ABSTRACT In contrast to forms of Buddhism popular in the West such as Vipassana meditation and Zen Buddhism which emphasize doctrinal study, meditation practice, and personal transformation above traditional rituals of deity yoga and merit-making, and Buddhist cosmology, Tibetan Buddhism retains its traditional framework of belief and practice. The worldwide Gelugpa Foundation for the Preservation of the Mahayana Tradition (FPMT) teaches the traditional practice of deity visualization, during which the meditator generates the view of the visualized deity as that of emptiness, the understanding that all objects, including buddhas, bodhisattvas, and deities are ultimately empty of inherent existence. Data obtained from fieldwork conducted at two FPMT centres: Vajrayana Institute in Sydney, Australia, and Kopan Monastery in Nepal, suggests an interpretation of the manner in which practitioners come to an appreciation of deity practice in the broader context of the FPMT's teachings. In outlining how this occurs, I discuss the role of doctrine including the ontological status of the deity, and the role of personal experience and both personal and traditional religious authority in this interpretive process. Here, I aim to add to scholarly understanding of how Western practitioners come to accept the traditional elements of non-Western religions such as forms of Tibetan Buddhism.
与西方流行的佛教形式(如内观冥想和禅宗)相比,藏传佛教保留了其传统的信仰和实践框架,这些形式强调教义研究,冥想练习和个人转化,而不是传统的神瑜伽和功德制造仪式以及佛教宇宙论。世界各地的格鲁派保存大乘传统基金会(FPMT)教授观神的传统修持,在此修持中,禅修者将观神视为空性,理解所有的物体,包括佛陀、菩萨和神,最终都是空的,没有内在的存在。从两个FPMT中心(澳大利亚悉尼的金刚乘学院和尼泊尔的科本修道院)进行的实地调查中获得的数据表明,在FPMT教义的更广泛背景下,从业者对神性实践的欣赏方式进行了解释。在概述这是如何发生的过程中,我讨论了教义的作用,包括神的本体论地位,以及个人经验的作用,以及个人和传统宗教权威在这一解释过程中的作用。在这里,我的目标是增加对西方修行者如何接受非西方宗教的传统元素,如藏传佛教形式的学术理解。

ABSTRACT Images of angry Muslims have become a common sight in repeated controversies problematising the compatibility of Islam and freedom of speech. To explain such outrage, it is often put forward that Muslims reacted to the disrespect and violation of their ‘religious feelings’. In this paper, we challenge the trope of hurt religious feelings in the explanation of unrest. Referring to the writings of Schleiermacher, James and Taylor, the discussion traces how religion and feeling have become inextricably intertwined, located within the individual self and institutionalised as a dominant interpretation of religion. We introduce affect as a conceptual alternative to such understandings, which allows us to analyse the emphasis on Muslim emotionality as a relationship between Muslim and secular bodies, hence no longer reduced to the interiority of Muslim subjects. We will illustrate the potential of an affect-based approach discussing Muslim feelings’ vital role in the construction of European democracies.
在伊斯兰教与言论自由是否相容的争议中,愤怒的穆斯林形象已经成为一个常见的景象。为了解释这种愤怒,人们经常提出,穆斯林对不尊重和侵犯他们的“宗教感情”做出了反应。在本文中,我们挑战了在解释动乱时伤害宗教感情的比喻。参考施莱尔马赫、詹姆斯和泰勒的著作,讨论追溯了宗教和情感是如何不可分割地交织在一起的,它们位于个人自我之中,并作为对宗教的主要解释而制度化。我们将情感作为这种理解的概念替代,这使我们能够分析穆斯林情感作为穆斯林与世俗身体之间关系的强调,因此不再被简化为穆斯林主体的内在性。我们将说明以情感为基础的方法讨论穆斯林情感在欧洲民主建设中的重要作用的潜力。

Cosplay in the pulpit and ponies at prayer: Christian faith and lived religion in wider fan culture 在讲坛上的角色扮演和祈祷中的小马:基督教信仰和更广泛的粉丝文化中的生活宗教

ABSTRACT This article examines the way in which Christian fans of popular media franchises have incorporated their fan identity into a lived religious experience, producing religious fan works such as fan fiction, art, and fan-themed church services. Based around a series of interviews with fans in the United States and the UK, both lay and clergy, it suggests the powerful affective connections forged through fandom, and examines the way in which fandom operates as a shared language to engage the wider fan community with theological ideas. Fans viewed their fandom as an arena through which God communicated and developed personal faith, working through fan texts and fan works to encourage and develop their connection to the divine. This article, therefore, challenges academic positions that see fandom as a secular replacement for religion, or as a form of blasphemous excess.
摘要本文探讨了流行媒体的基督教粉丝如何将他们的粉丝身份融入到真实的宗教体验中,创作出宗教粉丝作品,如粉丝小说、艺术和以粉丝为主题的教堂服务。基于对美国和英国非神职人员和神职人员粉丝的一系列采访,它表明了通过粉丝圈建立的强大情感联系,并考察了粉丝圈作为一种共享语言的运作方式,以使更广泛的粉丝群体参与神学思想。粉丝们将他们的粉丝圈视为上帝交流和发展个人信仰的舞台,通过粉丝文本和粉丝作品来鼓励和发展他们与上帝的联系。因此,这篇文章挑战了将粉丝视为宗教的世俗替代品或亵渎过度的一种形式的学术立场。

Gender, sect and shrine: discursive contestations at Bibi Pak Daman, Lahore 性别,教派和神社:拉合尔比比帕克达曼的话语争论

ABSTRACT The syncretic traditions and practices at a shrine can defy the prevalence of rationalistic bureaucratisation and authorised tradition along a number of vectors. One can find such activities at one of the most thriving shrines of Lahore, Pakistan, that of Bibi Pak Daman. Not only is this site unusual because of the veneration of women spiritual figures, additionally the contesting claims and practices found at this site map onto sectarian (Sunni-Shia) boundaries and challenge the very origin, found in modern historiographical narratives, of the shrine. Cleavages around gender and sect increase with the administrative taking over of the shrine by the postcolonial state of Pakistan, which is ideologically determined to wipe out pluralistic practices in the name of modernisation. Interestingly, this study shows that, contrary to disenchantment arising from bureaucratic modernisation, rationalising claims perversely add a few more localised practices giving depth to the shrines sacred geography and make no difference to devotee numbers.
神社的融合传统和实践可以沿着一些向量对抗理性主义官僚化和授权传统的盛行。人们可以在巴基斯坦拉合尔最繁荣的圣地之一比比帕克达曼找到这样的活动。这个地方不寻常,不仅因为对女性精神人物的崇拜,而且在这个地方发现的有争议的主张和做法映射了宗派(逊尼派-什叶派)的界限,并挑战了现代史学叙述中发现的神社的起源。后殖民时期的巴基斯坦政府在意识形态上决心以现代化的名义抹去多元化的做法,随着对圣地的行政接管,围绕性别和教派的分歧也在加剧。有趣的是,这项研究表明,与官僚主义现代化带来的觉醒相反,合理化的主张反常地增加了一些更本地化的做法,赋予了神社的神圣地理深度,对信徒人数没有影响。

Ethical narratives, street kitchens and doing religious difference amongst post-migrant communities in contemporary Britain 当代英国后移民社区的道德叙事、街头厨房和宗教差异

ABSTRACT Street kitchens organised by religious groups in response to food poverty and homelessness have become a ubiquitous feature of British cities. Although a good deal of literature has explored this genre of social action, relatively little has analysed it as a feature of religious practice associated with post-migrant communities. This paper uses data drawn from ethnographic research on Sikh and Muslim street kitchens in two British cities to consider the significance of such initiatives amongst Britain’s South Asian communities. The paper focuses on the role of narrative in this context, deploying Ingold’s notion of ‘storied knowledge’ to analyse fluid, emergent ethical practices expressed through religion-related stories. These practices, envisaged here as ‘religioning’, draw on South Asian religious traditions creatively reconfigured in the postcolonial city. I argue that such developments constitute a significant diasporic intervention into settled accounts of ‘faith’ as a vehicle for ethical citizenship in British urban environments.
摘要宗教团体为应对食物贫困和无家可归问题而组织的街头厨房已成为英国城市的一大特色。尽管大量文献探讨了这一类型的社会行动,但相对较少的文献将其作为与后移民社区相关的宗教实践的特征进行分析。本文使用了从英国两个城市锡克教徒和穆斯林街头厨房的民族志研究中获得的数据,来考虑这些举措在英国南亚社区中的重要性。本文聚焦于叙事在这一背景下的作用,运用英格尔的“传奇知识”概念来分析通过宗教相关故事表达的流动的、新兴的道德实践。这些做法在这里被设想为“宗教化”,借鉴了后殖民城市创造性地重新配置的南亚宗教传统。我认为,这种发展构成了对“信仰”的重大流散干预,“信仰”是英国城市环境中道德公民身份的载体。

Hackneying hybridity? Fending off ‘foreignness’, Khoja Community and hybridisation in The Magic of Saida 破解杂交?在《赛达的魔法》中抵御“外来”、Khoja社区和杂交

ABSTRACT In the context of colonialism, religion and culture, the theory of cultural hybridity has assumed paramount importance due to its ineluctable nature. However, as most critics and theorists have suggested, the concept gestures at the precedence and prior existence of purity and this perception is exceedingly contentious. This article examines the various layers of hybridisation, Khoja Community (specifically Ismaili faith) and the complexities that it inherently contains and focuses on the argument that while Hybridity is contestable due to its ever-shifting connotations and inherent ambiguity, the so-called ‘differences’ in textual representation, culture and religion, actually move forward towards a homogenous state. To study the subject, the study focuses on the narrative, The Magic of Saida, by M. G. Vassanji. Like his trajectory through continents, his characters too traverse the oceans, and explore in new lands through the forces of acculturation and hybridisation. Despite, the seemingly forces of admixture, what is palpable is the ability of readers to discern the ‘differences’ in the intermixed format. If the differences are ostensible in hybridised version, can the resulting creation be called hybridised? This paper investigates this idea and is premised on how the theory is self-contradicting.
摘要在殖民主义、宗教和文化的背景下,文化混杂理论由于其不可避免的性质而具有极其重要的地位。然而,正如大多数评论家和理论家所建议的那样,这个概念表明了纯洁性的优先性和先验性,这种看法极具争议。本文考察了混合性的各个层面,Khoja社区(特别是伊斯梅利信仰)及其固有的复杂性,并重点讨论了这样一种论点,即尽管混合性由于其不断变化的内涵和固有的模糊性而具有争议性,但所谓的文本表征、文化和宗教的“差异”,实际上是朝着同质状态前进。为了研究这一主题,本研究的重点是M·G·瓦桑吉的叙事作品《赛达的魔法》。就像他穿越大陆的轨迹一样,他的角色也穿越海洋,通过文化融合和杂交的力量探索新的土地。尽管存在着看似混合的力量,但显而易见的是读者辨别混合格式中“差异”的能力。如果差异表面上是杂交版本,那么由此产生的创造可以被称为杂交吗?本文研究了这一观点,并以该理论如何自相矛盾为前提。

‘Everyone who wants to, can be a Körtti’: how young people negotiate the religious space of a revivalist movement “每个人都可以成为Körtti”:年轻人如何在复兴运动的宗教空间中谈判

ABSTRACT 19th century Protestant revivalist movements have played an important role in Nordic societies at large. In this article, I explore young people’s socio-spatial construction of the Awakening movement, one of the largest traditional yet vibrant revivalist movements under the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland. In doing so, I aim to reveal how youths define their collective religious identity in a time when non-institutional and private emphasis on religion prevails. In addition, vague membership, ritual-centred participation, and the significance of the annual gathering raise topical questions regarding belonging. I build my analysis on Henri Lefebvre’s theory of the production of social space. The research data consist of interviews with young people (aged 14–18) and the narratives the young people wrote themselves. These data are complemented with my observations from the movement’s summer gathering. The findings reveal the agency of the young people as ‘inhabitants’ (Lefebvre) of tradition-based religious space.
摘要19世纪的新教复兴运动在北欧社会中发挥了重要作用。在这篇文章中,我探讨了年轻人对觉醒运动的社会空间建构,觉醒运动是芬兰福音路德教会领导下最大的传统但充满活力的复兴运动之一。通过这样做,我的目的是揭示在非机构和私人对宗教的重视盛行的时代,年轻人是如何定义他们的集体宗教身份的。此外,模糊的成员资格、以仪式为中心的参与以及年度聚会的重要性都引发了关于归属的热门问题。我对列斐伏尔的社会空间生产理论进行了分析。研究数据包括对年轻人(14-18岁)的采访和年轻人自己写的故事。这些数据与我在该运动夏季聚会上的观察结果相辅相成。研究结果揭示了年轻人作为传统宗教空间的“居民”(列斐伏尔)的能动性。

The findings reveal the agency of the young people as ‘inhabitants’ (Lefebvre) of tradition-based religious space.","PeriodicalId":45190,"journal":{"name":"Culture and Religion","volume":"20 1","pages":"104 - 123"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/14755610.2019.1571522","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44615638","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}

ABSTRACT Although Malaysian trans men experience discrimination and stigmatisation, their vicissitudes are under-documented. This article uncovers the negotiations and innovations of Malaysian Christian trans men in relation to their Christian faith. By using Constructivist Grounded Theory Methodology to analyse and interpret selected narratives of four Christian trans men, and building on Jason Cromwell’s theoretical insistence on meaningful self-representation of trans people by trans people, this article discloses how trans men reconfigure these beliefs to affirm their gender nonconformity through three major strategies. First, trans men engage in the meaning-making of faith through an intimate relationship with God/Christ or ascribe some fortuitous event to divine intervention. Second, those who experience the love of God/Christ embark on a self-appointed mission to educate and radiate love, namely to those who are antagonistic towards gender nonconformity. Third, some trans men deem it necessary to challenge official Christian approaches and attitudes that pertain to gender variance and sexual diversity.
摘要尽管马来西亚跨性别男性经历了歧视和污名化,但他们的变迁却没有得到充分的记录。本文揭示了马来西亚基督教跨性别者在基督教信仰方面的谈判和创新。本文运用建构主义基础理论方法对四位基督教跨性别男性的叙事进行分析和解读,并在杰森·克伦威尔关于跨性别者对跨性别者有意义的自我表征的理论坚持的基础上,揭示了跨性别男性如何通过三大策略重新配置这些信念来确认他们的性别不一致性。首先,跨性别男性通过与上帝/基督的亲密关系参与信仰的意义创造,或者将一些偶然事件归因于神的干预。其次,那些经历了上帝/基督之爱的人开始了一项自我任命的使命,即教育和辐射爱,即那些反对性别不一致的人。第三,一些跨性别男性认为有必要挑战基督教官方对性别差异和性多样性的态度。
