This edited collection explores forms of multi-religious cohabitation as well as the spatial arrangements that underpin and shape them through sixteen chapters that range across disciplines, historical periods, and global geographies. Focusing on interactions between different religious groups and traditions, the authors conceptualize three types of spatial arrangements and explore how they operate ad geographies of encounter; i.e., multi-religious places, multi-religious cities, and multi-religious landscapes. With perspectives from anthropologists, historians, sociologists, and geographers, the book demonstrates the multiple ways in which geographies of interreligious encounters and forms of multi-religious cohabitation have changed throughout history due to their embeddedness id different frameworks of political organization, shifting religious ideologies, and changing forms of human mobility.
Religious Change and Continuity Across Generations: Passing on Faith in Families of Six European and North American Nations brings together scholars of religious studies, secularism, and family science to examine how religion is passed down the generations in six European and North American nations. Taking a social change perspective within the context of family socialization theory, the authors treat intergenerational change and continuity in religion and spirituality as occurring under specific national and historical conditions. As such, they consider the social forces that variously reinforce or inhibit transmission of religiosity across successive generations within families. The volume...

In a rapidly changing world, in which religious identities emerge as crucial fault lines in political and public discourse, this volume brings together multiple disciplinary perspectives in order to investigate shifting conceptions of, and commitments to, the ideals of religious pluralism. Spanning theology, sociology, politics and anthropology, the chapters explore various approaches to coexistence, political visions of managing diversity and lived experiences of multireligiosity, in order to examine how modes of religious pluralism are being constructed and contested in different parts of the world. Contributing authors analyse challenges to religious pluralism, as well as innovative kinds of conviviality, that produce meaningful engagements with diversity and shared community life across different social, political and economic settings. This book will be relevant to scholars of religion, community life, social change and politics, and will also be of interest to civil society organisations, NGOs, international agencies and local, regional and national policymakers.
Italy, seat of the Pope and Vatican City, has a long and difficult relationship with religious freedom. Often identified as a Catholic nation par excellence, Italy owes its unification to a political class that advocated the separation of Church and State. Home of the Concordat, contemporary Italy recognises a peculiar notion of legal secularism (laicità) as the supreme principle of its constitutional order. Through the glasses of law, tracing the history of the right to religious freedom from the Unification to the present day, the nine chapters of the book allow an insight on paradoxes and contradictions of a complex system made of unresolved stratifications where a strong constitutional recognition of religious freedom is accompanied by a weak legislative protection of religious pluralism and, at the same time, a vigorous religious agency in the public space. Religious freedom in Italy offers an interpretation of a model of religious freedom that is not only a paradigm for many European experiences but also a possible interpretative parameter to better understand the dynamics of religious freedom between the two shores of the Mediterranean.

Although its beginnings can be traced back to the late 19th century, the interfaith movement has only recently begun to attract mainstream attention, with governments, religious leaders and grassroots activists around the world increasingly turning to interfaith dialogue and collective action to address the challenges posed and explore the opportunities presented by religious diversity in a globalising world. This volume explores the history and development of the interfaith movement by engaging with new theoretical perspectives and a diverse range of case studies from around the world. The first book to bring together experts in the fields of religion, politics and social movement theory to offer an in-depth social analysis of the interfaith movement, it not only sheds new light on the movement itself, but challenges the longstanding academic division of labour that confines ‘religious’ and ‘social’ movements to separate spheres of inquiry.
L'attuale realtà sociale ed educativa è indubbiamente molto complessa e le trasformazioni, che da sempre connotano questa età di frontiera, non riguardano più solo il corpo, ma le relazioni e le percezioni dei riferimenti famigliari e sociali. Nell'adolescenza cambia il linguaggio, fortemente connotato ed influenzato oggi dai social network, si polarizzano i comportamenti avvicinandosi pericolosamente ai margini della devianza, si scopre il proprio corpo in evoluzione: un corpo difficile da accettare, talvolta da punire attraverso il cibo, ma anche un corpo da amare nell'avvicinamento alla sessualità.
Che cos'è davvero la cancel culture? Quali sono le origini di quest'espressione, ormai diffusissima, e quali le sue caratteristiche? Dove e come è nata, e cosa è successo quando è arrivata in Italia? Il volume prova a rispondere a queste domande, illustrando il modo in cui il tema della cancel culture è stato declinato nel dibattito pubblico italiano distinguendo tra pratiche, etichettamento e effetti politici. Attraverso un'analisi di post pubblicati sui social media dai principali quotidiani e attori politici italiani, il volume mostra che la cancel culture è un "epifenomeno", che esiste nella misura in cui viene narrato, attorno al quale, però, si gioca una partita per il diritto di parola (e di censura). Sebbene, infatti, in Italia la cancel culture sia un prodotto prettamente giornalistico, la sua narrazione, intersecandosi con il preesistente dibattito attorno alla cosiddetta "ideologia gender", ha determinato inedite alleanze politiche e inattesi effetti di realtà, tra cui l'affossamento del disegno di legge Zan.
