The study of religion has been greatly enhanced in recent years by the new emphasis on lived religion and materiality (Meyer et al. 2011). It also impels us to consider how the aesthetic factors into the interpretation of religious worlds (Meyer 2009). Moreover, the shift in academic focus from beliefs and texts to practice and the sensorium has generated stimulating new questions about religious communication and mediation (Morgan 2009). Surprisingly, music and extramusical sound receive scant attention despite the significance of sound and hearing in our lives. Scholars of religion have been slow to engage the multidisciplinary boom in sound studies of the last few years (Keeling & Kun 2011).2 In what follows I discuss some of the historical biases and methodological challenges related to studying religion from an acoustic and auditory perspective. I review the work of some authors who have overcome what Isaac Weiner calls our ‘disciplinary deafness’ (2009, 897) and made the ‘sound of the sacred’ a centerpiece of their research and publications.3 In the course of the essay, I identify some of the topics that are arguably integral to the development of a more sonically aware religious studies, as well as areas that await more study. The undervaluation of sound in the academic study of religion is linked to the privileging of sight over sound in Western modernity, whereby the aural as a spiritual sense is diminished (Chidester 1992; Schmidt 2002).

近年来，由于对生活宗教和物质性的新重视，宗教研究得到了极大的加强(Meyer et al. 2011)。这也促使我们考虑美学因素如何进入宗教世界的解释(Meyer 2009)。此外，学术焦点从信仰和文本转向实践和感官，产生了关于宗教交流和调解的新问题(Morgan 2009)。令人惊讶的是，尽管声音和听觉在我们的生活中很重要，但音乐和非音乐的声音却很少受到关注。在过去的几年里，宗教学者在参与多学科繁荣的健全研究方面进展缓慢(Keeling & Kun 2011)在接下来的内容中，我将讨论一些与从声学和听觉角度研究宗教相关的历史偏见和方法论挑战。我回顾了一些作者的工作，他们克服了艾萨克·韦纳所说的“学科失聪”(2009,897)，并将“神圣之声”作为他们研究和出版物的核心在这篇文章的过程中，我确定了一些主题，这些主题可以说是一个更有声音意识的宗教研究的发展不可或缺的一部分，以及等待更多研究的领域。宗教学术研究中对声音的低估与西方现代性中视觉优于声音的特权有关，因此听觉作为一种精神感觉被削弱了(Chidester 1992;施密特2002)。此外，听被认为是最被动的感官

Much has been written about the persistent and rapid decline of churchgoing among all sections of the British population, women as well as men, although women still constitute the majority in most congregations (Brierley 2003; 2006; Brown 2001; 2006; 2010; Bruce 2002; Crockett & Voas 2006; Heelas & Woodhead 2005; McLeod 2007). Rather less attention has been paid in Britain to returning to churchgoing. The article considers the cases of a small group of women, aged 40 and upwards, part of a larger study, most of whom have returned to church after a considerable absence, and the reasons they give for their return. Five newer approaches to the study of religiosity are then briefly introduced, the better to explain and analyse the forms taken by this particular renewed commitment within the Christian church in Britain today.

Tango artist Astor Piazzolla’s composition, ‘La muerte del angel’, serves as inspiration for a few reflections on the relationship between enlightenment and enchantment in the 21st century. Piazzolla wrote the fugue as accompaniment to a play, ‘Tango del angel’, about an angel who tries to heal broken human spirits in Buenos Aires and ends up dying in a knife fight. Drawing on tango’s melancholy, longing, and hesitant hoping, I share stories from my travels where I engage with the struggle to sustain an ethnographic art that brings heart to the process of knowing the world.
探戈艺术家Astor Piazzolla的作品《天使之死》(La muerte del angel)启发了人们对21世纪启蒙与魅力之间关系的思考。这首赋格曲是皮亚佐拉为一部名为《天使的探戈》的戏剧所作的伴奏，这部戏剧讲述了一位天使在布宜诺斯艾利斯试图治愈破碎的人类灵魂，结果却死于一场械斗。凭借探戈的忧郁、渴望和犹豫的希望，我分享了我在旅行中的故事，在那里我参与了维持一种民族志艺术的斗争，这种艺术将心灵带入了了解世界的过程。

Enlightenment is a powerful intellectual and cultural movement which has vigorously promoted the idea of progress. However, the value-laden notion of progress is in many ways ambiguous even when it is restricted to some special area, such as science, art, technology, or politics. Some critics, who otherwise favor the Enlightenment commitment to education and research, have argued that progress is a myth. Some others regard Enlightenment as a transitory period of modernity, already surpassed by disillusioned postmodernism. Considering the philosophical aspects of these debates, my melioristic conclusion in this article is that progress is still a viable possibility or prospect: even though there is no general historical law which would make progress of the humanity necessary, it is up to us to hold up the values of the Enlightenment in our striving for a better world.

Habitual religiosity, i.e. the buildup and maintenance of religious habits, hinges on the embodied dimensions of religious memory. The processes involved can be conceptualised using Pierre Bourdieu’s theory on the habitus and Paul Connerton’s outline of the dynamics of habit-memory and habits. With the help of these theoretical tools, I analyse interview material concerning the daily religious practices of evacuee Karelian Orthodox women, focusing specifically on three basic customs: making the sign of the cross, prayer, and the veneration of icons. These I investigate 1) as practices largely governed by the native layer of the women’s habitus; 2) as habits that continue to structure the habitus; 3) as habits incorporating cultural content; and 4) as customs influenced by the cumulative weight of the women’s habit-memory. The discussion offers a view of evacuee Karelian Or thodox women’s life-long investment in religion, and shows how in the perpetuation of this form of religiosity, small practices can bear great significance.

The article examines ways in which the views of biblical scholars as to the transmission of early Christian traditions, especially the Jesus traditions, have been revolutionized by so-called orality/literacy studies since Werner Kelber’s seminal The Oral and the Written Gospel (1983). In the 2000s, an important turn in the study of orality and literacy in early Christianity took place with the discovery of memory. This has given rise to a focus on theories of collective memory and more recently on the cognitive aspects of individual memory, producing fresh new insights into the close intertwining of orality and literacy in ancient literary activity. The last part of the article brings up the role of ritual in the transmission of early Christian traditions, an aspect that has received less attention in the discussion. For purposes of further analysis, three perspectives on the role of ritual in the study of orality and textuality in early Christianity are highlighted and elaborated. The first underscores the need for a fresh analysis of the numerous liturgical passages in the New Testament identified by the generation of form critics. The second focuses on oral-aural (‘liturgical’) aspects of early Christian literature as part of the larger phenomenon of Greco-Roman literary culture, in which literacy was defined by public performance and recitation to a degree that differs substantially from the modern use of printed books. The last perspective highlights the important question of ritual’s capacity to function as an instrument of religious teaching and doctrinal consolidation.
