The intellectual movement to interpret fascism, Nazism, and Stalinism as "political religions" has generated lively debates and an intensive publication program for over a decade. The scholarly trend has been closely associated with a revival of the concept of totalitarianism, reconfigured to account for the popular appeal and violent fervor of twentieth-century mass movements of the extreme right and left. As theoreticians of political religion have been preoccupied with arguments about the definition of religion and the problems of comparison, two stumbling blocks have become increasingly apparent. First, historians of Soviet communism, who since the early 1990s have empirically and conceptually transformed the study of Stalinism and Soviet history, have either exhibited "utter neglect" of the political-religion concept or have shunned it due to the scientism and official atheism of the regime. As a result, comparisons in the political-religion mode have generally been carried out by scholars not expert in Soviet history. Second, and closely related to this, even sympathetic critics have found secular religion too blunt a tool and too generic a concept to probe the "novel, supranational, but historically specific . . . sense of mission" produced by radical interwar regimes. Soviet communism as a project, more than fascism, was deeply invested in viewing its own ideology as genuinely scientific.
Angesiedelt im Überschneidungsbereich von Religionswissenschaft und Politikwissenschaft nimmt diese Fallstudie zur Zeitschrift "Die Fontäne" das mediale Engagement muslimischer MedienmacherInnen in den Blick. Auf diese Weise werden zwei Segmente der Zivilgesellschaftsforschung zusammengeführt, die bislang getrennt voneinander betrachtet wurden; nämlich: Zivilgesellschaft & Religion sowie Zivilgesellschaft & Medien. Anhand der religionswissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung mit den in dieser Zeitschrift stattfindenden Verhältnisbestimmungen von Wissenschaft und Religion wird aufgezeigt, auf welche Weise die AutorInnen der Zeitschrift "Die Fontäne" (islamische) Religion in der Lebenswirklichkeit der deutschen Gesellschaft verorten. Somit versteht sich diese Untersuchung zugleich als ein religionswissenschaftlicher Beitrag zur Erforschung der neuesten deutschen Religionsgeschichte und ist Teil des noch jungen Forschungsfelds Religionspolitologie.

Reflexiona sobre la incidencia que tiene que la enseñanza de la religión entre en la escuela pública. La jerarquía católica pide que exista una enseñanza confesional de la religión que puede variar en función de las convicciones del alumnado. Esta petición no tiene en cuenta dos cosas importantes: la experiencia histórica española que demuestra como el desarrollo confesional de la religión en tiempo de franco resultó un híbrido en el que se confundía lo religioso y lo político; y la situación que debe existir en una democracia. ; Cataluña ; ESP

This article contributes to the growing subfield of research on religion and International Relations (IR) by discussing ways to take substantial and sui generis aspects of religion into account. It is argued that IR scholars need more critical methodological and conceptual reflection on how to integrate religion in order to navigate between two typical analytical positions: either focusing on the instrumental relevance of religion only or treating religion as an unchangeable meta-category and delinking it from its practitioners or context. The article first discusses why there is a need to be attentive to distinctive aspects of religion and then moves on to scrutinise three IR-relevant pathways to include these aspects of religion in analysis, namely religion as belief community, religion as power, and religion as speech act. It appears that future research along these lines can contribute significantly to the way IR scholars habitually think about key issues such as parameters of behaviour, standards of legitimacy, and the dynamics of conflicts.
