Apresentação de seminário para o professor Glauco Barsalini na disciplina de "Ciências da Religião e Fenômeno Religioso", no programa de mestrado em Ciências da Religião da PUC Campinas. Trabalho realizado sobre o quarto capítulo do livro "O Dossel Sagrado" de Peter Berger, intitulado "Religião e Alienação", pelo discente Tiago de Melo Novais.

El libro busca establecer referentes contemporáneos sobre el derecho a la libertad religiosa a nivel nacional e internacional. En él se reflexiona sobre la concepción del derecho en la DUDH, su reconocimiento en México antes y después de las reformas de 2011 y 2013, la importancia de la libertad religiosa como un factor generador de capital social y de entornos pacíficos y los retos relacionados con su seguimiento.

Esta es una obra colectiva  coordinada por Ana Ramírez y Francisco Porras. Financiada por la Conferencia de Obispos de los Estados Unidos y publicada por el Centro de Investigación Social Avanzada (CISAV)

Les textes réunis dans ce volume visent l’histoire du visage dans tous ses états et enjeux: sociaux, politiques, religieux, artistiques, scientifiques. Ce qui est en question est le visage humain, mais aussi divin, céleste, individuel et collectif. Les questions posées se fondent sur l’examen de textes qui relèvent aussi bien de la tradition scientifique que de l’exégèse doctrinale et littéraire du Moyen Âge, sans oublier la représentation en deux ou en trois dimensions. L’«éloquence du visage» étant un sujet qui embrasse toutes les sociétés et les civilisations, le regard des auteurs ne s’est pas limité à l’Occident latin médiéval, qui demeure le terrain privilégié de notre enquête, mais a intégré des régions historiques aussi diverses que la Syrie, la Géorgie et la Rus’, pour arriver au Japon pré-moderne.

Names Izanagi and Izanami are recorded by completely meaningless combinations of kanji; existing interpretations of these names are folk etymologies, i.e.: it means that Izanagi and Izanami seem not to be words of Japanese origin. Izanagi and Izanami belong to the little amount of kami who form spouse pairs: there is about 6% of such kami in first scroll of Nihon Shoki, such type of kami is rather widely represented in Ainu folklore. Ending gi in Izanagi correlates with ending kur used in male names of Ainu kamuy/heroes ending mi in Izanami correlates with ending mat used in female names of Ainu kamuy/heroes. Component izana seems to have originated from ancient Ainu form: *'iso-ne that means " to be bearful " , " to be lucky in hunting " , " to be rich " ; and thus, initial forms of Izanagi was *'Iso-ne-kwr " Bearful man " and initial form of Izanami was *'Iso-ne-mat " Bearful woman " .

The mosque occupies a central position in the social as well as religious life of Muslims. It is not only a place of worship where rites are performed, but also serves as a social place where Muslims take part in welfare activities. The design and architecture of the mosque have local as well as global impacts, representing religious, economic, and aesthetic dimensions of Muslim social organization. Generally, the mosque architecture has three notable things: domes, arches and minarets. There are very few examples of mosques which lack any one or all of these architectural features, but still they are maintaining the Muslims' traditional values. In this case-study, the Shah Faisal Mosque of Pakistan has been discussed in detail. This mosque is a dome-less building and is one of the best examples of modern Muslim architecture. This paper discusses the development of innovative architectural and design elements of the mosque and their benefit to the various functions in terms of space planning, proportion and aesthetics. A descriptive analysis is also performed to assess the effectiveness of the cultural and religious role being played by the mosque at national and global level.

Fuentes primarias de siglo XVI y XVII nos hacen sospechar que entre la Sicilia virreinal y el Atlántico de los felipes (1580-1640) se haya forjado un modelo franciscano de santidad en el "negro y esclavo" Benedetto Manasseri (1524-1589): ¿una religión para los africanos reducidos a esclavitud en las colonias de América?

Abstract: The practice of witchery and sorcery is a theme which awakens both curiosity and astonishment of a large amount of Brazil's population. When matters such as witchery and paganism are depicted in movies, books and TV series, a certain mobilization and inspiration occur among members of the (neo) Pagan movement. However, the means of communication possesses a relevant social role, considering their impact by producing subjectivity in people.

Resumen. En el mundo contemporáneo un rasgo que caracteriza la cultura de sus habitantes es la movilidad territorial, que provoca que las culturas, y entre ellas las religiones, modifiquen sus modos de arraigo, desdibujado y haciendo flexibles las raíces territoriales, y revalorando la unidad corporal como el locus privilegiado de anclaje de la experiencia religiosa. Un fenómeno en boga es la translocalizaci-ón y la relocalización de las religiosidades tradicionales. La comprensión de esta dinámica exige revisar los postulados conceptuales sobre experiencia religiosa, cuerpo, ritual y espacio. Palabras-clave: Globalización, pentecostalismo, esoterismo, nativismos, New Age y religiones seculares. abstract. A characteristic in the contemporary world culture is territorial mobility which causes, within and among cultures, that religions modify their ways of being implanted by fading and making flexible their territorial roots and thus, reassessing the corporal unit as the privileged locus of religious experience. A modern phenomenon is translocalization and relocalization of traditional religions. Comprehension of these dynamics demands us to review the conceptual postulates of religious experience, body, ritual and space. La religiosidad popular latinoamericana se encuentra hoy dinamizada por las movilidades que día a día producen nuevos contactos entre culturas cada vez más distantes. Estas movilidades, están mediadas por los efectos

Artykuł poświęcony jest charakterystyce rozumienia religii przez Williama Jamesa oraz ukazaniu logicznych konsekwencji wynikających z tego rozumienia. Przedmiot analizy stanowi także problematyczność postrzegania religii jako formy osobistej relacji z transcendencją, opartej na intuicyjnie pojmowanym związku z „czymś większym” od świata rzeczywistego; religii której głównym celem jest sprawianie, byśmy żyli „prawdziwym życiem”.

The debate regarding the applicability of the secularization thesis needs to make a sharp distinction between the context in which it was created and the grounds for its validity. The aim of this essay is to find empirically and theoretically wellfounded arguments against the secularization theory and to examine whether they are justified or not. But before announcing one's intention of criticizing the secularization theory, one needs to know what it actually says. Frequently an abridged, unilateral concept of the theory is used enabling one to dissociate oneself from it critically. Therefore, this essay starts with a brief presentation of the main presumptions of the secularization theory, goes on to list the major points of criticism before ending with a discussion of their justification.

Pretende-se abordar a mobilização da Igreja Católica no Brasil em torno das questões ambientais e as contraofensivas organizadas (também oriundas do próprio campo religioso católico) que esse engajamento vem suscitando no atual cenário nacional, marcado pela ascensão conservadora. A análise é feita a partir de três eixos principais: 1) o do âmbito católico oficial – o ativismo de sacerdotes brasileiros que procuram incentivar teologicamente a adesão dos fiéis ao ativismo ambientalista; 2) o do âmbito católico extraoficial simpático à pauta ambiental, mas que atua fora da esfera de influência institucional da Igreja Católica no Brasil – sendo representado aqui sobretudo pelo ativismo de Leonardo Boff; 3) o do âmbito católico extraoficial avesso à onda verde – que tem como expoente no cenário nacional o famigerado Instituto Plinio de Oliveira (IPCO), uma espécie de think tank do conservadorismo católico brasileiro.

Práticas de magia e bruxaria são temas que despertam tanto curiosidade, quanto estranhamento em grande parte da população brasileira. Quando assuntos como bruxaria e paganismo são retratados em filmes, livros e séries de televisão, observa-se que há certa mobilização e inspiração para muitos adeptos do movimento (neo) Pagão. No entanto, os meios de comunicação e entretenimento possuem papel social relevante, uma vez que produzem subjetividade na população. Nesse sentido, a cultura pop pode ser compreendida de forma ambígua, já que, quando assuntos abordados são referentes a essas temáticas, possuem papel tanto de popularizar o conhecimento comum em relação a temáticas específicas, a exemplo, religiões pagãs, magias e bruxaria, como também podem reafirmar um imaginário que foi construído historicamente e, assim, acabam por reproduzir “verdades” equivocadas e estereotipadas.

Ripples of the Universe is an ethnographic study of the spiritual community in Sedona, Arizona. A small city with roughly 10,000 inhabitants, Sedona is both a luxury holiday destination and a spiritual tourist attraction which draws a constant stream of transient seekers. Anthropologist Susannah Crockford spent two years living in Sedona, and this volume is her analysis of Sedona’s spiritual community. Significantly, Crockford’s time in Sedona coincided with the end of the Mayan Long Count Calendar in December 2012, which was an important and auspicious date for New Agers - believed at the time to denote either the literal end of the world or a major spiritual transformation. This makes the study particularly well timed in terms of exploring themes of apocalypticism and millennialism; subjects that, almost a decade later in the time of COVID-19, are still as relevant as ever. Ripples of the Universe also illuminates some of the historical foundations of current spiritual trends; in particular, the increasing monetisation of spiritual influence (amplified by social media and the ever intensifying digital landscape) and conspirituality, a politico-spiritual philosophy based on the overlap between conspiracy theories and spirituality.

Analiza zagadnień poruszanych na łamach "Gazety Ludowej. Tygodnika Ilustrowanego" między 1915 a 1918 r. Drukowane teksty dotyczyły m. in. zniszczeń wojennych w diecezji chełmskiej, skutków przeprowadzenia ewakuacji ludności cywilnej z guberni chełmskiej i lubelskiej przez administrację i wojsko rosyjskie w 1915 r., początków procesu rewindykacji cerkwi przez Kościół Rzymsko-katolicki, prób prowadzenia lokalnych misji przez zakon jezuitów i duchowieństwo grecko-katolickie. Tekst omawia skutki uchodźstwa ludności cywilnej podczas I wojny światowej na terenie Chełmszczyzny i południowego Podlasia.

This essay offers a postcolonial reading of the Wisdom of Solomon in order to explore the processes of self-identification and self-validation within Alexandrian Diaspora Judaism. It focuses on the various ways that “us” and “them” are constructed, especially the way that each group is related to power. It concludes that the Wisdom of Solomon promotes a paradigm in which the universality and binary opposition that characterize empire are paradoxically transferred from a horizontal to a vertical plane, and that this shows both the usefulness and limits of a postcolonial reading for Wisdom.

Mendiskusikan toleransi bagi penulis sendiri, yang dalam hal ini bukanlah penggagum esai-esai bergenre populer (kekinian), aktivitas menulis toleransi justru sudah menjadi kebutuhan sebagai penggiat yang prihatin dengan isu-isu kemanusiaan, meskipun hambatan pasang surut datang silih berganti mengiringi penulis yang hanya ingin menyumbang bagi proses dan perbaikan kehidupan beragama, khususnya kelompok rentan atau minoritas di Indonesia. Kelompok minoritas yang dimaksud penulis, kelompok agama (minoritas) yang dalam kenyataan sosiologisnya ada di dalam keberagaman kehidupan bermasyarakat, keberadaan mereka sebagai sesuatu fakta yang sesunggunya riil seringkali diperhadapkan dengan pendapat-perndapat yang bersifat linier, antinomi dan tertutup, singkatnya disebut ideologi takhfiri, konsekuensi logis dalam masyarakat yang demokratis, tidak seharusnya diperkenankan ideologi ini hadir bahkan berkembang dalam ruang-ruang diskursus publik yang selalu disesaki perbedaan pendapat, keniscayaan perbedaan pendapat ini akan selalu hadir dalam diskusi lintas generasi, sehingga perlu menghadirkan suatu kondisi di mana masing-masing pihak berada pada posisi asali, posisi yang bebas dari keuntungan-keuntungan lahiriah (tradisi) baik berupa keistimewaan kedudukan status sosial maupun ekonomi. Posisi asali sendiri menjadi prasyarat kondisi bagi berjalannya proses diskusi yang setara, tanpa kompromi maupun hegemoni sehingga mampu menghadirkan konsensus yang fair dan disepakati bersama. Mengelola kehidupan beragama sendiri, dalam tesis Rawls disebut kebebasan atas suara hati, menempati kedudukan yang sangat tinggi ketimbang kebebasan-kebebasan lainnya bahkan kebebasan berpartisipasi (politik) sekalipun, kebebasan suara hati tidak diperkenankan menjadi kebebasan yang boleh dimasuki oleh siapa pun, apalagi diintervensi, bahkan oleh dominasi kekuatan negara sekalipun, negara justru harus menjamin kondisi terwujudnya kebebasan atas suara hati ini. Kebebasan suara hati dalam suatu sistem kebebasan secara menyeluruh termasuk kebebasan partisipasi, berpikir, berserikat dan kebebasan lainnya tidak boleh saling dipertukarkan, artinya negara sebagai pengambil kebijakan dilarang memberikan jaminan kebebasan yang tinggi terhadap salah satu kebebasan dengan mengurangi kebebasan yang lain, memaknai suatu kebebasan sebagai satu sistem yang undivided (satu kesatuan), interdependency (saling bergantung), dan interrelated (saling berkaitan). Bagaimana mengelola mayoritas vis a vis minoritas? mayoritas dalam rezim demokrasi merupakan keniscayaan yang hadir dalam setiap pengambilan keputusan, keputusan diambil demi kepentingan umum dan keteraturan, penulis setuju dengan pengambilan keputusan yang ditujukan demi kepentingan umum, namun kepentingan umum tidaklah lebih unggul dari kebebasan religius, negara sebagai sebuah perkumpulan yang berisi warga-warga yang setara, sudah seharusnya melalui kekuasaannya memuaskan tuntutan-tuntutan konsepsi publik. Hak pemerintah untuk menegakkan keteraturan publik sepanjang menjamin kondisi-kondisi yang adil bagi setiap warga untuk menjalankan kebebasan religiusnya (forum internum), hak pemerintah untuk memberikan batasan terhadap kebebasan berkeyakinan ketika ada dugaan yang masuk akal bahwa jikalau tidak melakukannya maka hal itu akan menghancurkan keteraturan publik (forum externum). Memaknai toleransi kehidupan beragama sendiri, penulis menyitir dari pendapat Rawls yang bagi penulis rasakan sangat tepat dalam premis-premisnya bagaimana kebebasan yang setara dalam berkeyakinan (kebebasan atas suara hati) merupakan kebebasan yang paling fundamental, bahkan dianggap jauh lebih penting ketimbang kebebasan poltik (kebebasan berpartisipasi politik), berbanding terbalik dengan praktik kebebasan di Indonesia, bagaimana kebebasan berpatisipasi lebih penting ketimbang kebebasan berkeyakinan, singkatnya demikian ketika mengingat beberapa kasus intoleransi yang telah terjadi dengan menggunakan sentimen-sentimen SARA demi memenangkan suatu kontestasi politik, kasus

This panel seeks to trace the connections between dreaming and the world of the invisible from comparative and multidisciplinary perspectives. Dreams have long been studied in anthropology, and among historians, archaeologists and scholars of literature there has been increased recognition of dream studies in recognition of the social and religious dynamics produced during the dream-time. The objective is to foster an international discussion to develop tools for analyzing how individuals experience everyday religiosity in Africa, and about ways of sensing invisible spirits and the divine, especially in "conversion dreams" and in "inspirational" or creative dreams. Following recent scholarly moves (Soares 2006, 2016), the aim is to challenge scholarship that presents different religions as separate blocs and does not study them within a common analytical frame. Dreams of the Prophet Muhammad, Jesus, the Qur'an, and the Bible could all shed light on African encounters with various Others in different settings.

Meditation is touted as a magical "cure all" with only benefits by a variety of voices in both religious and secular circles. But could meditation and mindfulness have any adverse effects? Are there possible bumps in the road when taking a religious practice and putting it into a secular context?
