El presente trabajo forma parte de una serie de reflexiones que el autor ha estado realizando a propósito del golpismo en Venezuela, hasta la actualidad. Éste se inscribe en un descontento político y económico, iniciado no sólo a partir del período presidencial vigente, sino muchos años atrás de los inicios de la llamada era "democrática", en 1958. Con esto se intenta ilustrar las ironías del juego político venezolano, y cómo resulta productivo tanto para la investigación antropológica, como para el cambio de paradigmas en pos de fructíferas transformaciones sociales. ; This work is part of some reflections that the author has been developing from the beginning of the coup era in Venezuela to the present time. This goes back to 1958, many years before the democratic era, and it leads to the current government. The article seeks to show the irony of the politic Venezuelan game; at the same time, it shows how it enriches anthropological research and also is productive for a change of paradigms while achieving some productive social transformations. ; Grupo de Investigación Antropología y Filosofía (SEJ-126).

The increasing vitality and variety of religious identities in Europe give rise to new claims and demands by religious minorities. This generates new challenges for the articulation of the religious and the secular in European democracies, which become especially salient in public institutions such as hospitals, prisons, and schools. This special issue focuses on public institutions with the aim to examine how state and religion encounter one another in contemporary Western societies. We take public institutions as privileged observatories for understanding the changing place of religion but also as laboratories in which new arrangements are experimented. The articles analyse the presence, regulation, and negotiation of religion and religious diversity in public institutions across Europe combining innovative empirical enquiries with theoretical and methodological reflections.

Gibt es Heil auch in anderen Religionen? Haben diese gar ein göttliches Mandat? Ausgangspunkt dieser religionstheologischen Suchbewegung ist die Einsicht: Gott handelt als "drei". Entsprechend werden in bewusst trinitätstheologischer Perspektive die Leitmotive Allwirksamkeit Gottes, Pneumatologie und Heilsgeschichte auf die Theologie der Religionen angewandt. Sie geben den Blick frei auf das mögliche Wirken Gottes im Bereich der Religionen und an Menschen anderen Glaubens. Die Resultate wiederum liefern praxisorientierte Impulse für die interreligiöse Begegnung in Kirche, Schule und Gesellschaft.

Abstract
Despite development of secular ideas and concepts in the Western world, we can observe increasing interest in the study of religion. However, this popularity of the study of religion and different research approaches has caused that in some sense scholars that were studying religion came to a dead point. Here I show that the most optimal research approach in the study of religion is pluralistic, integral paradigm which connects old traditional methods with naturalistic, cognitive and sometimes experimental approach.

Abstract
The issue reflects on concepts of law determined or impacted by various currents of Abrahamitic religious traditions. Major alternative approaches regarding the status of revelation as a source of law are being addressed. Two basic types of religious approach can be distinguished: one embracing the idea of divine revelation containing prescriptions which are to be connected to and implemented in human legal and political reasoning, and another one absconding the divine from earthly political and legal paradigms in order to permeate them with relativizing spirituality. The various contributions explore the historical development of relevant strands of religious thought as well as the way in which they articulate themselves in the present-day diversity of a secularized and globalized environment.

Das Verhältnis von Religion und Demokratie stellt eines der zentralen und aktuellen Problemfelder moderner pluralistischer Gesellschaften dar. Ulrich Krainz geht der Frage nach, welche Rolle der öffentlichen Schule und den dort stattfindenden Bildungsprozessen dabei zukommt und thematisiert zunächst die grundsätzliche politische Dimension von Religion. Praktisch realisiert sich diese in bestimmten Handlungsfeldern, wobei der Religionsunterricht besonders brisant erscheint. Dies wird am Beispiel des katholischen und islamischen Religionsunterrichts an öffentlichen Schulen in Österreich untersucht, der nach jeweils religiöser Zugehörigkeit getrennt durchgeführt wird. Die Studie ermöglicht einen Einblick in die Alltags- und Unterrichtspraxis, zeigt, welche Wert- und Moralvorstellungen Lehrkräfte haben und mit welchen Erfolgsaussichten sie diese zu vermitteln versuchen, und diskutiert die Kompatibilität dieser Vorgänge mit dem Aufbau demokratischer Grundorientierungen. Der Inhalt Verhältnis von Religion und Gesellschaft Schule, Religion und Demokratie Politische Bildung Die Zielgruppen Dozierende und Studierende der Sozialwissenschaft, Pädagogik, Bildungswissenschaft, Soziologie, Politikwissenschaft Lehrpersonen an Schulen (z.B.

This volume focuses on religion from a trans-cultural perspective. Its aim is to suggest new ways of seeing how religions might coexist peacefully within different societies of the 21st century. Can secular culture be the path to convince different religions to endorse a shared ideal of peaceful co-existence? The chapters take into consideration the socio-political implications of religions in Asian, African, Latin-American and European contexts. Joachim Küpper, Klaus W. Hempfer, and Erika Fischer-Lichte, FU Berlin, Germany.
