IIt is a legitimate, intriguing and urgent challenge to contemporary sociological research to enquire into the role of religion in the Yugoslav crisis. The question involves more than simply the relationship between religion and war: it involves the earlier and wider question of the role of religion in deepening social divisions and cleavages until they reach the point of fracture and in exacerbating social conflicts until they reach maximum incandescence. It also involves the question of the rela­ tionship of religious confessions to each other, and to the otherness of the others, in an area with mixed population, muIticonfessional, multinational and multicultural. Two fundamental a priori objections may of course be made to asking the question at all. Firstly, some will point out that the war has been characterised as a religious one by the propaganda apparatus of one or other of the conflicting parties with the purely propagandistic aim of concealing the real nature of the war and creating (at least) confusion in international public opinion. It is more or less obvious, however, that this war has not been a religious war. It is evidently a political war, caused by politi­ cal strategies which since the beginning of the Yugoslav crisis have been on a colli­ sion course. It is a war which fully confirms the well-known formula of Klausewitz that war is but a continuation of politics by other means. However, this does not mean that religion has nothing to do with the war. It is also more or less obvious that the three major confessions of the region, Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Islam, have all been implicated and involved in the conflict in some way and to some degree. Here we see an analogy with the civil war in Lebanon and the chronic conflict in Northern Ireland. In both these cases the wars have not been 'religious' in terms of the classical definition of a 'holy war'; I but at the same time it has been obvious that religion has not been a purely passive onlooker but has been actively engaged in the conflict. Consequently at an impressionistic level the assertions of F. Vreg sound a convincing note: Amongst the demons of destruction of the processes of cultural rapproche­ ment in the European area have been not only growing ethnicism, which frequently turns into the malignant tumour of nationalism, but also reli­ gious mysticism. We have seen a brutal eruption not only of national feel­ ings with their political symbols, but of religious feelings and symbols too, and this has been wrongly understood as a religious rebirth. Croatian soldiers wear not only HDZ badges, but Catholic crosses too; Serbian soldiers do not carry photographs of Milo~evic but Orthodox crosses. Muslim fundamentalists and mujaheddins kill under the slogan of Allah.
探究宗教在南斯拉夫危机中的作用,是当代社会学研究面临的一个合理、有趣和紧迫的挑战。这个问题涉及的不仅仅是宗教与战争之间的关系:它还涉及到一个更早、更广泛的问题,即宗教在加深社会分裂和分裂,直到它们达到破裂的地步,并加剧社会冲突,直到它们达到最白热化的程度方面所起的作用。它还涉及到在一个人口混合、多教派、多民族和多元文化的地区,宗教信仰彼此之间以及与他人之间的关系问题。当然,提出这个问题可能会有两个基本的先天的反对意见。首先,有些人会指出,冲突一方或另一方的宣传机构将这场战争定性为一场宗教战争,其纯粹的宣传目的是掩盖战争的真实性质,并(至少)在国际舆论中制造混乱。然而,或多或少可以明显看出,这场战争并不是一场宗教战争。这显然是一场政治战争,是由自南斯拉夫危机开始以来一直处于冲突过程中的政治战略引起的。这场战争充分证实了克劳塞维茨那句著名的公式:战争不过是政治的另一种方式的继续。然而,这并不意味着宗教与战争无关。同样或多或少明显的是,该地区的三大教派——天主教、东正教和伊斯兰教——都以某种方式和某种程度上卷入了这场冲突。我们在这里看到了黎巴嫩内战和北爱尔兰长期冲突的相似之处。这两场战争都不属于"宗教战争"经典定义下的"宗教战争"但与此同时,很明显,宗教并不是一个纯粹被动的旁观者,而是积极地参与了冲突。因此,在印象主义的层面上,F. Vreg的断言听起来令人信服:在破坏欧洲地区文化和解进程的恶魔中,不仅是日益增长的种族主义,它经常变成民族主义的恶性肿瘤,而且还有宗教神秘主义。我们不仅看到了带有政治象征的民族感情的野蛮爆发,也看到了宗教感情和象征的野蛮爆发,而这被错误地理解为宗教的重生。克罗地亚士兵不仅佩带民主联盟徽章,还佩带天主教十字架;塞尔维亚士兵不携带米洛耶维奇的照片,而是携带东正教十字架。穆斯林原教旨主义者和圣战者打着安拉的旗号杀人。

This paper provides a detailed summary and analysis of “Slicing Off the Tumour,” a text written by two sons of Muhammad Yusuf (d. 2009), founder of the Nigerian Jihadi movement known as “Boko Haram,” and recently (2018) published by the Islamic State. The paper argues that although obviously biased, this book provides important insights into the history of Jihad in Nigeria as seen through the lenses of Global Jihadi actors, which the analysts should not dismiss. In the conclusion, the author questions the heuristic usefulness of the term “Boko Haram” in the literature on local and global manifestations of Jihad in contemporary Nigeria. Finally, the author locates his position in the recent debate around the nature of the global links entertained by Nigerian Jihadi actors and around the role of these links in the development of the “Boko Haram phenomenon.”
本文对《切掉肿瘤》进行了详细的总结和分析,这篇文章是由尼日利亚圣战运动“博科圣地”的创始人穆罕默德·优素福(Muhammad Yusuf, 2009年生)的两个儿子写的,最近(2018年)由伊斯兰国出版。这篇论文认为,尽管有明显的偏见,但这本书通过全球圣战行动者的镜头,对尼日利亚圣战的历史提供了重要的见解,分析人士不应忽视这一点。在结论中,作者质疑“博科圣地”一词在当代尼日利亚当地和全球圣战表现的文献中启发式的有用性。最后,作者在最近关于尼日利亚圣战分子与全球联系的本质以及这些联系在“博科圣地现象”发展中的作用的辩论中定位了自己的立场。

REVISITING THE PHILIPPINE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH POLITICS VIA THE LENS OF PUBLIC THEOLOGY: THE ROLE OF PROGRESSIVE CATHOLIC AND PROTESTANT SECTOR 从公共神学视角重新审视菲律宾生殖健康政治:进步天主教和新教的作用

Brian U. Doce
Being a traditionally religious country, the role of religion in Philippine politics is quite neglected as scholars are used to frame religious actors based on either interest group politics or theological interpretations. This paper employs a new approach called public theology. Using the Reproductive Health Debate from 2010 – 1012 as a case to analyze, the public theology approach fleshes out a marginalized religious sector who became influential in reshaping the religiopolitical discourse about the morality of a politician voting in favor of the Reproductive Health Bill. This marginalized sector, the progressive religious leaders both from Catholic and Protestant, tradition is influential for providing an alternative moral criterion which served as an opportunity for the President and Congress members to defy the moral and political threat posed by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines.
作为一个传统的宗教国家,宗教在菲律宾政治中的作用被忽视了,因为学者们习惯于根据利益集团政治或神学解释来界定宗教行为者。本文采用了一种新的方法,称为公共神学。以2010-2012年的生殖健康辩论为例进行分析,公共神学方法充实了一个边缘化的宗教部门,该部门在重塑关于投票支持《生殖健康法案》的政治家道德的宗教政治话语方面发挥了影响力。这个被边缘化的部门,天主教和新教的进步宗教领袖,传统对提供另一种道德标准具有影响力,这为总统和国会议员提供了一个机会,使他们能够对抗菲律宾天主教主教会议构成的道德和政治威胁。

PRAISE OF THE CONVERT: BELIEVE AND BELONG FROM THE CATHOLICITY OF LATIN AMERICA 赞美皈依者:来自拉丁美洲天主教的信仰与归属

Latin America was considered for many years the main bastion of Catholicism in the world by the number of parishioners and the influence of the church in the social and political life of the región, but in recent times there has been a decrease in the catholicity index. This paper explores three variables that havemodified the identity of Catholicism in Latin American countries. The first one refers to the conversion processes that have expanded the presence of Christian denominations, by analyzing the reasons that revolve around the sense of belonging that these communities offer and that prop up their expansion and growth. The second variable accounts for those Catholics who still belong to the Catholic Church but who in their practices and beliefs have incorporated othermagical or esoteric scheme in the form of religious syncretisms, modifying their sense of being Catholics in the world. The third factor has a political referenceand has to do with the concept of laicism, a concept that sets its objective, not only in the separation of the State from the Church, but for historical reasons incatholicity restraint in the public space which has led to the confinement of the Catholic to the private, leaving other religious groups to occupy that space.
拉丁美洲多年来一直被认为是世界上天主教的主要堡垒,因为教区居民的数量和教会在社会和政治生活中的影响región,但近年来,天主教指数有所下降。本文探讨了改变拉丁美洲国家天主教身份的三个变量。第一个是通过分析围绕这些社区提供的归属感以及支持其扩张和增长的原因,来分析扩大基督教教派存在的皈依过程。第二个变量是那些仍然属于天主教会的天主教徒,但他们在实践和信仰中以宗教融合的形式加入了其他神奇或深奥的计划,改变了他们在世界上作为天主教徒的感觉。第三个因素与政治有关,与世俗主义的概念有关,这个概念的目标,不仅在于国家与教会的分离,而且由于历史原因,在公共空间中不信仰天主教的限制导致了天主教被限制在私人空间,让其他宗教团体占据了那个空间。

THE INCONGRUITY OF SAYYID QUTB’S POLITICAL ISLAM AND NATIONAL INTEGRATION IN NIGERIA: A DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSIS 赛义德·库特布的政治伊斯兰与尼日利亚民族一体化的不协调:一个描述性分析

The refutation and disregard of the influence of religion in politics has implications for national integration. The last few decades have witnessed the emergence of contemporary Islamic movements and trends in the Muslim world. One of the most effective and influential political thinkers of Islamism is Sayyid Qutb, a leading member of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood in the 1950’s and 1960’s and theorist of violent Jihad. As the father of modern Islamic fundamentalism, his ideas provide a framework and ideological foundation for many Islamic groups, like al-Qaeda, Boko Haram and the ISIS, around the world. While there are cases where political elites manipulate religion to mobilize support and further narrow political interests, it is erroneous and dangerous for policy to continue to perceive religion as incapable on its own to generate divisions in a society. This paper examines the features of Political Islam in three main areas: cultural-ideological, political and socio-economic, from the perspective of Sayyid Qutb political thought, and reflects on how these beliefs could impact on the dimensions of national integration in Nigeria. The paper argues that Political Islam is incompatible with national integration and as such the future of national integration is threatened in Nigeria.
对宗教在政治中的影响的驳斥和漠视对国家一体化具有启示意义。在过去的几十年里,穆斯林世界出现了当代伊斯兰运动和趋势。伊斯兰主义最有效、最有影响力的政治思想家之一是Sayyid Qutb,他是20世纪50年代和60年代埃及穆斯林兄弟会的主要成员,也是暴力圣战的理论家。作为现代伊斯兰原教旨主义之父,他的思想为世界各地的许多伊斯兰组织,如基地组织、博科圣地和伊斯兰国,提供了框架和意识形态基础。虽然在某些情况下,政治精英操纵宗教来动员支持并进一步缩小政治利益,但政策继续认为宗教本身无法在社会中产生分裂是错误和危险的。本文从Sayyid Qutb政治思想的角度考察了政治伊斯兰教在三个主要领域的特征:文化意识形态、政治和社会经济,并反思了这些信仰如何影响尼日利亚的民族融合。该论文认为,政治伊斯兰与国家一体化不相容,因此国家一体化的未来在尼日利亚受到威胁。

ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISM AND RELIGIOUS CONFLICTS IN NIGERIA: REFLECTIONS ON THE BOKO HARAM INSURGENCE 伊斯兰原教旨主义与尼日利亚宗教冲突&对博科圣地叛乱的反思

The paper examines the nature, operations and driving force behind the Boko Haram insurgence in Nigeria. It argues that while portending Islamic fundamentalist credentials, Boko Haram is also representative of the socio-economic aspirations of most ordinary citizens in the Northeast of Nigeria who are excluded from the socio-economic spheres in modern Nigeria. Boko Haram posits both the irrelevance and decadence of the state and the need for its violent overthrow and establishment of pure Islamic society. It argues that even though Boko Haram cannot be fully explained by socio-economic factors, extant structural and socio-economic conditions in the Northeast produce many frustrated and deprived young people who feed into the fundamentalist aspirations of Boko Haram. Thus, the coincidence between socio-economic conditions in the Northeast which compares unfavorably with other zones in Nigeria; the structural deficiencies of the state and a long history of Islamic fundamentalism creates the conducive atmosphere for violent extremism represented by Boko Haram.
该报告调查了尼日利亚博科圣地叛乱的性质、行动和背后的驱动力。它认为,博科圣地虽然预示着伊斯兰原教旨主义的资格,但也代表了尼日利亚东北部被排除在现代尼日利亚社会经济领域之外的大多数普通公民的社会经济愿望。博科圣地提出了国家的无关紧要和颓废,以及暴力推翻和建立纯粹伊斯兰社会的必要性。它认为,尽管博科圣地不能完全用社会经济因素来解释,但东北地区现有的结构和社会经济条件产生了许多沮丧和贫困的年轻人,他们助长了博科圣地的原教旨主义愿望。因此,与尼日利亚其他地区相比,东北部的社会经济条件较差;国家的结构性缺陷和伊斯兰原教旨主义的悠久历史为博科圣地代表的暴力极端主义创造了有利的氛围。

LEFT, RIGHT, AND ANTISEMITISM IN EUROPEAN PUBLIC OPINION 左翼,右翼,以及欧洲舆论中的反犹主义

Antisemitism has long been found on both the political far-right and farleft. The recent rise in antisemitism worldwide raises the question of whether current antisemitism is found more with the far-right or far-left, the former a function of right-wing populism and the latter with what has been termed the new antisemitism. This paper uses data from the 2014 round of the European Social Survey in 20 nations to test for the connection between ideological selfplacement and antisemitic attitudes in mass publics. Analysis finds greater levels of antisemitism with the extreme far-right compared to the far-left, but extreme leftists appear slightly more antisemitic than moderate leftist. Further, there is less antisemitism than anti-Muslim and anti-Roma (Gypsy) attitudes at all positions on the left-right continuum. The conclusion puts the findings into context and suggests directions for future research.
反犹太主义长期以来一直存在于政治极右翼和极左翼。最近世界范围内反犹太主义的兴起引发了一个问题,即当前的反犹太论更多地出现在极右翼还是极左翼,前者是右翼民粹主义的一种功能,后者则是所谓的新反犹太派。本文使用2014年在20个国家进行的一轮欧洲社会调查的数据来测试大众中意识形态自我定位与反犹太主义态度之间的联系。分析发现,与极左翼相比,极右翼的反犹太主义程度更高,但极左翼似乎比温和左翼更反犹太论。此外,在左右连续体的所有位置上,反犹太主义的态度都少于反穆斯林和反罗姆人(吉普赛人)的态度。结论将这些发现置于背景中,并为未来的研究提出了方向。

The conclusion puts the findings into context and suggests directions for future research.","PeriodicalId":41271,"journal":{"name":"Politics and Religion Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46698093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The separation of church and state is a major component of the American political system and its civil religious mythol ogy. As an article of faith, it is widely regarded as a unique American heritage, constitutionally created and legally sustained. This paper challenges both its singularity and its legal dependence by placing the United States in comparative and cross-cultural perspec tive. Even within such nominally religious states as Indonesia, Pakistan, Sweden, and Thailand, there is far more separation than is widely supposed, as religion provides more political piety than governing influence. Since the similarities with the United States are at least as important as the differences, and since "separation" in these contexts is not a legal phenomenon, a more general sociopolit ical explanation seems in order. Hence, this paper offers a series of reasons for the gap between religion and government, drawing both on the politics of the state and on the societal position of religion itself. Not to put too fine a point on the matter, religion's capital is frequently maximized when it is not a capital religion.
政教分离是美国政治制度及其民间宗教神话的重要组成部分。作为一种信仰,它被广泛认为是一种独特的美国遗产,由宪法创造并由法律维持。本文将美国置于比较和跨文化的视角,挑战其独特性和法律依赖性。即使在印尼、巴基斯坦、瑞典和泰国等名义上的宗教国家,宗教之间的分离也比人们普遍认为的要严重得多,因为宗教提供的更多是政治虔诚,而不是统治影响力。由于与美国的相似之处至少与不同之处同样重要,而且由于在这些情况下“分离”不是一种法律现象,因此更一般的社会政治解释似乎是合理的。因此,本文从国家政治和宗教本身的社会地位两方面提出了一系列宗教与政府之间存在差距的原因。不要把问题说得太细,宗教的资本往往是最大化的,当它不是一个资本宗教。
