"Kultur umfasst alles, worauf sich ein System 'zu pflegen' verständigt hat. War in der Vergangenheit Kultur noch relativ stabil, so sieht sich vor allem die Unternehmenskultur einer zunehmenden Veränderungsdynamik ausgesetzt. Kultur basiert auf der Vergangenheit, aber die Strategie der Organisation richtet sich an die Zukunft. Wie kann in diesem Gegensatz überhaupt gehandelt und Kultur gestaltet werden? In dem vorliegenden Band diskutieren verschiedene Autorinnen und Autoren diesen Problembereich." (Autorenreferat).

The current issue of Approaching Religion is based on a summer school and conference arranged in Åbo/Turku, Finland, in June 2021, with the theme 'Religion and Cultural Change'. The event was organized jointly by the Polin Institute for Theological Research (Åbo Akademi University), the Centre for the Study of Christian Cultures (University of Turku), and the Donner Institute for Research in Religion and Culture. The aim was to bring together doctoral candidates and researchers from various academic fields who engage with the study of religion, such as theology, religious studies, history, philosophy, the arts, social and political sciences and so forth. This included presentations that engaged with the theme Religion and Cultural Change from both historical and contemporary perspectives, as well as looking to the future where possible. As conference organizers, we wanted to highlight cultural change both as dramatic breaking points in history and as slowly evolving transformations. Hence, the conference theme allowed us to address past, present and emerging trends and trajectories within culture, society and the scholarly community. The issue is financed and published by the Polin Institute for Theological Research at Åbo Akademi University, Finland: https://www.polininstitute.fi

Strategies for Cultural Change develops a conceptual framework for thinking about cultural change. Starting with a discussion of the vocabulary (the concepts) of cultural change, the book moves on to the grammar (the thinking structures), and finally the """"oral"""" practice (the applications) of cultural change in the organizational setting.
