The Psychology of Migration
This book forms an introduction to the emerging discipline of “psychology of migration”, which is an interdisciplinary field of reflection and research, joining together diverse subfields of psychology with anthropological, sociological, demographic and historical inquiry on migration processes. The introductory chapter marks the borders of this borderline discipline, defines important notions and the subject of inquiry, and presents its main research themes together with prospective paths for the discipline’s development. The second chapter presents research methods applied in psychology of migration. Acculturation processes and their psychological analysis as well an impact on the mental health of migrants are the main topics of interest in the third chapter. The last chapter covers issues of mutual relations between religion and migration. Conclusive remarks on contemporary psychology of migration facing cultural and religious diversity in COVID-19 pandemic times are outlined, pointing at challenges the discipline will surely meet in the future.
The Oxford Handbook of Religion in Modern Ireland
What does religion mean to modern Ireland and what is its recent social and political history? The Oxford Handbook of Religion in Modern Ireland provides in-depth analysis of the relationships between religion, society, politics, and everyday life on the island of Ireland from 1800 to the twenty-first century. Taking a chronological and all-island approach, it explores the complex and changing role of religion both before and after partition. The handbook's thirty-two chapters address long-standing historical and political debates about religion, identity, and politics, including religion's contributions to division and violence. They also offer perspectives on how religion interacts with ed...
Neo-Paganism: Historical Inspiration & Contemporary Creativity
A living relationship with the wild natural world is our birthright as human beings. But centuries of civilization, patriarchy, transcendental monotheism, reductionist science, and capitalism have broken the connection between humankind and nature. To be Neo-Pagan today is to reclaim our original relation with the world. It is nothing more and nothing less than to be fully human again. To (re-)learn what this means, we need to strip away the layers of estrangement that have accreted to our collective soul over the centuries. So we look back to our pagan ancestors. Though separated by time, there is a connection between us and them. We carry it in our flesh and blood. At our most fundamental, we are still the same human beings we were then. We can be pagan again today because we live under the same Sun and on the same Earth, we feel the same wind blowing through our hair and the same rain falling on our skin.
Managing Sacralities
What happens when religious sites, objects and practices become cultural heritage? What are —religious or secular—sources of expertise and authority that validate and regulate heritage sites, objects and practices? As cultural heritage becomes an increasingly popular and influential frame, these questions arise in diverse and challenging manners. The question who controls, manages, and frames religious heritage, and how, arises with particular urgency. Case studies from Denmark, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal and the United Kingdom present an analysis of the paradoxes and challenges that arise when religious sites are transformed into heritage.
Modern Religious Druidry
Zusammenfassung: Over the past three decades, the academic study of modern Paganism has gone from strength to strength. Scholars now have access to a plethora of studies available on such new religions as Wicca, Heathenry, and the Goddess Movement - but despite its prominence, modern Druidry has been much neglected. This book seeks to change that. This volume is interdisciplinary in basis, bringing together contributions from anthropologists, historians, and scholars of religion. It fundamentally deepens collective scholastic understandings of modern religious Druidry as an actor within the broader Pagan milieu. In addition to looking at the movement in various national contexts, the volume ...

Granice szaleństwa - granice kultury
Wyobraźmy sobie człowieka, statystycznego mieszkańca wielkiego, europejskiego miasta, zatrudnionego w korporacji, któremu od kilku miesięcy, nieprzerwanie, codziennie w godzinach pracy ukazuje się duch zmarłej przed laty babci. Pracownicy biura, zaniepokojeni faktem, że ich kolega rozmawia z niewidoczną dla nich osobą, sugerują mu wizytę u specjalisty. W tym momencie następuje przekroczenie granicy szaleństwa, które w kulturze zachodniej odbywa się w zaciszu gabinetu lekarskiego, a dokładniej w momencie kiedy psychiatra wpisuje na karcie pacjenta odpowiedni kod klasyfikacji ICD-10. Jeżeli zaś wspomniana korporacji funkcjonowałaby zgodnie z normami kultur tradycyjnych czy ...
Marion Zimmer Bradley
This literary companion surveys the young adult works of American author Marion Zimmer Bradley, primarily known for her work in the fantasy genre. An A to Z arrangement includes coverage of novels (The Catch Trap, Survey Ship, The Fall of Atlantis, The Firebrand, The Forest House and The Mists of Avalon), the graphic narrative Warrior Woman, the Lythande novella The Gratitude of Kings, and, from the Darkover series, The Shattered Chain, The Sword of Aldones and Traitor's Sun. Separate entries on dominant themes--rape, divination, religion, violence, womanhood, adaptation and dreams--comb stories and longer works for the author's insights about the motivation of institutions that oppress marginalized groups, especially women.
Najdawniejsi czarotwórcy
Określenie „literatura fantasy” większości czytelników przywodzi zapewne na myśl odmienny od naszego świat, w którym działa magia, a co za tym idzie, istotną rolę odgrywają władające nią postacie. Rzadziej jednak zastanawiamy się nad tym, co złożyło się na obrazy takich bohaterów. W książce Najdawniejsi czarotwórcy podjęto próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie o owe źródła. Zawarte tu analizy skoncentrowano na treściach mitologicznych, baśniowych i legendarnych, które w największym stopniu ukształtowały te wyobrażenia, zakorzenione w zbiorowej świadomości. Podstawą dociekań są więc teksty literackie i naukowe dotyczące mitologii greckiej, egipskiej, germa...
