Talking Dialogue
Throughout the last two decades, the modern dialogue movement has gained worldwide significance. The knowledge about its origins is, however, still very limited. This book presents a wide range of insights from eleven case studies into the early history of several important international interreligious/interfaith dialogue organizations that have shaped the modern development of interreligious dialogue from the late nineteenth century up to the present. Based on new archival research, they describe, on the one hand, how these actors put their ideals into practice and, on the other, how they faced many challenges as pioneers in the establishment of new interreligious/interfaith organizational ...
Performing Atheist Selves in Digital Publics
This book considers how the non-religious self is performed publicly online, and how digital culture and technology shapes this process. Building on a YouTube case study with women vloggers, it presents unique empirical data on non-organized atheism in the United States. Lundmark suggests that the atheist self as performed online exists in tension between a perception of atheism as sinful and amoral in relation to hegemonical Christianity in the U.S., and the hyperrational, male-centered discourse that has characterized the atheist movement. She argues that women atheist vloggers co-effect third spaces of emotive resonance that enable a precarious counterpublicness of performing atheist visibility. The volume offers a valuable contribution to the discussion of how the public, the private, and areas in-between are understood within digital religion, and opens up new space for engaging with the increased visibility of atheist identity in a mediatized society.
Crocodiles, Masks and Madonnas
This dissertation examines mission museums established by Catholic mission congregations in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland from the 1890s onwards. The aim is to provide the first extensive study on these museums in a way that contributes to current blind spots in mission history, and the history of anthropology and museology. In this study I use Angela Jannelli's concept of small-scale and amateurish museums to create a framework in order to characterise the museums. The dissertation focuses on the missionaries and their global networks, their "collecting" in the mission fields overseas, and the "collected" objects, by looking at primary sources from mission congregations' archives. In th...
Hoarding New Guinea
Hoarding New Guinea provides a new cultural history of colonialism that pays close attention to the millions of Indigenous artifacts that serve as witnesses to Europe's colonial past in ethnographic museums. Rainer F. Buschmann investigates the roughly two hundred thousand artifacts extracted from the colony of German New Guinea from 1870 to 1920. Reversing the typical trajectories that place ethnographic museums at the center of the analysis, he concludes that museum interests in material culture alone cannot account for the large quantities of extracted artifacts. Buschmann moves beyond the easy definition of artifacts as trophies of colonial defeat or religious conversion, instead employi...
Religion in Museums
This is the first volume to take a broad survey of how museums address religion as well as religious objects, and charts a course for future research and interpretation. The book lies at the intersection of the growth of museum attendance and the increasing social and geopolitical complexity of religion. Most museums throughout the world - whether art, archaeology, anthropology or history museums - include religious objects, and an increasing number are beginning to address religion. Bringing together scholars and practitioners from North America, Europe, Russia and Australia, the volume explores the work of museums from a cultural studies perspective, as well as the contribution of museums ...
Schweizerische Zeitschrift für Religions- und Kulturgeschichte
Der Themenschwerpunkt richtet verschiedene Schlaglichter auf das Verhältnis von Religion und Wirtschaft. Es sollen Dimensionen eines komplexen Verschränkungsfeldes in zeitlich transversaler Perspektive sichtbar gemacht werden, die Potential für die künftige Forschung besitzen. Schwerpunkte liegen auf Institutionen und Akteuren sowie auf ökonomischen, theologischen, religiös-sozialen und wirtschaftsethischen Denkmustern und Kontroversen. This year's edition of the SZRKG focuses on the relation of religion and economy, highlighting in a perspective of longue durée dimensions of this complex entanglement with potential for further research. The core areas of the volume are institutions, agents and economic, theological, social and ethical paradigms and controversies.
Politique africaine N-165
Comment les chefs d’État africains, les grands commis de l’État ou les militants politiques ont-ils envisagé le rôle politique du patrimoine en Afrique et dans les diasporas ? De quelles façons ont-ils agi sur les significations attribuées aux objets et sur leurs parcours ? Comment les pratiques populaires informent, infléchissent ou réfutent ces conceptions ? Les contributions ici réunies dénaturalisent et questionnent le sens accordé à des objets très célèbres ou méconnus – pièces de musée, cadeaux diplomatiques, sorties de masques, bobines filmiques ou objets coutumiers. Elles s’intéressent aux négociations à l’oeuvre, aux tensions qui influent sur leurs traitements ou leurs trajectoires, souvent transnationales, en faisant place aux demandes et aux enjeux des restitutions. Elles interrogent l’investissement politique – notamment genré – des objets, au-delà des seules institutions muséales, dans leurs circulations et leurs usages, au sein d’arènes variées, depuis le XVIIIe siècle jusqu’à nos jours.
Missionsgeschichtliche Sammlungen heute
Missionssammlungen stehen im Fokus des öffentlichen und wissenschaftlichen Interesses. Sie gelten als Teil der umstrittenen Kulturgeschichte Europas, als Kontaktzonen oder als Erinnerungs- und Lernorte. Gleichzeitig sind viele Sammlungen in ihrem Bestand akut gefährdet, weil ihre Träger keine Mittel zum Erhalt haben oder sich in absehbarer Zeit auflösen. Die Beiträger*innen reflektieren die Herausforderungen und Chancen des Erhalts und der Erforschung dieser Sammlungen aus kultur- und religionswissenschaftlicher, historischer, kunstwissenschaftlicher und theologischer Perspektive und diskutieren Modelle für den zukünftigen Umgang mit kulturellem Erbe.
Die Bekehrung der Welt
«Machet zu Jüngern alle Völker!» Das Zeitalter der Entdeckungen und Eroberungen bescherte dem «Missionsbefehl» Jesu eine völlig neue Schubkraft. Der Religionshistoriker Bernhard Maier beschreibt eindrucksvoll, wie christliche Missionare von der spanischen Conquista über die Zeit der Kolonialreiche bis zur Entkolonialisierung Kulturen und Religionen auf der ganzen Welt transformierten – und nicht zuletzt auch das Christentum selbst. Seine souveräne Geschichte der weltweiten Mission bietet einen einzigartigen Schlüssel, um die Globalisierung der Kulturen in der Neuzeit besser zu verstehen. Im Frühjahr 1493 bestätigte Papst Alexander VI. das Anrecht der spanischen Könige auf die ...
General Principles for Business and Human Rights in International Law
In General Principles for Business and Human Rights in International Law Ludovica Chiussi Curzi offers an overview of the relevance of general principles of law in the multifaceted discourse on business and human rights. What are the implications of the state duty to protect human rights in good faith and to guarantee victims of corporate human rights violations access to justice? Can general principles of law, such as abuse of rights, due diligence, and estoppel provide a source of obligations for companies that is relevant to human rights protection? Has an autonomous principle on corporate liability developed in international law? These are the questions at the core of this monograph, which seeks the answers in the normative foundations of public international law.
