"Religious Regulation in Muslim States" published on by Oxford University Press.

Der Beitrag skizziert zunächst das föderale System der Schweiz und die historischen Auswirkungen, die sich daraus für die religiöse Bildung und den Religionsunterricht ergeben haben. Nach kurzen methodologischen Anmerkungen zeigt der Beitrag, dass dieses Schulfach in der Schweiz seit den 1980er Jahren im Zentrum zahlreicher Diskussionen, verteilt im ganzen Land, gestanden hat, die sich durch ähnliche Argumentationsfiguren auszeichnen und zu ähnlichen Reformen geführt haben. Ein Überblick über die Debatten und Reformen bildet die Grundlage für den nächsten Abschnitt, in dem die Auswirkungen der Neugestaltung der religiösen Bildung auf die Religionsgemeinschaften dargestellt wird. Der Beitrag geht schließlich auf die Einstellungen und Haltungen der Religionsgemeinschaften ein und zieht abschließend Schlussfolgerungen bezüglich der Partizipation von Religionsgemeinschaften im öffentlichen Sektor.

"Religious Regulation in the United States" published on by Oxford University Press.

Explores the interplay of gender & religious community in Bijnor, India, where "Hindu" & "Muslim" are not just religious identities, but also distinct social & political categories. The articulation of communal harmony is described, along with the reality that communalism is not only thriving; it is institutionalized in ways that impact the Hindu minority's access to important resources & has occasionally erupted into violent conflict. Communal differences in dress, diet, & customs are described, along with social & political processes that hinder Muslim women more than their Hindu counterparts. Stereotypes that strengthen everyday sexism & communalism are explored, noting that both Muslim & Hindu women are expected to be subservient to men, not allowed to control economic resources, & told not to work outside the home. However, different identities of Muslim & Hindu women are essentialized in communalized rhetoric based on religious doctrine. Examples discussed include media images of Muslim women as victims of Islam, political manipulation of the Shah Bano case, & portrayals of Hindu women as torchbearers of tradition. 61 References. J.

Draws upon 20 years of fieldwork to examine the impact of globalization on labor migration & gender regimes in rural Guanajuato, Mexico, where large-scale capital-intensive agriculture dominates the economy. Land quality & the availability of irrigation affect gender regimes. The breadwinner model prevails in well-irrigated areas where large-scale agricultural operations have hired full-time workers at a sufficient wage to support wives/children. Areas that depend partly on irrigation & partly on rainfall still have small family farms with families sharing the labor. Men often travel to the US to supplement the meager farm earnings, & the women are left in charge of the household & farm. In poor, desolate areas that rely on rainfall, the men migrate to the US & often never return, leaving women as single heads of households responsible for all community duties, including political ones. It is concluded that labor migration patterns in Guanajuato illustrate how globalization in the form of imported mechanized agricultural methods & the demand for labor in the North have impacted traditional gender relations. 3 Maps.
