recently was considered impertinent, informs this book throughout.If confronts the necessity of rethinking theories and methodological approaches which, constructed in the context of 19th and early 20th century Western Europe, prove to be rather inadequate for encompassing contemporary religious phenomena and religious manifestations in other contexts. To these new theoretical and methodological demands is added, for the sociologist, a deontological imperative, which takes on all the more importance today as the religious provokes passionate social debate.

Book Religion  Politics and Law in the European Union

Download or read book Religion Politics and Law in the European Union written by Lucian N. Leustean and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EU enlargement - to countries in Central and Eastern Europe in 2004, the inclusion of Bulgaria and Romania in 2007, and increasing debates on Turkey’s membership - has dramatically transformed the European Union into a multi-religious space. Religious communities are not only shaping identities but are also influential factors in political discourse. This edited volume examines the activities of religious actors in the context of supranational European institutions and the ways in which they have responded to the idea of Europe at local and international levels. By bringing together scholars working in political science, history, law and sociology, this volume analyses key religious factors in contemporary EU architecture, such as the transformation of religious identities, the role of political and religious leaders, EU legislation on religion, and, the activities of religious lobbies. This book was published as a special issue of Religion, State and Society.

Book La religion dans la France contemporaine

Download or read book La religion dans la France contemporaine written by Philippe Portier and published by Armand Colin. This book was released on 2021-01-13 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alors que l’on croyait en avoir fini avec le fait religieux sous la poussée d’une modernité occidentale qui semblait en avoir fortement réduit l’impact social, la religion occupe à nouveau une place centrale dans l’actualité française. Au coeur de discussions et polémiques, elle figure également à l’agenda politique, les autorités publiques cherchant à redéfinir aussi bien les conditions d’exercice de la liberté religieuse et ses limites que le point d’équilibre à trouver pour garantir la neutralité religieuse de l’État dans la société. Dans ce contexte, les diverses religions relisent leurs traditions et l’actualisent, suscitant des réactions diverses en leur sein. Cet ouvrage présente les données les plus actuelles sur les reconfigurations contemporaines du religieux en France : net décrochage du catholicisme, progression des « sans religion », pluralisation accentuée, essor de certaines croyances, brouillage des frontières entre religieux et non-religieux... Congédiant l’idée selon laquelle plus de modernité signifierait moins de religion, il vient également montrer que, bien au contraire, l’ultramodernité contemporaine, pénétrée d’incertitudes, entraîne de profonds bouleversements du religieux qui ont des conséquences politiques, sociales et culturelles dont on ne mesure pas encore suffisamment l’ampleur.

Book Food  Religion and Communities in Early Modern Europe

Download or read book Food Religion and Communities in Early Modern Europe written by Christopher Kissane and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-14 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a three-part structure focused on the major historical subjects of the Inquisition, the Reformation and witchcraft, Christopher Kissane examines the relationship between food and religion in early modern Europe. Food, Religion and Communities in Early Modern Europe employs three key case studies in Castile, Zurich and Shetland to explore what food can reveal about the wider social and cultural history of early modern communities undergoing religious upheaval. Issues of identity, gender, cultural symbolism and community relations are analysed in a number of different contexts. The book also surveys the place of food in history and argues the need for historians not only to think more about food, but also with food in order to gain novel insights into historical issues. This is an important study for food historians and anyone seeking to understand the significant issues and events in early modern Europe from a fresh perspective.

Book Histoire  Soci  t   et   tudes Islamiques Au 21e Si  cle

Download or read book Histoire Soci t et tudes Islamiques Au 21e Si cle written by Vincent Legrand and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2024-08-05 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embrassant le défi de la compréhension de l'islam en contexte autour de l'altérité et des normes, l'ouvrage est original à trois égards. Tout d'abord, par son approche trans-historique, où passés et présents sont intimement inter-reliés, éclairant des phénomènes contemporains à travers leurs enracinement et genèse historiques et en mettant en évidence des phénomènes passés dans la perspective, voire la prospective, d'enjeux contemporains. Ensuite, par son approche trans-religieuse et trans-civilisationnelle (en l'occurrence islamo-chrétienne) dans plusieurs chapitres, pour aborder l'islam, dans ses rapports avec les minorités et en tant que minorité lui-même en contexte européen, et, de manière comparée, avec le christianisme: une approche permettant par « expérience-miroir » de contextualiser l'islam, souvent prisonnier de prismes essentialisants. Enfin, l'ouvrage apporte, dans une perspective pluri- et inter-disciplinaire, un état des lieux de l'apport des diverses disciplines qui l'embrassent, à la pointe des connaissances des sciences humaines et sociales de 21e siècle.

Book Sociologie des religions

Download or read book Sociologie des religions written by Olivier Bobineau and published by Armand Colin. This book was released on 2012-05-16 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comment comprendre le « retour » du religieux ? Religions et modernité ne seraient donc pas incompatibles ? Qu’est-ce qui a changé depuis les temps de la sécularisation et de la laïcité triomphante ? Faut-il chercher la réponse du côté d’une étonnante faculté d’adaptation des religions ou des angoisses sociales et des désarrois individuels ? Cette 2e édition refondue propose des grilles de lecture et d’interprétation aptes à cibler les interactions du social et du religieux. C’est à ce besoin que la sociologie des religions s’est efforcée de répondre, dans la diversité de ses approches et de ses terrains. Comment s’est-elle développée depuis Durkheim et Weber ? Quels sont ses grands représentants actuels, ses débats, ses acquis ? Que dit-elle du phénomène religieux dans nos sociétés contemporaines ? Olivier Bobineau est enseignant-chercheur, membre du Groupe Sociétés, Religions, Laïcités (CNRS/EPHE). Sébastien Tank-Storper est chargé de recherche au CNRS, membre du Centre d'études interdisciplinaires des faits religieux (CNRS-EHESS).

Book Sociologies et religion

Download or read book Sociologies et religion written by Erwan Dianteill and published by Presses Universitaires de France - PUF. This book was released on 2005 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La question de la sécularisation des sociétés contemporaines a profondément marqué la naissance de la sociologie des religions : les auteurs présentés ici (E. Troeltsch, K. Mannheim, E. Bloch, A. Gramsci, M. Mauss, Z. Neale Hurston, R. Bastide, L. Goldmann et P. Bourdieu), tout en étant tributaires des problématiques définies par les " pères fondateurs ", s'en écartent pourtant sensiblement. Dans leur grande diversité, leurs analyses sont moins centrées sur l'affaiblissement de la religion que sur la capacité des acteurs religieux à créer des formes sociales, y compris en modernité. S'inspirant de Marx, de Durkheim ou de Weber, ils s'en écartent ainsi notablement lorsqu'il s'agit de rendre compte des relations entre religion et société : ce sont des disciples hétérodoxes et infidèles, des dissidents en quelque sorte. C'est ce qui fait l'intérêt de leurs travaux, qui ne relèvent d'aucune orthodoxie d'école et échappent aux pièges de l'épigonisme. Ils ont, chacun à leur façon, ouvert des chemins de traverse, des sentiers inattendus, des déviations intéressantes.
