Skolen som reformasjonsprosjekt i Norge på 1500–tallet
2019
Artikkelen undersøker latinskolens utvikling i Norge de første 70 årene etter innføringen av reformasjonen. Brudd og kontinuitet med middelalderskolen drøftes. Skiftet av styringsstruktur fra kirken til kongen og embetsverket fremheves som det største bruddet. Til tross for at latinskolen var den viktigste presteutdanningsinstitusjonen på 1500–tallet, ble den ikke en ren kirkeskole. Jeg argumenterer mot oppfatninger om at skolen forandret seg lite, og at reformasjonen virket negativt inn på den. Tvert om viser jeg at latinskolene ble utbygd og fikk stor betydning for implementeringen av selve trosskiftet. Jeg argumenterer også for at skolene i Norge kunne være tjent med sentralstyringen.
Religious Diaspora: A New Approach to Its Existence and Meaning
2021
The present study aims to contribute to the discussion regarding the possibility of conceptualizing a religious diaspora. It proposes a new way of defining it, namely in relation to religious and not to ethno-territorial realities, but without editing the territorial dimension out. After sketching the definition on this theoretical basis, the study refers to six case studies, pointing to the way in which the definitory traits of a religious diaspora are actualized in each situation under study. The evaluation unravels the strengths of the concept as well as certain aspects that still need to be addressed in further research. The inference is that the capacity of religion to generate diaspor…
Imagery and Religious Conversion. The Symbolic Function of Jonah 1:13
2018
Jonah 1:13 has a delaying function in the narrative, introducing a pause between Jonah’s demand to be thrown in the sea (1:12) and the event’s occurrence (1:15). Most commentators discuss only the events of 1:13 and their causes. In this article, I suggest an interpretation of Jonah 1:13 based on the imagery of the narrative. An analysis of the use of metaphors and symbols does not replace the message of the verse; such an analysis simply augments it with motives of the seamen’s conversion. Beside the narrative level, there is a hidden level suggesting a deeper understanding of the story where symbols and metaphors have a consolidating function. Distance, directions, and movement in Jonah 1…
Le corps divin : entre représentation "imagée" et "langagière"
2008
Organisé par la formation "Histoire et civilisations" de l'Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales 16 pages; National audience; La représentation de la divinité sous une forme visible a toujours été un facteur de division des mouvements religieux. Icônes, vitraux, sculptures, peintures, autant de représentations du divin qui produisent chez leurs lecteurs une représentation de la divinité dite « construite par intermédiaire d'autrui » et donc influencée par l'artisan auteur de l'œuvre d'art : les figures de Christ occidentalisé (yeux bleus et cheveux blonds) en sont une illustration marquante. Dans notre XXIe siècle éminemment spirituel, les mouvements religieux qui croissent le plus v…

Introduction : La quête rituelle, dieu caché des nouvelles radicalités : jalons anthropologiques sur le cadre, les réseaux, les discours
2020
En proposant un détour par l’anthropologie, l’allocution introductive de Pascal Lardellier pose le cadre d’étude général des dynamiques afférentes à la radicalité, abordées lors du colloque. Il débute son analyse en présentant trois caractéristiques de la vie moderne : tout d’abord la désinstitution, c’est-à-dire la crise des institutions traditionnelles (politique, école, famille) qui n’offrent plus le destin « clé-en-mains » qu’elles proposaient jadis ; puis la déritualisation massive de la société, c’est-à-dire la disparition des rites traditionnelles religieux et/ou païens ; et enfin, l’individualisme connecté, c’est-à-dire la connexion croissante des individus, de pair avec leur solitu…

The Influence of Religion on Life Satisfaction in Italy
2021
Italy is the cradle of Catholicism and, despite the secularization process, religion continues to be part of its national culture. Although Italian sociologists have investigated the religious paradigm in Italy, there are aspects of such phenomenon still little explored. This paper examines the potential influence religion has on individuals’ life satisfaction. Data from the European Value Study survey provides evidence of a two-way interaction between religion and life satisfaction, with a substantial effect only in the case of public religious forms. This association seems to be moved by the mechanism of social support, and it differs across Italian regions. Results confirm the hypothesis…
Attitudes : Tendencies and Variations
2018
This chapter presents an overview of religiosity and attitudes to religious diversity in media and other public spaces based on a cross-Scandinavian survey conducted in 2015. Although Scandinavians in general have a weak personal connection to religion, Christianity still holds a privileged position as an expression of cultural identity. Scandinavians express support for equal rights to practice religion, but also doubtfulness towards public expressions of religion. More than one-fourth of respondents discuss news about religion and religious extremism regularly. There is a widespread sentiment that Islam is a threat to the national culture, even though most respondents state that they oppo…
