Experiencing Religion
The various ethnologists and anthropologists contributing to this volume focus on the "self"-perspective in relation to religion and spirituality: on how religiosity is personally thought, dreamt, imagined, created, felt, perceived and experienced, in its various subjective forms. The personal motive and practice in religion is here put to the front. One can see this perspective also reflected in today's society, in the ways people, most strongly in the West, are nowadays dealing with religion, religiosity or spirituality, often drifted far away from the institutional church organizations. As a deeply personal experience, it is amazing how little effort is undertaken in a scholarly way to pu...
La spiritualité
Il est désormais courant de faire de la spiritualité le nouvel horizon de sens et d'action pour les sociétés modernes et globalisées qui ne sont plus tout à fait religieuses ni totalement sécularisées. Le sacré et le sens de la transcendance se réinventent perpétuellement, mais débordent désormais les traditions et irriguent des domaines aussi différents que le sport, la médecine, l'éducation, l'entreprise, l'écologie ou encore les technologies. C'est à ce voyage au-delà des frontières (religieuses, culturelles et disciplinaires) qu'invite une notion de spiritualité qui ne cesse d'être remaniée tout en conservant un cadre de signification qui lui assure son identité : celle d'une aspiration au dépassement de la condition humaine. Ce livre offre ainsi un panorama des usages et des significations associés à la spiritualité, dans l'histoire et dans les sociétés, dans ses différents domaines d'application, et introduit aux débats critiques soulevés par l'engouement récent et massif pour le " spirituel ".

L'au-delà
L’au-delà D’aussi loin que l’on puisse remonter, l’humanité s’est évertuée à imaginer un « au-delà » au monde des vivants. Qu’ils soient définis par les termes cosmos, univers, paradis, enfer, terres sacrées ou damnées, ces « autres » mondes ont été
Global Phenomena and Social Sciences
This book offers new perspectives on global phenomena that play a major role in today’s society and deeply shape the actions of individuals, organizations and nations. In a complex and rapidly changing environment, decision-makers need to gain a better understanding of global phenomena to adapt and to anticipate the evolution of the global context. The authors—ten renowned international scholars of anthropology, economics, law, management and political science—propose an interdisciplinary and comparative approach to social sciences. They analyse how international phenomena, such as globalisation or transnationalisation, transform the disciplines of social sciences from an epistemologic...
New Religious Movements in Modern Asian History
This book provides evidence that the emergence of Asian new religious movements (NRMs) was predominantly the result of anti-colonial ideology from local religious groups or individuals. The contributors argue that when traditional religions were powerless to maintain their cultural heritage, the leadership of NRMs adduced alternative principles, and the new teachings of each NRM attracted the local people enough for them to change their beliefs. The contributors argue that, as a whole, the Asian new religious movements overall were very ardent and progressive in transmitting their new ideologies. The varied viewpoints in this volume attest to the consistent development of Asian NRMs from domestic and international dimensions by replacing old, traditional religions.
The Changing World Religion Map
This extensive work explores the changing world of religions, faiths and practices. It discusses a broad range of issues and phenomena that are related to religion, including nature, ethics, secularization, gender and identity.

The book presents a vast array of examples to illustrate the changes that have taken place and have led to a new world map of religions. Beginning with an introduction of the concept of the “changing world religion map”, the book first focuses on nature, ethics and the environment. It examines humankind’s eternal search for th...
Religion (la)
«La religion est le propre de l’homme », «La religion est irrationnelle », «La religion est le rempart contre les peurs existentielles », «Pas de religion sans dieu », «Les religions sont des instruments du pouvoir », «La religion est un obstacle au développement », «Les religions poussent à la guerre », «On peut très bien vivre sans religion » ... En plein cœur des débats contemporains qui opposent « laïcs » et « religieux », Lionel Obadio, au travers de ses recherches sur le bouddhisme, les grands monothéismes et polythéismes, ainsi que sur le chamanisme et la sorcellerie, rappele ici que la religion est un fait humain complexe, aux fondements aussi universels que ses manifestations sont diversifiées.
