Gender, Diversity, and Mediatized Conflicts of Religion: Lessons from Scandinavian Case Studies
2018
Abstract: Drawing on empirical data from the Scandinavian project Engaging with Conflicts in Mediatized Religious Environments (CoMRel), this chapter ana- lyses the findings from case-studies in: classrooms, online communities, public service media (PSM) production rooms, local news outlets, and interreligious dialogue initiatives. Gender and ethno-religious diversity receive particular ana- lytical attention. We discuss the multiple ways in which various social actors in Scandinavia engage with mediatized conflicts about religion, and the ways in which dominant media frames are replicated, contested, and nuanced. A main finding is that mediatized conflicts about religion are symptomaticall…

The Source Value of Arabic Typikon-Manuscripts as Testimonials for the Byzantinization of the Melkites
2021
With the expansion of Islam, the patriarchates of Antioch, Jerusalem, and Alexandria were divided from the Byzantine Empire. The Orthodox Christians there still defined themselves as Byzantine Orthodox and began to adapt their liturgical customs by adopting Byzantine liturgical books. When Greek was not understood any longer, they began to translate and copy their liturgical books, thereby creating their own branch of tradition, which is marked by multilingualism, reception of their own Bible tradition as well as the exclusion of “neo-martyrs” from their calendar of saints.
Orthodoxy and Evangelicalism: An Overview of Their Relationship from the Perspective of Moral Values
2021
Orthodox–Evangelical relationships are dominated by proselytism (at least in Eastern Europe and in the former Soviet Union). This is understood as church conversion practiced through unfair means among people who are already Christians, belonging to so-called “historical churches.” However, beyond it, there is a real potential for cooperation using moral values as a starting point. As there is an increasing disagreement between the Orthodox and mainline Protestant on moral values, the Orthodox and Evangelicals might increase their cooperation as they witness traditional values of Christianity. This kind of cooperation might be partially contextual, but it is based on Biblicism, which both O…
Il corpo della parola. Inni, poemi e performance nell'India antica e contemporanea
2021
Nella storia culturale dell’India la riflessione sulla Parola e sui suoi molteplici significati attraversa ambiti e discipline diversi, intersecantisi a loro volta tra loro, nelle riflessioni che riguardano il mito, il rituale, la poesia, la scienza, la storia, il teatro, in una serie incessante di implicazioni e di allusioni che potremmo descrivere come un albero, le cui vertiginose ramificazioni abbracciano un arco di tempo che si estende dal corpus vedico all’India contemporanea. I diversi aspetti e i vari usi della parola investono sia il contesto pubblico sia quello privato, la sfera politica così come quella religiosa, dove performance, dottrine, riti e speculazioni fissano i confini …
Queer types in ancient India. The categorisation and representation of non-heterosexual individuals in some passages of Vedic literature
2022
Vedic culture has used a variety of terms to denote male individuals who do not fit within the canons of the heterosexual norm. Often, in the past, Vedic philology has provided homologating translations of these terms from outdated cultural constructs and imagery, which have often reduced differences to univocal meanings. In order to understand non-heteronormative sexualities and sexual practices, I have adopted in this study an approach based on the idea of the construction of the concept of gender and which aims to describe behaviour beyond definitions. The analysis of the semantic and conceptual domains identified by the different terms within the Vedic texts, as well as of the history o…

Introduction : le rit hispanique dans l'Europe médiévale

International audience; Si l'histoire de la lituirgie éclairait seulement l'histoire des pratiques liturgiques en son sens le plus strict, son étude n'aurait de signification que pour certains chercheurs aux attributions bien déterminées : historiens du livre pour l'identification des sacramentaires et des antiphonaires, ou historiens de la musique pour la définition des répertoires. L'histoire "générale" n'aurait, quant à elle, pas vocation à s'en mêler, sinon à la marge. Et la science liturgique s'en trouverait ramenée à ce qu'elle a longtemps été : une "science auxiliaire" - et encore, l'une des plus menues et des moins fréquentées. Or, les enjeux de cette histoire dépassent, et de très …
Les enjeux anthropologiques et ecclésiologiques des phénomènes d'abus
2023
It is no longer possible to trust an institution, to believe that, despite the human weaknesses inherent in our humanity, there are organizations that place the general interest above the particular interest, that pursue the common good while disregarding their own. Transcendence continues to exist, but it is no longer common, it is now singular, linked to individuals or close-knit communities who share common values for a time, in order to bind themselves together in the face of danger; but as soon as the danger has passed, the community dissolves, and each individual returns to his or her own interests.It is therefore necessary to examine the factors that lead certain religious institutio…
