    Abstract: This study is about a popular manifestation of Islamic devotion that embraces a pluralist setting, keeping itself in a dynamic dialogue with non-Muslim practices. With evidence from various public devotional narratives and ritual practices, the author argues that even universal understanding of living Islam remains incomplete if we do not consider this locally produced pluralised devotional setting that surrounds it. He seeks to address various aspects of local and localised Islam through an examination of Gugudu's local and popular transformation of normative Islam, giving particular focus to the various devotional rituals that blend Muslim and Hindu practices in the public event of Muharram.

    Abstract: Amid the variety of human experiences, the comic occupies a distinctive place. It is simultaneously ubiquitous, relative, and fragile. In this book, Peter L. Berger reflects on the nature of the comic and its relationship to other human experiences. Originally published in 1997, the second edition includes a new preface reflecting on Berger's work in the intervening years, particularly on the relationship between humor and modernity.

    Abstract: "It is often claimed that we live in a secular age. But we do not live in a desacralized one. Sacred forms - whether in 'religious' or 'secular' guise - continue to shape social life in the modern world, giving rise to powerful emotions, polarized group identities, and even the very concept of moral society. Analyzing contemporary sacred forms is essential if we are to be able to make sense of the societies we live in and think critically about the effects of the sacred on our lives for good or ill. The Sacred in the Modern World is a major contribution to this task. Re-interpreting Durkheim's theory of the sacred, and drawing on the 'strong program' in cultural sociology, Gordon Lynch sets out a theory of the sacred that can be used by researchers across a range of humanities and social science disciplines. Using vividly drawn contemporary case material - including the abuse and neglect of children in Irish residential schools and the controversy over the BBC's decision not to air an appeal for aid for Gaza - the book demonstrates the value of this theoretical approach for social and cultural analysis. The key role of public media for the circulation and contestation of the sacred comes under close scrutiny. Adopting a critical stance towards sacred forms, Lynch reflects upon the ways in which sacred commitments can both serve as a moral resource for social life and legitimate horrifying acts of collective evil. He concludes by reflecting on how we might live thoughtfully and responsibility under the light and shadow that the sacred casts, asking whether society without the sacred is possible or desirable."--Publisher's website

    Abstract: The most prominent story of 19th century German & French Jewry has focused on Jews' adoption of liberal middle-class values. Joskowicz points to an equally powerful aspect of modern Jewish history: the extent to which German and French Jews sought to become modern by criticising the anti-modern positions of the Catholic Church. From the moment in which Jews began to enter the fray of modern European politics, they found that Catholicism served as a convenient foil that helped them define what it meant to be a good citizen, to practice a respectable religion, and to have a healthy family life.

    Abstract: Sophia Rose Arjana argues that fictive Muslim characters, and in particular male Muslim monsters, have contributed to the Western construction of knowledge about Islam. The belief in monsters has its origins in anxieties about race, ethnicity, sexuality, and gender. The book examines how Christians, then Europeans, and later Americans have formulated an idea about Muslims that is situated in these concerns.

    Abstract: This book is about the Basel Mission in the Gold Coast (now Ghana) before the First World War. Miller reconstructs the backgrounds and motivations of the mission's participants and describes the organizational structure that shaped their activities at home and abroad. He then traces some serious and recurrent internal problems to the commitment to difficult Pietist beliefs about authority and obedience. The organization survived those troubles and its impact on Ghana continued to grow, because the same biblical worldview that demanded extreme discipline also prepared the members of the mission community to sustain their efforts.

    Abstract: Ein theologischer Einwurf zur viel beachteten Rede von Kardinal Kasper vor dem Konsistorium der Kardinäle unter dem Titel »Das Evangelium von der Familie«. Hermann Häring greift die wichtigen Überlegungen dieser Rede auf und diskutiert sie engagiert, detailliert und kritisch. Dabei zeigt er, wie eine konsequente Beschäftigung mit der Thematik noch über das von Kasper Vorgetragene hinausführen kann. In der so drängenden Frage nach dem kirchlichen Umgang mit wiederverheirateten Geschiedenen zeigt Häring im Anschluss an Kardinal Kasper überzeugend auf, wie ein geistliches Verfahren zur Zulassung zu den Sakramenten konkret aussehen kann.

    Abstract: "Women are more religious than men. Despite being excluded from leadership positions, in almost every culture and religious tradition, women are more likely than men to pray, to worship, and to claim that their faith is important to them. Women also dominate the world of 'New Age' spirituality and are far more superstitious than men. This book reviews the now-sizeable body of social research to consider if the gender gap in religion is indeed universal. Marta Trzebiatowska and Steve Bruce extensively critique competing explanations of the differences found. They conclude that the gender gap is not the result of biology but is rather the consequence of important social differences overlapping and reinforcing each other. Responsibility for managing birth, child-rearing and death, for example, and attitudes to the body, illness, and health, each play a part. In the West, the gender gap is exaggerated because the social changes that undermined the plausibility of religion bore most heavily on men first. Where the lives of men and women become more similar, and where religious indifference grows, the gender gap gradually disappears. Written in an accessible style whilst drawing some robust conclusions, the book's main purpose is to serve as a state-of-the-art review for those interested in one of the largest differences between male and female behaviour."--Dust jacket

    Keywords: Religion ; Globalisierung
    Abstract: Peter Beyer, a distinguished sociologist of religion, presents a way of understanding religion in a contemporary global society - by analyzing it as a dimension of the historical process of globalization. Introducing theories of globalization and showing how they can be applied to world religions, Beyer reveals the nature of the contested category of 'religion': what it means, what it includes and what it implies in the world today. Written with exceptional clarity and illustrated with lively and diverse examples ranging from Islam and Hinduism to African traditional religions and new age spirituality, this is a fascinating overview of how religion has developed in a globalized society. It is recommended reading for students taking courses on sociology of religion, religion and globalization, and religion and modernity.

    Keywords: Islamfeindlichkeit ; Westliche Welt ; Aufsatzsammlung
    Abstract: Since the late 1980s, growing migration from countries with a Muslim cultural background, and increasing Islamic fundamentalism related to terrorist attacks in Western Europe and the US, have created a new research field investigating the way states and ordinary citizens react to these new phenomena. However, whilst we already know much about how Islam finds its place in Western Europe and North America, and how states react to Muslim migration, we know surprisingly little about the attitudes of ordinary citizens towards Muslim migrants and Islam. Islamophobia has only recently started to be addressed by social scientists. With contributions by leading researchers from many countries in Western Europe and North America, this book brings a new, transatlantic perspective to this growing field and establishes an important basis for further research in the area. It addresses several essential questions about Islamophobia, including:what exactly is Islamophobia and how can we measure it? how is it related to similar social phenomena, such as xenophobia? how widespread are Islamophobic attitudes, and how can they be explained? how are Muslims different from other outgroups and what role does terrorism and 9/11 play? Islamophobia in the West will be of interest to students and scholars of sociology, religious studies, social psychology, political science, ethnology, and legal science.

    Abstract: This introductory text explores the historical and contemporary relevance of religion to social life, through an examination of practice and belief. Author Hunt reconsiders how theories and concepts are lived at the level of selfhood and cultural identity, through religious and spiritual belief. At the same time he looks at contemporary changes in religious life and how these are impacted by socialization, institutional belonging, and belief, and at the significance of class, gender, age and ethnicity.  Individual chapters cover a range of issues, such as: religion, identity and community  secularization and pluralism  traditional Christianity: change and continuity  globalization and the global context  religion and ethnicity. The text challenges much current sociological thought and deals with contemporary Christianity, a range of world faiths and new and developing expressions of religion and spirituality. With tables and diagrams to illustrate key points and trends, it provides an accessible and captivating introduction to the sociology of religion.

    Keywords: Muslim ; Muslims -- India ; Indien ; Konferenzschrift 2008
    Abstract: This volume approaches the study of Muslim societies through an evolutionary lens, challenging Islamic traditions, identities, communities, beliefs, practices and ideologies as static, frozen or unchangeable. It assumes that there is neither a monolithic, essential or authentic Islam, nor a homogeneous Muslim community. Similarly, there are no fixed binary oppositions such as between the ulama and sufi saints or textual and lived Islam. The overarching perspective - that there is no fixity in the meanings of Islamic symbols and that the language of Islam can be used by individuals, organizations, movements and political parties variously in religious and non-religious contexts - underlies the ethnographically rich essays that comprise this volume. Divided in three parts, the volume cumulatively presents an initial framework for the study of Muslim communities in India embedded in different regional and local contexts. The first part focuses on ethnographies of three Muslim communities (Kuchchhi Jatt, Irani Shia and Sidis) and their relationships with others, with shifting borders and frontiers; part two examines the issue of 'caste' of certain Muslim communities; and the third part, containing chapters on Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Mumbai and Gujarat, looks at the varied responses of Muslims as Indian citizens in regional contexts at different historical moments. Although the volume focuses on Muslim communities in India, it is also meant to bridge an important gap in, and contribute to, the 'sociology of India' which has been organized and taught primarily as a sociology of Hindu society.The book will appeal to those in sociology, history, political science, education, modern South Asian Studies, and to the general reader interested in India & South Asia.

    Keywords: Geschichte ; Orientalismus ; Orientalistik ; Islambild ; Westliche Welt ; Naher Osten
    Abstract: The history of western notions about Islam is of obvious scholarly as well as popular interest today. This book investigates Christian images of the Muslim Middle East, focusing on the period from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment, when the nature of divine as well as human power was under particularly intense debate in the West.Ivan Kalmar explores how the controversial notion of submission to ultimate authority has in the western world been discussed with reference to Islam's alleged recommendation to obey, unquestioningly, a merciless Allah in heaven and a despotic government on earth. He discusses how Abrahamic faiths - Christianity and Judaism as much as Islam - demand devotion to a sublime power, with the faith that this power loves and cares for us, a concept that brings with it the fear that, on the contrary, this power only toys with us for its own enjoyment. For such a power, Kalmar borrows Slavoj Zizek's term "obscene father". He discusses how this describes exactly the western image of the Oriental despot - Allah in heaven, and the various sultans, emirs and ayatollahs on earth - and how these despotic personalities of imagined Muslim society function as a projection, from the West on to the Muslim Orient, of an existential anxiety about sublime power.Making accessible academic debates on the history of Christian perceptions of Islam and on Islam and the West, this book is an important addition to the existing literature in the areas of Islamic studies, religious history and philosophy.

    Keywords: Middle Eastern history ; Early history: c 500 to c 1450/1500 ; The Early Church ; Chronik von Seert ; Mesopotamien ; Irak ; Ostkirche
    Abstract: This book is a study of the cultural and political history of Christian Iraq, the Church of the East, the so–called ‘Nestorians’. This history is seen through the Chronicle of Seert, a medieval Arabic Chronicle that reuses sources written several centuries earlier. This monograph aims to isolate different layers of composition and looks for trends in the choice of material and the agenda of their historians. Each layer of the text provides insight into the social construction of ‘orthodox belief’ in Iraq and the church as an institution. A central narrative is the growing power of the bishops (catholicoi) of the Sasanian capital of Ctesiphon, their apostolic heritage, and their alliance with the Persian shahs. The monograph also considers the relationship of the catholicoi with monastic and scholarly centres and with Christian communities of the West. In each of these cases, the material that the Chronicle includes shows us how independent historical traditions were annexed by a narrative focused on Ctesiphon and its bishops. The monograph begins in the fifth century, when a series of abortive alliances between church and shah generated small-scale persecutions. It continues this story into the sixth and early seventh, when the church witnessed considerable growth in numbers and prestige. At each stage, we can see Christians rewriting the past to accommodate a new political and social situation, turning a murky past into a glorious golden age. The book concludes with a final chapter on the church under Muslim rule, when the Chronicle was compiled

    Keywords: Salafija ; Kultische Reinheit ; Ritus ; Waschung ; Ägypten
    Abstract: Since 9/11, Salafism has attracted a great deal of attention from the world's media, which predominantly focuses on its potential for revolutionary violence. Salafism remains poorly understood both in Western media, where it is now the focus of considerable debate, and in Western academia, where until recently it was virtually undiscussed. In neither arena has a consensus emerged regarding what Salafism is or does. This pioneering work fills this lacuna by redirecting the reader towards the sphere of ritual practice, within which the discussions of contemporary Salafi scholars prove equally revolutionary. Taking the theme of ritual purity (tahara) as the leitmotif of modern Salafism, this work combines an analysis of key developments in ritual purity law with detailed ethnographic investigations into ritual purity behaviour in specific Cairene settings. The author's research not only bridges the gap between anthropological and Islamicist approaches to Muslim ritual, but highlights the variety of ideas and experiences that contribute to Egyptian Salafism today. This book will be of interest to students of Islamic studies, Anthropology, Religious studies, as well as Middle East studies in general.

    Abstract: The fragility of the liberal democratic state after 1789 is illustrated in the history of the European Jews from the French Revolution to the Holocaust. Emancipation and hope of emancipation amongst the European Jewish population created a plethora of Jewish identities and forms of patriotism. This book takes the original approach of studying European Jewish patriotism as a whole, with particular attention given to creative literature. Despite their growing awareness of racial, genocidal hatred, most European Jews between 1789 and 1939 tended to be patriotic toward the countries of their citizenship, an attitude reflected in the literature of the time. Yet, the common assumption among emancipated Jews that anti-Semitism would fade in a world governed by reason proved false. For millions of European Jews, the infinite possibilities they associated with emancipation came to nothing. The Jewish experience exposed many of the weaknesses and failings of the liberal multicultural state, and demonstrated that its survival cannot be taken for granted but is dependent on vigilance and struggle. By focusing on Jewish patriotism from 1789-1939, this book explores the nature of the liberal state, how it can fail, and the conditions needed for its survival.

    Abstract: The Protocols of the Elders of Zion has attracted the interest of politicians and academicians, and generated extensive research, since the tract first appeared in the early twentieth century. Despite having repeatedly been discredited as a historical document, and in spite of the fact that it served as an inspiration for Hitler's antisemitism and the Holocaust, it continues, even in our time, to be influential. Exploring the Protocols' successful dissemination and impact around the world, this volume attempts to understand their continuing popularity, one hundred years after their first appearance, in so many diverse societies and cultures. With contributions from leading scholars in the field, the book covers themes such as: Why have the Protocols survived to the present day and what are the sources from which they draw their strength? What significance do the Protocols have today in mainstream worldviews? Are they gaining in importance? Are they still today a warrant for genocide or merely a reflection of xenophobic nationalism? Can they be fought by logical argumentation? This comprehensive volume which, for the first time, dwells also on the attraction of the Protocols in Arab and Muslim countries, will be of interest to specialists, teachers, and students working in the fields of antisemitism, the far right, Jewish studies, and modern history.

    Abstract: Ulrike Kolb erzählt die Geschichte einer jüdisch-deutschen Liebe, die sich immer wieder gegen die Nachwirkungen der Vergangenheit behauptet und am Ende doch an den ganz normalen Konflikten zu zerbrechen droht. Zärtlich und melancholisch blickt Carla auf ihre Ehe zurück, die als amour fou in Israel beginnt. So stark und impulsiv die Gefühle Carla und Yoram verbinden, so schmerzhaft schlagen ihnen bald Skepsis und Zweifel entgegen. Kritisch beäugen seine israelischen Freunde die junge Deutsche, und auch Yorams Mutter Aliza ist wenig begeistert von der Wahl ihres Sohnes. In Deutschland geht es dem jungen Paar kaum anders: Die viel und stolz zitierte "Aufarbeitung der Vergangenheit" scheint an der polierten Oberfläche der Realität abgeperlt zu sein. Aber die Gefährdungen des Glücks kommen nicht nur von außen. Yoram, dem leidenschaftlichen Architekten, gelingt es nicht immer, seine Gefühle von den Albträumen der Kindheit zu lösen. Und auch die drei Frauen in seinem Leben, Aliza, Carla und die Tochter Vered, haben ihre eigenen Erinnerungen, Ängste und Hoffnungen. Am Ende schlägt Vered entschieden den Bogen in die Zukunft.   Biographische Informationen Ulrike Kolb, geb. 1942, lebt als freie Schriftstellerin in Frankfurt am Main. Veröffentlichungen u.a.: Roman ohne Held (1996);Frühstück mit Max (2000); Schönes Leben (2002); Diese eine Nacht (2003).   Rezension Platz 7 der SWR-Bestenliste September 2009 "Kolbs Erzählen ist die Beschwörung einer schöpferischen Kraft der Sprache gegen ein Verschweigen und Verstummen, die doch stets die drohende Verzweiflung im Blick hält." (Beate Tröger, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 1.Oktober 2009) "Der Familienroman, der vier Generationen umfasst, geht aus glaubhafter biografischer Erfahrung hervor, szenisch, episodisch, mitreißend und von hoher Authentizitätssuggestion. Ein mutiges Buch, bedrückend und schön." (Hubert...
    Abstract: Winkels, Börsenblatt, 22.10.09) "Ulrike Kolb schreibt über eine amour fou - als hätte sie nie etwas andres getan. Sie schreibt leicht, und zart, als würde diese Liebe verschwinden, wenn wir im Buch eine Seite umblättern." (Rachel Gehlhoff, MDR, 12.10.2009) "Sprachlich und stilistisch klar und gekonnt erzählt, liegt hier ein wichtiges Buch vor mit Themen, die berühren und nicht zuletzt eine wunderbare Liebesgeschichte." (Bettina Wolf, Der evangelische Buchberater, 4/2009) "Kolb lässt Carla das alles in einem liebevollen Rückblick erzählen. Sie wählt eine feine, zurückhaltende Sprache. Ob es immer so ist, dass ein Kind aus einer solchen mutigen Verbindung so souverän mit den Lasten der Eltern umgeht wie Vered, ist nicht sicher. Ulrike Kolbs Roman weckt keine anderen Hoffnungen, als Literatur sie verheißen kann - das ist aber nicht wenig!" (Saarbrücker Zeitung, 6.11.2009) "Nichts ist hier plakativ, alles wirkt in hohem Grad authentisch, und so ist Ulrike Kolb mit "Yoram" ein so feiner wie eindringlicher Roman gelungen, der an tiefsitzenden Missverständnissen rüttelt." (Claudia Kramatschek, NDR, 4.12.2009) "(...) erzählt Ulrike Kolb mit soviel Empathie, diskreter Einfühlungsgabe und Talent zur eleganten Umschiffung aller gängigen deutsch-jüdischen Klischees, dass man zu keinem Moment das Gefühl hat, hier würde nicht auch das Leben selbst in all seinen Möglichkeiten abgebildet." (Jüdische Zeitung, Dezember 2009) "Im deutschsprachigen Raum sind literarisch überzeugende Bücher, die eine deutsch-israelische Liebesbegegnung erzählen, rar. Ulrike Kolb hat nun den Roman Yoram vorgelegt, der mit hoher Sensibiliät und sicherem erzählerischem Können die Abgründe, Gefährdungen wie auch den existenziellen Mut zweier Menschen gestaltet, die eine Ehe eingehen, in die die Folgen der Verfolgung der NS-Zeit hineinwirken. Die Geschichte zwischen einem Israeli und einer
    Abstract: Deutschen wird durch sie entscheidend mitbestimmt. Von gleichem Gewicht erweisen sich mehr als sechzig Jahre tabuisierte deutsche Familiengeheimnisse." (Orientierung Nr. 23, 73. Jahrgang, 15.12.2009) "Ulrike Kolb ist eine großartige Erzählerin, die eindrucksvolle Bilder und Stimmungen erzeugt, in denen das Leben fließt. Und sie zeigt, wie die Grausamkeiten des Naziregimes noch Jahrzehnte später das Schicksal einzelner Menschen bestimmt." (Ida Dehmer, Bücherschau, Zeitschrift für Betriebs- und Gewerkschaftsbibliotheken, 1/2010) "Was auf den letzten Seiten des Buches klar wird: Es handelt nicht vom Holocaust. Es handelt von unserer Gegenwart, in der der Holocaust langsam aber sicher vergessen wird. Genauer gesagt, die Leute glauben, sich das nun endlich leisten zu können. Gegen dieses Vergessen ist kein Kraut gewachsen. Aber es gibt Menschen, bei denen das Kraut "Vergessen" nicht wirkt. Zu ihnen gehört Ulrike Kolb." (Olga Martynova, literaturkritik.de, September 2010).

Waehrend die gegenwaertigen integrationspolitischen Debatten und der interreligioese Dialog noch von einer Vielzahl von Vorurteilen und Missverstaendnissen bestimmt werden, enthaelt dieses Buch eine differenzierte und tiefgreifende Sichtweise auf historische und aktuelle Fragen in Bezug auf die Integration des Islams in die Gesellschaften des Westens. Dabei kommen sowohl Muslime als auch Nichtmuslime zu Wort und geben neue Anstoesse fuer einen vielschichtigen wissenschaftlichen Austausch.

    Abstract: Eren Güvercin erzählt witzig, klug und polemisch von einer Generation junger deutscher Muslime, die in der aufgeregten öffentlichen Debatte kaum wahrgenommen wird; eine Generation, die schon heute eine wichtige kulturelle und politische Rolle in Deutschland spielt, und das nicht trotz, sondern wegen ihres "Migrationshintergrunds"; ein Buch, das ernst und witzig zugleich erklärt, warum Güvercin ein mindestens so deutscher Name ist wie Podolski und Sarazzin, und warum die üblichen Abgrenzungsreflexe nicht mehr funktionieren.

    Keywords: Islamische Erziehung ; Muslim ; Soziale Integration ; Imam ; Ausbildung ; Österreich ; Europa ; Aufsatzsammlung
    Abstract: Obwohl die Geschichte des Islam in Oesterreich viel weiter zurueckreicht als die Geschichte der muslimischen Migration nach Oesterreich, rufen Muslime und ihre religioese Praesenz nach wie vor kontroverse Diskussionen hervor. Dabei ruecken vor allem Imame ins Zentrum der Debatte - als jene Kraefte, die, so die Behauptung, mit ihrer Ablehnung der westlichen Grundwerte der Isolation der Muslime Vorschub leisten und dergestalt eine Gefahr fuer den sozialen Frieden darstellen. Glaubt man diversen Berichten, bilden Imame und Moscheen jedenfalls den Naehrboden fuer ein gefaehrliches Religionsverstaendnis. Wer sind nun diese Imame? Worin besteht eigentlich ihre Taetigkeit? Wird ihr Einfluss ueberschaetzt oder sind sie tatsaechlich eine Gefahr fuer die Gesellschaft und ein Hindernis fuer die Integration der Muslime?.

    Keywords: The Early Church ; Christian theology ; Christian mysticism ; Dionysius Areopagita ; Pseudonym ; Apophatische Theologie
    Abstract: This book argues that the pseudonym, Dionysius the Areopagite, and the influence of Paul together constitute the best interpretive lens for understanding the Corpus Dionysiacum [CD]. This book demonstrates how Paul in fact animates the entire corpus, that the influence of Paul illuminates such central themes of the CD as hierarchy, theurgy, deification, Christology, affirmation (kataphasis) and negation (apophasis), dissimilar similarities, and unknowing. Most importantly, Paul serves as a fulcrum for the expression of a new theological anthropology, an “apophatic anthropology.” Dionysius figures Paul as the premier apostolic witness to this apophatic anthropology, as the ecstatic lover of the divine who confesses to the rupture of his self and the indwelling of the divine in Gal 2:20: “it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” Building on this notion of apophatic anthropology, the book forwards an explanation for why this sixth‐century author chose to write under an apostolic pseudonym. It argues that the very practice of pseudonymous writing itself serves as an ecstatic devotional exercise whereby the writer becomes split in two and thereby open to the indwelling of the divine. Pseudonymity is on this interpretation integral and internal to the aims of the wider mystical enterprise. Thus this book aims to question the distinction between “theory” and “practice” by demonstrating that negative theology—often figured as a speculative and rarefied theory regarding the transcendence of God—is in fact best understood as a kind of asceticism, a devotional practice aiming for the total transformation of the Christian subject

    Abstract: It can be said that history is poor sociology that does not account sufficiently for present social circumstances, while sociology is bad history in that it does not go back in time. This volume in the Religion and Social Order series sets out to address these conjoint problems of history and sociology within the disciplinary boundaries of the sociology of religion. History has such a fickle nature that it has seen religion hold varied and different places within the timeline of sociological thought. Religion had a high level of importance among the early founders of sociology. A perceived decline of significance for religion by sociology in the latter half of the twentieth century mirrored the changing social location of religion. The increase in world fundamentalisms, religious movements, private spiritualities and other indicators in the millennial age have brought a renaissance to this longstanding subdiscipline and shown that religion is far from extinction.

    Abstract: Hauptbeschreibung Der Ruf nach Verantwortung bestimmt zunehmend wissenschaftliche Debatten, bewegt aber auch das Denken der Bürger. Franz-Xaver Kaufmann sieht in der Verantwortung "eine ethische Grundkategorie unseres gegenwärtigen Selbstverständnisses". Freiheit und Verantwortung stehen in einem direkten Verhältnis. So sind die Menschen verantwortlich für die Entscheidungen, die sie treffen, und für deren Folgen. Allerdings sind die Handlungsketten in der modernen Gesellschaft komplexer geworden. Wer trägt welche Verantwortung für welche Handlungsbereiche? Versuche, die Verantwortung auf gesellschaftliche Organisationen abzuwälzen, sind keine Lösung. Jeder Einzelne, aber auch jede Gruppe, muss sich jeweils der eigenen Verantwortung stellen. Die Beiträge des Bandes gehen auf das 10. Deutsch-Amerikanische Kolloquium zurück, das 2008 in Philadelphia stattfand.   Inhaltsverzeichnis Inhalt: I. Grundfragen - Begriff und Wesen der Verantwortung: A.

    Keywords: Geschlechtsidentität ; Islam ; Transsexualität ; Indonesien
    Abstract: Indonesia provides particularly interesting examples of gender diversity. Same-sex relations, transvestism and cross-gender behaviour have long been noted amongst a wide range of Indonesian peoples. This book explores the nature of gender diversity in Indonesia, and with the world's largest Muslim population, it examines Islam in this context. Based on extensive ethnographic research, it discusses in particular calalai - female-born individuals who identify as neither woman nor man; calabai - male-born individuals who also identify as neither man nor woman; and bissu - an order of shamans who embody female and male elements. The book examines the lives and roles of these variously gendered subjectivities in everyday life, including in low-status and high-status ritual such as wedding ceremonies, fashion parades, cultural festivals, Islamic recitations and shamanistic rituals. The book analyses the place of such subjectivities in relation to theories of gender, gender diversity and sexuality.

    Keywords: Luhmann, Niklas ; Religion ; Theorie ; Systemtheorie
    Abstract: In seinem monumentalen Lebenswerk versucht Niklas Luhmann (1927-1998), die gesamte kulturelle Wirklichkeit zu erklären: Nicht Menschen, sondern Kommunikationssysteme, die der Bielefelder Soziologe in Analogie zu biologischen Organismen beschreibt, bildet demnach ein komplexes Ganzes, die Gesellschaft. Im Zentrum seines Denkmodells steht dann die Frage, wie die Teilsysteme - bspw. Politik, Wirtschaft oder Kunst - durch spezifische Beiträge das Überleben der Gesellschaft sichern können.Leif H. Seibert skizziert die grundlegenden Begriffe der Systemtheorie, um vor diesem Hintergrund Luhmanns Theorie der Religion zu präsentieren, in der das älteste der Teilsysteme hinsichtlich seiner Bedeutung für die gesellschaftliche Umwelt untersucht wird. Im Zuge dessen werden Stärken und Schwächen des systemtheoretischen Ansatzes deutlich, denn: "Einen Unterschied kann man nicht anbeten." Inhaltsverzeichnis1. Einleitung1.1. Zielsetzung1.2. Aufbau1.3.

    Keywords: Islam ; Kultur ; Marokko
    Abstract: Having worked for several decades in North Africa, anthropologist Lawrence Rosen is uniquely placed to ask what factors contribute to the continuity and changes characterizing the present-day Muslim world. In The Culture of Islam, he brings his erudition and his experiences to illuminating key aspects of Muslim life and how central tenets of that life are being challenged and culturally refashioned.Through a series of poignant tales-from the struggle by a group of friends against daily corruption to the contest over a saint's identity, from nostalgia for the departed Jews to Salman Rushdie's vision of doubt in a world of religious certainty-Rosen shows how a dazzling array of potential changes are occurring alongside deeply embedded continuity, a process he compares to a game of chess in which infinite variations of moves can be achieved while fundamental aspects of "the game" have had a remarkably enduring quality. Whether it is the potential fabrication of new forms of Islam by migrants to Europe (creating a new "Euro-Islam," as Rosen calls it), the emphasis put on individuals rather than institutions, or the heartrending problems Muslims may face when their marriages cross national boundaries, each story and each interpretation offers a window into a world of contending concepts and challenged coherence.The Culture of Islam is both an antidote to simplified versions of Islam circulating today and a consistent story of the continuities that account for much of ordinary Muslim life. It offers, in its human stories and its insights, its own contribution, as the author says, "to the mutual understanding and forgiveness that alone will make true peace possible.".

    Abstract: Starting from the premise that religion--broadly defined--involves a quest for meaning, Intersecting Journeys seeks to bridge the conceptual dichotomy between pilgrimage as religious travel and tourism as secular journeying. _x000B__x000B_The appeal of sacred sites remains undiminished at the start of the twenty-first century, as unprecedented numbers of visitors travel to Lourdes, Rome, Jerusalem, and Santiago de Compostela. Likewise, locations not conventionally considered shrines, such as Ground Zero or Star Trek conventions, attract visitors in search of links to a collectivity larger than the self. This book's ethnographic analysis of the conflicts over resources and meanings associated with such sites, as well as the sense of community they inspire, provides compelling evidence emphasizing the links between pilgrimage and tourism. _x000B__x000B_.

    Abstract: This timely work examines the scale and root causes of terrorism across Southeast Asia, including the role of al-Qaeda's ascendancy in the region. It begins with an overview of the analytical and theoretical framework for discussing the subject. Individual chapters then examine terrorist activities from both functional and country-specific perspectives. The book traces fundamental linkages between terrorism and security issues, such as illegal immigration, narcotics trafficking, and other criminal activity. In addition, it considers the issue of convergence - the growing connection between criminal groups and terrorism, and how this may facilitate future violence. Written by a range of experts in the field, the individual chapters reflect a variety of perspectives. The contributions fall into two broad categories - chapters that directly address terrorism (the groups, their ideologies, their modus operandi, their origins, and state responses to them); and chapters that address the "enabling environment" that exists in Southeast Asia (the role of transnational crime, porous borders, convergence between terrorism and crime).
