Dieser Band nimmt ein Thema auf, das gesellschaftlich und wissenschaftlich hohe Relevanz besitzt: Die Frage nach den Möglichkeiten und Grenzen des Zusammenlebens von Menschen unterschiedlicher Religion und Kultur in unserer Gesellschaft. Zwei Ebenen werden beachtet: Zum einen werden sozialwissenschaftliche Analysen zur gegenwärtigen Situation religiöser Pluralisierung vorgelegt. Zum anderen werden Konzeptionen von interreligiösem Dialog in der Theologie entfaltet mit innovativen Ansätzen für eine dialogische Theologie aus dem Hinduismus, Buddhismus, Judentum, Christentum und Islam. Die Publikation umfasst Beiträge, die ursprünglich im Rahmen öffentlicher Veranstaltungen gehalten und für diese Publikation überarbeitet worden sind. Das Buch ist thematisch im Bereich des internationalen Forschungsprojektes "ReDi" (Religion und Dialog in modernen Gesellschaften) der Akademie der Weltreligionen der Universität Hamburg angesiedelt und erbringt neue Forschungsergebnisse.

Denkanstöße zur Debatte, wie sich Europa gegenüber der Türkei verhalten könnte bzw. sollte, möchten die Autor/-innen (Journalisten, Historiker, Verleger) dieses Sammelbandes geben, der in Folge einer 2005 in Berlin veranstalteten Konferenz ("Modell Türkei") zusammengestellt wurde. Er versammelt versierte Stimmen aus der Türkei (u.a. Orhan Pamuk) und aus Deutschland (u.a. Cem Özdemir) zur Frage, wie sich die Türkei in eine pluralistische, demokratische Gesellschaft wandeln kann, ohne ihre religiöse Grundhaltung zu verlieren. Gut lesbare, die aktuelle Debatte zum Verhältnis Europa-Türkei bereichernde Texte für politisch interessierte Menschen.

"The authors of the present volume, Myth, Materiality, and Lived Religion, focus on the material dimension of Old Norse mythology and the role played by myths in everyday life. More broadly expressed, the collection looks at the social, ceremonial and material contexts of myths. This topic has been underexplored in previous research on Old Norse myths, despite its important theoretical implications. However, discussions around materiality, in a more general sense, have for a long time been significant for historians of religion, especially archaeologists. Myth, Materiality, and Lived Religion seeks to make the case for the relevance of materiality to literary historians and philologists as well.
Questions relating to the theme of materiality and lived religion are posed in this book, including:
• What do myths tell us about the material culture of the periods in which they were narrated?
• What role did myths or mythical beings play in connection to, for instance, illnesses and remedies during the Viking Period and the Middle Ages?
• How did ordinary people experience participation in a more formal sacrificial feast led by ritual specialists?
The editors of this book are all associated with the Department of Ethnology, History of Religions and Genders Studies at Stockholm University, Sweden."

Religion is a major aspect of human life that directly intersects with a number of social policy issues. Although much has been written about the religion-social policy nexus, the literature remains overly fragmented. Focusing primarily on Western Europe and North America, this review essay seeks to create a fruitful dialogue among the three main streams of research in the area, which respectively that focus on political parties, faith-based organisations, and individual behaviour. This essay has the goal of formulating a new, integrated agenda for future research on the religion and social policy nexus that also extends beyond Western societies.

"Freedom of religion is an issue of universal interest and scope. However, in the last two centuries at least, the philosophical, religious and legal terms of the question have been largely defined in the West. In an increasingly global world, widening our knowledge of this right's roots in different cultural and legal systems becomes a priority. This Handbook seeks to attain this goal through a better understanding of the historical roots and expressions of the right to freedom of religion on the one hand and, on the other, of its theological background in different religious traditions. History and theology provide the setting for the analysis of the politics of freedom of religion, that is, how this right is used in the context of the dialogue/confrontation between countries placed in different cultural regions of the world, and of the legal strategies and tools that have been developed and are employed to protect and foster the right to freedom of religion. Behind these legal and political strategies there is an ongoing debate about the nature of this right, whose main features are explored in the final section. Global, historical and interdisciplinary in approach, this book studies the new relevance of freedom of religion worldwide and develops suitable categories to analyze and understand the role that freedom of religion can play in managing religious and cultural diversity in our societies. Authored by experts, through the contributions collected in these chapters, scholars and students will be able to broaden and deepen their knowledge of the right to freedom of religion and to develop the ability to go beyond the borders of the different cultural environments in which this right took shape and developed.""--

Whether formally incorporated into curriculum and teacher training or informally integrated in contexts such as state or NGO initiatives dealing with resolving social, ethnic, and religious conflicts, peace education is increasingly recognized as a critical component in addressing violence in contemporary plural societies. Peace education can constructively undertake a reframing of historical narratives while inspiring practical community activities. An important, but insufficiently studied and theorized aspect of peace education is the role of religion. The challenge to peace education in today's globalized, diverse, mobile, and religiously pluralistic world is to be able to take both complex global and distinctive local situations into account. The contributions to this integrative collection of essays provide exactly these local and global perspectives on the state of peace education and its relationship to religion across pedagogy and curriculum, state policies, and activism within societies on the front lines of resolving internal conflicts, whether historical or recent, that often reflect aspects of religious identities.

Die Verfasserin legt Fallstudien auf dem Feld zwischen Religion und Rehabilitation vor. Ziel ist es, auf einen bestimmten gegenwärtigen Isomorphismus hinzuweisen - auf die Verbindung von Religion und rehabilitativer Hilfe und ihre Rolle beim Identifizieren und Einklammern von Bevölkerungsgruppen, die zu potenziellen Objekten von Überwachung und Kontrolle sowie der Einschreibung in die städtischen Geografien werden. Gegenstand der Fallstudien sind ein Gemeinschaftsterritorium in Beirut (Libanon; Rekonstruktionsprojekt nach dem Bürgerkrieg), die "Widows Relocation Company" in Dehli (Indien; Siedlung von Sikh-Witwen nach den Pogromen im Anschluss an die Ermordung Indira Gandhis) und Hilfssiedlungen in Ahmedabad (Indien; Übergriffe auf Muslims im Bundesstaat Gujarat). In jedem dieser Beispiele markiert die Religion den Körper sowohl des Anbieters als auch des Empfängers. (ICE2)
