Abstract

This article explores the potential of combining material analysis with object-elicited memory work in order to explore the role of objects in lived religion. It presents a case study on two traditional cross pendants, a Dagmar Cross and a Huguenot Cross, and analyses the cultural-historical contexts of the two crosses, including their importance for specific national and religious memory communities. Furthermore, the memory work sections of the article foreground how the pendants were used as transgenerational gifts during a mixed-faith upbringing in a transnational family. The article argues that such a multidimensional approach is helpful for unfolding the potential meanings of religious objects in lived religion.

作为记忆对象的十字架
本文探讨了将材料分析与客体引发的记忆工作相结合的潜力,以探索客体在生活宗教中的作用。它对两个传统十字架进行了个案研究,一个是达格玛十字架,另一个是胡格诺十字架,并分析了这两个十字架的文化历史背景,包括它们对特定的民族和宗教记忆社区的重要性。此外,文章的记忆工作部分展望了在跨国家庭的混合信仰成长过程中,吊坠是如何被用作变性礼物的。文章认为,这种多维的方法有助于揭示宗教对象在生活宗教中的潜在含义。

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.
