El articulo describe las actividades de los principales televangelistas, que son correlativas a las praticas habituales del negocio audiovisual, y examina las repercussiones éticas y téologicas del fenómeno.

Numerous studies highlight the fact that men and women coming from similar social backgrounds tend to have similar religious attitudes and behavior. This fact puts into question the claim that women have a priviledged relationship - usually described with negative overtones - with religion. However, a thorough study of available data raises questions about the linear nature of the homogeneization of religious attitudes according to gender. Indeed, among existing religious measures there are small but recurrent discrepencies, in particular in the fields of the transmission of a religious tradition and of the individual recomposition of religion. Men and women have varying attitudes that illustrate the persistence of a difference linked to gender. It is therefore necessary to study closely the process of socialization according to gender and its effects on the construction of a feminine identity. In these fields, comparative studies higlight a contrasted evolution according to gender, which influences the very concept of equality. They allow us to illustrate two processes of adaptation to modernity which are part of social and cultural changes. Religion thus seems ambivalent. On the one hand by reinforcing the traditional woman/mother model, it proves to be resilient to modernity; on the other hand, as an available ressource it may favor the search for original solutions to confront/manage modernity, in particular for women.

This book is the outcome of a major conference held by 'Omnes Gentes' on the thematic religion, violence, and peacebuilding, celebrating the 100 years of the publication of 'Quod Iam Diu', the Encyclical of Pope Benedict XV 'On the Future Peace Conference' issued on 1st December, 1918. Authors from all continents have provided articles from their field of research and their context to illustrate the importance of religious insights and actions to promote peace in difficult times. Academics, ecclesiastical leaders, pastoral workers, and researchers from around the world, who are involved directly in the work of peacebuilding, shed light on specific contexts, historical perspective and actions, as well as inspiring prospects for the future. 'Omnes Gentes' is a collaboration of the Faculties of Theology of KU Leuven and UCLouvain, 'Lumen Vitae', and Missio-Belgium

Reprint in bilingual English-Albanian book-length format by AIIS Press, Tirana, 2001. ; International audience ; "Within the theme of Balkan identities and nationalist constructions Albert Doja offers us in this paper a long-term historical perspective on the roots of Albanian ethnicity and the relationship between religious conversion and national affirmation. In a fascinating exploration of a little known cultural history, Doja suggests that some parallels can be drawn between the conversion to Islam of Albanians under pressure from Slav and Greek influences in the Balkan Orthodox Churches and the conversion of Bosnians similarly situated between Orthodox Serbia and Catholic Croatia, while discussing what is specific to the 'hibernation in history' of the collective identity of one of the last nationalities to appear in Europe." (Editorial, Critique of Anthropology). ; Pour apprécier la réelle signification historique des processus successifs de conversion et de re-conversion, parmi des Albanais et d'autres populations sud-est européennes, et les soumettre à une analyse anthropologique plus effective, cet article soutient qu'ils doivent être compris en termes de la dynamique d'objectivation et de résistance contre des pressions exercées par les autorités du pouvoir politique et religieux. Cette approche permet de mettre la signification des appartenances religieuses dans la perspective de négociation et de redéfinition des identités sociales, conduisant à une transformation de l'identité et de l'ethnicité albanaise et à un rétablissement des traditions d'histoire politique, sociale et nationale.
