    Abstract: What are you drawn to like, to watch, or even to binge? What are you free to consume, and what do you become through consumption? These questions of desire and value, Kathryn Lofton argues, are questions for the study of religion. In 11 essays exploring soap and office cubicles, Britney Spears and the Kardashians, corporate culture and Goldman Sachs, Lofton shows the conceptual levers of religion in thinking about social modes of encounter, use and longing.

    Religion and modernity : an international comparison (2017)

    Uniform Title: Religion in der Moderne
    DDC: 306.6
    RVK:
    BE 1580
    Keywords: Religion and sociology ; Civilization, Modern ; Moderne ; Religiosität ; Gesellschaft ; Modernisierung ; Religiöser Wandel
    Abstract: This is not a book that provides a new integrated theory of religious change in modern societies, but rather one that develops theoretical elements that contribute to the understanding of some contemporary religious developments. Most of the approaches in sociology of religion are prone to emphasise either processes of religious decline or of religious upswing. For example, secularization theory usually includes a couple of relevant factors -such as functional differentiation, economic affluence or social equality -in order to account for religious change. However, the result of such a theory's empirical analyses seems to be certain in advance, namely that the social relevance of religion is decreasing. In contrast, the religious market model devised by sociologists of religion in the US is inclined to detect everywhere processes of religious upsurge. Religion and Modernity: An International Comparison avoids a purely theoretically based perspective on religious changes. For this reason, Detlef Pollack and Gergely Rosta do not begin with theoretical propositions but with questions. The authors raise the question of how the social significance of religion in its various facets has changed in modern societies, and explain what factors and conditions have contributed to these changes. --
    Abstract: Part I. Theoretical reflections. Reflections on the concept of modernity -- Reflections on the concept of religion -- Key questions and methodological preliminaries -- Part II.

Religious change outside Europe: three case studies. Religion and religiosity in the US: a contrasting case to Europe? -- South Korea: the simultaneity of modernization and Christianization -- Charismatic, pentecostal, and evangelical movements in Europe, the US, and Brazil -- Part V. Systematic perspectives.

    Abstract: This title offers groundbreaking ways of thinking about danger, risk, and uncertainty from an analytical and anthropological perspective. Our world, the contributors show, is increasingly populated by forms, practices, and events whose uncertainty cannot be reduced to risk-and thus it is vital to distinguish between the two.

    Abstract: In the current historical moment borders have taken on heightened material and symbolic significance, shaping identities and the social and political landscape. 'Borders' - defined broadly to include territorial dividing lines as well as sociocultural boundaries - have become increasingly salient sites of struggle over social belonging and cultural and material resources. How do contemporary activists navigate and challenge these borders? What meanings do they ascribe to different social, cultural and political boundaries, and how do these meanings shape the strategies in which they engage? Moreover, how do these social movements confront internal borders based on the differences that emerge within socialchange initiatives? This book explores these important questions through 11 carefully selected case studies situated in geographic contexts around the globe.

    Abstract: Freedom, Sen argues, is both the end and most efficient means of sustaining economic life and the key to securing the general welfare of the world's entire population. Releasing the idea of individual freedom from association with any particular historical, intellectual, political, or religious tradition, Sen clearly demonstrates its current applicability and possibilities. In the new global economy, where, despite unprecedented increases in overall opulence, the contemporary world denies elementary freedoms to vast numbers--perhaps even the majority of people--he concludes, it is still possible to practically and optimistically restain a sense of social accountability
