Abstract

This article focuses on the European Court of Human Rights’ (ECtHR) case law about religious symbols (N=27) from 2001 to 2018, exploring the following questions: What discourses does the ECtHR employ in cases about religious symbols? How do ECtHR’s discourses about religious symbols evolve in time? The data is innovatively analyzed through critical discourse analysis and leads to two findings: first, the ECtHR tends to endorse ‘Christian secularism,’ considering Christian symbols as compatible with secularism but not Muslim symbols; second, ECtHR discourses occasionally become more favorable to Muslim applicants over time, but the evolution of case law is not linear.

改教与炫耀:欧洲人权法院关于宗教象征的判例法的批判性话语分析
本文关注2001年至2018年欧洲人权法院关于宗教象征(N=27)的判例法,探讨了以下问题:欧洲人权法院在关于宗教象征的案件中使用了哪些话语?ECtHR关于宗教象征的论述是如何随着时间的推移而演变的?通过批判性话语分析对数据进行了创新性分析,得出了两个结果:首先,ECtHR倾向于支持“基督教世俗主义”,认为基督教符号与世俗主义兼容,但与穆斯林符号不兼容;其次,随着时间的推移,ECtHR话语偶尔会对穆斯林申请人更有利,但判例法的演变不是线性的。

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.
