Bref échange entre Alain Caillé et Michael Singleton (missionnaire et anthropologue) autour de l'article de ce dernier, paru le 25 mars 2016 dans la Revue du Mauss permanente : « Cro-Magnon était-il croyant ? Le pré, le para et le postreligieux ». Tandis que Michael Singleton, dans cet article, affirme avec force n'avoir trouvé aucune trace de « religion » chez les peuples africains auprès desquels il a vécu et travaillé, Alain Caillé suggère que certains des traits relevés par l'ethnologue entrent en résonance avec sa propre théorie du religieux.

Er religion en privatsag? Op gennem det 20. århundrede har det været en klar opfattelse, at religion skal dyrkes inden for hjemmets fire vægge eller i kirkens hellige rum. Men faktum er, at vi konstant udstiller vores religiøse overbevisning ude i offentligheden. 'Religion i det offentlige rum' belyser gennem 13 bidrag, hvordan religion i allerhøjeste grad sætter en offentlig og politisk dagsorden i nutidens ellers så sekulariserede samfund. Religiøse ritualer bliver synlige for alle, når den pakistanske organisation Minhaj-ul-Quran holder fredsmarch for flere tusind deltagere med koranoplæsning og fællesbøn på Rådhuspladsen i København. Og når pinsegudstjenester rykker ud i det grønne, som det er blevet en tradition rundt om i landet. Bibelreferencer oplever vi i reklamer, når Philadelphia-smøreost sammenkædes med engle, og lampefirmaer markedsfører produkter under temaet 'Lad der blive lys'. Religion er også til diskussion, når for eksempel Immigrantmuseet og Københavns Bymuseum laver udstillinger om indvandring, og Folketinget og medierne sætter jævnligt tro til offentlig debat. Alligevel bekræfter vi ofte hinanden i, at religion er en privatsag, men som bogen viser, møder og forholder vi os til religion, hver gang vi bevæger os ud i det offentlige rum.

Ecofamilism proposes a new analytical framework, moving beyond ecofeminism, based on Western feminism and Christian theology, to illuminate Taiwanese women's motivations and how they understand their role in the environmental movement. Based on extensive interviews with women founders, leaders, and members of six non-governmental, often religious-based, organizations from 1990-2015, the work presents contemporary issues in Taiwan from the perspectives of social anthropology, geography, inter-religious cooperation, and global ethics. Ecofamilism offers a new way of approaching life in contemporary Asia, engaging more precisely with while authentically portraying the experiences of Taiwanese women-whose gender roles are ancillary to motivations of family, religion, and society. Its key concept of ecofamilism pairs the notions of ecology and family while drawing on Chinese religio-cultural traditions of responsibility to the family to illuminate ecologically responsible positions toward society, environment, and all living beings

Immigrants who came to Europe in recent decades (work immigrants and/or refugees) grapple with intersectional identities, such as religion, nationality and gender, yet current political research addresses these issues only in part. To address these omissions, I conducted a content analysis of all parliamentary questions Muslim representatives raised in their parliamentary activities in three Western countries. I also investigated whether the representatives' invisibility pertains only to their descriptive representation or whether it affects their substantive representation by analyzing five research hypotheses for differences in the content of the parliamentary questions. I found that male and female Muslim representatives ask parliamentary questions about Muslim men and women. In addition, I developed an Intersectional Representation Index to measure and demonstrate the complexities Muslim representatives face in Western countries. The index shows that such representatives have several identities, some of which have become invisible, as previous studies indicated.

This case study aims to explore the relationship between 'everyday religion' and prospects for urban sustainability in the context of on-going changes -in Kathmandu. It argues that everyday religion plays a role in furnishing the incentive for urban residents to sustainably manage 'culturalized nature' in the city. In particular, I examine water, the practices surrounding its use, and how these practices connect various social realms. I suggest that water in Kathmandu valley plays an important role as a connector encompassing life and death, religion and environment, as well as politics and development.

Die religiöse Landschaft der Schweiz ist im Wandel. Traditionelle Reli­gionsgemeinschaften erfahren einen Bedeutungsverlust, dem sie oft ohnmächtig gegenüberstehen. Zugleich entstehen immer neue religiöse Phänomene. In dieser Situ­ation konstruieren Menschen ihre Weltanschauungen mehr und mehr im Alleingang. Dies geschieht in einer Marktsituation, in der Reli­gionsgemeinschaften mit weiteren Sinnanbietern konkurrieren. Wer bestehen will, muss sich den He­rausforderungen und Anforderun­gen der Zeit stellen. Es gilt, das Bestehende zu überprüfen, Anpas­sungen vorzunehmen und Neues zu wagen. Dieses Buch präsentiert Einzelstim­men aus unterschiedlichen refor­mierten, römisch­katholischen, freikirchlichen und muslimischen Religionsgemeinschaften und Gruppierungen. So wird ein breites Spektrum an Standpunkten, Hand­lungsoptionen und Visionen sicht­bar: eine Anregung für die eigene Standortbestimmung und Hand­lungsorientierung in einer von Tra­ditionsabbruch und Individualisie­rung geprägten Zeit.

"Religion and religious ideas have played a fundamental role in the shaping of Asian history, society, and cultural practices. In this engaging and informative book, Thomas David DuBois sets out to explain how religious traditions and philosophies in China and Japan have evolved and intersected since the birth of Confucianism in China and the arrival of Buddhism in Japan. Crossing a broad terrain from Tokyo to Tibet, the book concentrates on the post-fourteenth century, when the long-lasting political dynasties that transformed the political, social, and economic institutions of both countries came into being. It is these connections that the author is keen to highlight, and he does so to effect by using key moments, such as the Taiping Uprising and the Boxer Rebellion, to underscore the importance of religion in transforming the course of Asian history. Contemporary chapters reflect on the wartime deification of the Japanese emperor, Marxism as religion, and the persecution of the Dalai Lama"--
