Abstract

Based on field research carried out over the last two decades, this article analyzes the labile nature of the relationship between religion and politics in Georgia. It aims to understand not only the rational and deliberate processes in which elites engage for political ends but also to grasp the diversity of actors and patterns of religion mobilization. It argues that three main types of articulations have developed since the 1990s: the mobilization of Orthodoxy (1) in the service of nation-building; (2) in the construction of an anti-elite popular identity; and (3) as a moral crusade. Each type of articulation involves specific social actors, organizational forms, and relations with political institutions.

后苏联格鲁吉亚的东正教动员与政治认同
本文基于近二十年来的实地调查,分析了格鲁吉亚宗教与政治关系的不稳定性。它不仅旨在理解精英为政治目的而参与的理性和深思熟虑的过程,而且还旨在掌握行动者和宗教动员模式的多样性。它认为,自20世纪90年代以来,发展了三种主要的表达方式:为国家建设服务的正教动员;(2)建构反精英的大众认同;(3)作为一场道德运动。每种类型的表达都涉及特定的社会行动者、组织形式以及与政治机构的关系。

期刊介绍: The peer-reviewed Journal of Religion in Europe (JRE) provides a forum for multi-disciplinary research into the complex dynamics of religious discourses and practices in Europe, both historically and contemporary. The Journal’s underlying idea is that religion in Europe is characterized by a variety of pluralisms. There is a pluralism of religious communities that actively engage with one another; there exists a pluralism of societal systems, such as nation, law, politics, economy, science, and art, all of them interacting with religious systems; finally, in a pluralism of scholarly discourses religious studies, legal studies, history, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, and psychology are addressing the religious dynamics involved.
