ABSTRACT Indonesian domestic workers (IDWs) have been frequently stereotyped as uneducated and submissive women with little or no bargaining power in transnational labour migration. This article examines why and how literacy practices help foster the activism of IDWs in Hong Kong. In particular, I seek to understand the significance of IDWs’ writing in relation to Islamic modernities. Using the framework of alternative modernities, I argue that the creative process of IDWs’ writing sheds light to their attempts to exercise individual and collective agency. Specifically, the article looks at the role of Forum Lingkar Pena (Pen Circle Forum, FLP) Hong Kong, an IDW writing community, to reveal how its collective literacy practices help affirm Islamic values as part of a modernisation process on IDWs’ own terms.
印尼家庭佣工(idw)经常被定型为未受过教育和顺从的妇女,在跨国劳动力迁移中几乎没有议价能力。本文探讨扫盲活动为何及如何促进香港残障人士的行动主义。特别是,我试图理解idw的写作与伊斯兰现代性的关系的意义。利用另类现代性的框架,我认为idw写作的创作过程揭示了他们行使个人和集体能动性的尝试。具体来说,这篇文章着眼于IDW写作社区Forum Lingkar Pena (Pen Circle Forum, FLP)香港的角色,以揭示其集体扫盲实践如何帮助确认伊斯兰价值观,并将其作为IDW自己的现代化进程的一部分。

A queer relationship? The construction of a New Zealand LGBTQ community choir and its host church 酷儿关系?新西兰LGBTQ社区合唱团及其主教堂的建设

ABSTRACT This article examines how a secular lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ) community choir in New Zealand negotiates a relationship with sacred repertoire, and the church in which the choir is located. A mixed-methods study included semi-structured interviews with 26 current and past members, musical directors and a church representative. Themes that emerged included tensions between religion and an LGBTQ cultural secularism, intersections of reconciliation and affirmation and the identity constitutive uses of space. Findings suggest that although, as LGBTQ-identified people, secularism is an important identity, sacred music is pleasurable. The choir provides church-like functions, through a sense of community, ritual and an environment for spiritual reflection and the practice of values. The church location offers reconciliation for those with Christian backgrounds. Benefitting each other, the choir gives St. Andrew’s legitimacy in its identity as an LGBTQ-inclusive church, and the church space has a queering effect on the presentation of the choir.
本文探讨了新西兰的一个世俗的女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别、酷儿(LGBTQ)社区合唱团是如何与神圣的剧目以及合唱团所在的教堂协商关系的。一项混合方法的研究包括对26名现任和前任成员、音乐总监和一名教会代表进行半结构化采访。出现的主题包括宗教与LGBTQ文化世俗主义之间的紧张关系,和解与肯定的交叉点以及空间的身份构成使用。研究结果表明,尽管作为lgbtq人群,世俗主义是一种重要的身份认同,但神圣的音乐是令人愉悦的。唱诗班提供类似教堂的功能,通过社区意识、仪式和精神反思和价值观实践的环境。教堂的位置为那些有基督教背景的人提供了和解。唱诗班相互受益,赋予了圣安德鲁作为一个包容lgbtq的教堂的身份合法性,教堂空间对唱诗班的呈现产生了酷儿效应。

‘Defending the family,’ safeguarding the nation: an examination of evangelical mobilisation in present-day Barbados “保卫家庭”,“保卫国家”:对当今巴巴多斯福音派动员的考察
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2018-09-26 DOI: 10.1080/14755610.2018.1523801

ABSTRACT This article addresses the connection between religion, culture and the family through a critical examination of evangelical Christians’ focus on ‘the family’ in Barbados, in 2015 and 2016. The intentions are to highlight Evangelical Christians’ strategic deployment of a common rhetoric or frame of ‘defending the family,’ which was put forward in public discourses relating to sex, sexuality, marriage and the family. This rhetoric draws upon and reproduces deep-seated anxieties around the state of the family as well as its connection to ideas of progress, freedoms, national sovereignty and the establishment of strong nations. The article also sheds sociological light on Evangelical mobilisations by exploring the socio-cultural context in which they are occurring. The presented analysis is based on a critical feminist discourse analysis of relevant local and regional newspaper articles, blogs and websites, observational research as well as a review of secondary qualitative and quantitative data and pre-existing scholarly literature.
摘要本文通过对2015年和2016年巴巴多斯福音派基督徒关注“家庭”的批判性考察,探讨了宗教、文化和家庭之间的联系。其目的是强调福音派基督徒在与性、性、婚姻和家庭有关的公共话语中提出的“捍卫家庭”的共同修辞或框架的战略部署。这种言论利用并再现了人们对家庭状况的根深蒂固的焦虑,以及家庭与进步、自由、国家主权和建立强大国家理念的联系。这篇文章还通过探索福音派动员发生的社会文化背景,揭示了福音派动员的社会学意义。所提出的分析基于对相关地方和地区报纸文章、博客和网站的批判性女权主义话语分析、观察研究以及对次要定性和定量数据以及已有学术文献的审查。

Sourcing stereotypes: constructing and challenging simplified knowledge 寻找原型:构建和挑战简化的知识

ABSTRACT The social media uproar in Fall 2017 over a nursing textbook chart that presented generalised characterisations of minority groups generated an assumption that medical training needs more Religious Studies expertise. Analysing the sources that the chart cited, we trace the authors’ assertions to studies of varying quality and identify several specific processes involved in simplifying knowledge for dissemination, as the authors disregarded the limits of each specific study and ignored counter-evidence or otherwise evaded critical scrutiny. Comparing this example to examples from world religions discourse illustrates both differences and similarities in the process of constructing simplified presentations. While both presumably developed out of good intentions, they generate significant problems in their effort to shape material to support larger arguments. Thus, scholars across disciplines should critique and complicate their own processes for generating simplified knowledge.
2017年秋季,一份护理教科书图表呈现了少数群体的总体特征,在社交媒体上引起了轩然大波,这引发了一种假设,即医学培训需要更多的宗教研究专业知识。分析图表引用的来源,我们将作者的断言追溯到不同质量的研究,并确定了简化知识传播所涉及的几个具体过程,因为作者忽视了每个特定研究的局限性,忽略了反证据或以其他方式逃避了批判性审查。将这个例子与世界宗教话语的例子进行比较,可以看出在构建简化表述的过程中既有差异也有相似之处。虽然两者都可能出于良好的意图,但它们在努力塑造材料以支持更大的论点时产生了重大问题。因此,跨学科的学者应该批判和复杂化他们自己产生简化知识的过程。

Between art tourism and ‘Protestant pilgrimage’: individual journeys to artworks in two churches of Reformed denomination near Bern, Switzerland 在艺术旅游和“新教朝圣”之间:瑞士伯尔尼附近两座改革派教堂的艺术品之旅
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2018-08-03 DOI: 10.1080/14755610.2018.1500381

ABSTRACT Can an individual trip to an artwork in a Protestant church, that evokes experiences of transcendence, be understood as a ‘Protestant pilgrimage’? The question is discussed with a historical example from the eighteenth century and a contemporary example from the twenty-first century, both of which refer to the transcendental dimension of (religious) art and raise the question about the interrelationship between art tourism and pilgrimage. Although the motivation for such journeys is often aesthetic and not spiritual, visitors may be deeply touched by the artworks and experience feelings that transcend the mundane present. If these examples are considered as ‘pilgrimages’ (and not only in a merely metaphorical sense), attention must be paid to their ecumenical, potentially heterodox character. For in the Reformed tradition, the importance of the pilgrimage is the journey itself, and not the final destination.
摘要:在新教教堂里,一次能唤起超越体验的个人艺术之旅,可以被理解为“新教朝圣”吗?这个问题是通过一个18世纪的历史例子和一个21世纪的当代例子来讨论的,这两个例子都提到了(宗教)艺术的超越维度,并提出了艺术旅游和朝圣之间的相互关系问题。尽管这种旅行的动机往往是审美而非精神,但游客可能会被这些艺术品深深打动,并体验到超越世俗的感受。如果这些例子被认为是“朝圣”(不仅仅是隐喻意义上的),就必须注意它们的普世性、潜在的异端性质。因为在改革派的传统中,朝圣的重要性在于旅程本身,而不是最终目的地。

Three Monkeys (2008): oblivion, anamnesis and the latent spectrality of hope 三只猴子(2008):遗忘、记忆和希望的潜在幽灵

ABSTRACT Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s films evoke landscapes, characters and themes of undisclosed longing; with provocative situations of desperation and stranded existences, Ceylanian trysts, landscapes and human encounters also tend to be tinged with the fleeting hue of nostalgic daydream, and the lustre of unspoken aches. So often in Ceylan’s films what is most important goes unsaid, and remains unsayable; with the open ciphers of lonely wanderers, something from beyond the images and dialogue of the films stirs. Three Monkeys (Üç Maymun) starts with a night sequence in which a lone man drives along an unlit and isolated road; he hits something – a human being. With this, Servet, an ambitious politician, takes the decision to drive away and leave the body. This self-interested decision kick-starts a sequence of events which soon implicates the lives and familial relationships of Servet’s driver Eyüp. This paper explores, analyses and discusses the characters and narrative of Ceylan’s Three Monkeys, using the philosophical frameworks of Ernst Bloch, Marc Augé and Friedrich Nietzsche.
摘要:奈瑞·比尔格·赛兰的电影唤起了风景、人物和未公开的渴望主题;在绝望和搁浅的挑衅性处境中,Ceylanian的幽会、风景和人类相遇也往往带有怀旧白日梦的转瞬即逝的色调和不言而喻的痛苦的光泽。在Ceylan的电影中,最重要的东西经常说不出来,而且仍然说不出来;随着孤独流浪者的开放密码,一些来自电影图像和对话之外的东西在搅动。《三只猴子》(ÜçMaymun)以一个夜晚的序列开始,在这个序列中,一个孤独的男人沿着一条没有灯光和与世隔绝的道路行驶;他击中了什么东西&一个人。有了这一点,雄心勃勃的政治家Servet决定开车离开尸体。这一自利的决定引发了一系列事件,很快就牵涉到了Servet司机Eyüp的生活和家庭关系。本文运用恩斯特·布洛赫、马克·奥热和弗里德里希·尼采的哲学框架,对塞兰的《三只猴子》的人物性格和叙事进行了探索、分析和探讨。

Access to excess: media as religion and the new cargo cults 接近过度:媒体作为宗教和新的货物崇拜
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2018-07-03 DOI: 10.1080/14755610.2018.1489865

ABSTRACT Recent studies of religion and the media generally assume the secular nature of the latter impacting on the former. Religious relevance is set against a media culture of screens and networks that purportedly shape and reshape the symbols of sacredness. Yet the media itself may also be regarded as constituting a form of sacredness in its generation of excess. Within an expanding digital universe, the media creates and channels an abundance of information to overwhelm the attention of billions of people. The power to access excess places the sacred in the resources and practices of interconnectedness made possible by the use of digital devices that readies populations to anticipate limitless flows of data. Parallels can be drawn with the cargo cults of Melanesia where natives in contact with their colonisers came to anticipate the arrival of unlimited wealth and goods. This comparison may be used to illustrate the dual face of the media as secular in its operating system and religious in its production of excess. It also raises the question of whether the secular in digital culture could be treated as if it were wholly autonomous of the religious.
最近对宗教和媒体的研究普遍认为后者对前者的影响具有世俗性质。宗教相关性是与屏幕和网络的媒体文化相抵触的,据称这些媒体文化塑造和重塑了神圣的象征。然而,媒体本身也可以被视为一种神圣的形式,因为它产生了过度。在一个不断扩大的数字宇宙中,媒体创造并传播了大量的信息,淹没了数十亿人的注意力。通过使用数字设备,人们可以预见到无限的数据流,从而使资源和互联互通的实践成为可能,而获取过剩数据的能力使其成为神圣的。这可以与美拉尼西亚的货物崇拜相提并论,在那里,与殖民者接触的当地人期待着无限财富和货物的到来。这种比较可以用来说明媒体的双重面貌,即在其操作系统上是世俗的,在其生产过剩方面是宗教的。这也提出了一个问题,即数字文化中的世俗是否可以被视为完全独立于宗教。

An emerging local musical voice at Grahamstown Anglican Cathedral: experiments in localisation Grahamstown圣公会大教堂一种新兴的当地音乐声音:本地化实验
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2018-07-02 DOI: 10.1080/14755610.2018.1489864
Andrew-John Bethke
ABSTRACT This article is an introduction to and analysis of experiments in localisation at Grahamstown Anglican Cathedral. To this end, three songs are presented, each composed or arranged by the junior choristers of the cathedral choir. The method of composition/arrangement is loosely based on experimental workshops conducted by David Dargie in the 1970s and 1980s with people across Southern Africa. The texts and music of the songs are analysed, with the express purpose of determining to what extent Southern African cultures have interacted with western cultures. A method of categorisation, derived from models developed by Huib Schippers and Akin Euba, is used to determine the depth of cultural contact. The author finds that in two of the songs there is evidence of creative and meaningful mingling of local and western cultures. The third song, being simply an arrangement of a local song, is more obviously Southern African, although it too shows influence of western harmonic conventions, albeit more superficially.
摘要本文介绍并分析了Grahamstown圣公会大教堂的本地化实验。为此,献上了三首歌曲,每首都由大教堂唱诗班的初级唱诗班成员创作或编曲。构图/编排的方法大致基于大卫·达吉在20世纪70年代和80年代与南部非洲各地的人们进行的实验研讨会。对歌曲的文本和音乐进行了分析,明确的目的是确定南部非洲文化与西方文化的互动程度。根据Huib Schippers和Akin Euba开发的模型,使用了一种分类方法来确定文化接触的深度。作者发现,在其中两首歌中,有证据表明当地和西方文化的创造性和有意义的融合。第三首歌,只是一首当地歌曲的编曲,更明显地是南部非洲歌曲,尽管它也显示了西方和声传统的影响,尽管更肤浅。

Abstract Religion, and in particular Christianity, is losing ground in the UK as fewer people identify as Christian and more people report having no religion. Although religion remains influential in politics, education and welfare, the role and legitimacy of religion in the public sphere is highly contested. This context of religious and cultural change provides the background for a case study of white, middle class, Christian men in the East Midlands and how they understand and experience citizenship in everyday life. The article examines how religious faith and citizenship are linked, and whether religion provides resources or barriers to citizenship. The article argues that the interviewed men draw on both status and practice based understandings of citizenship, and on both instrumental and expressive forms of masculinity, depending on context. Notably, some of the men invoke a defensive discourse in reference to alleged threats posed to Christianity by secular forces and by Islam. The findings have larger implications for the politics of belonging in the UK and Western Europe.
随着越来越少的人认为自己是基督徒,越来越多的人认为自己没有宗教信仰,宗教,尤其是基督教,在英国正在失去地位。虽然宗教在政治、教育和福利方面仍然具有影响力,但宗教在公共领域的作用和合法性却备受争议。这种宗教和文化变化的背景为东米德兰的白人中产阶级基督徒男性的案例研究提供了背景,以及他们在日常生活中如何理解和体验公民身份。本文探讨了宗教信仰与公民身份之间的联系,以及宗教是否为公民身份提供了资源或障碍。这篇文章认为,受访的男性根据对公民身份的地位和实践的理解,以及男性气概的工具性和表现性形式,根据具体情况而定。值得注意的是,其中一些人援引了一种防御性的话语,指的是世俗势力和伊斯兰教对基督教构成的威胁。这些发现对英国和西欧的归属感政治有着更大的影响。

Holy piracy: Kopimism, the sacralisation of information, and the legitimating power of religion 盗版:科普主义、信息神圣化和宗教合法化

Abstract Kopimism is a new religious movement predicated on, and revolving around, the assertion and belief that information is inherently sacred and needs to be copied and shared. Adherents to this Swedish-born religious movement have persisted in small pockets of devout communities around the world for almost a decade. This paper outlines a rudimentary and general sketch of the Kopimist worldview, its basic aims and its place within the contemporary religious landscape. In the latter part of this analysis, particular attention is given to the movement’s claim that it is not simply a sacralisation of political ideals – pirate politics, in particular – but that it maintains a distinct worldview and ethical system based on the notion that information – the foundation of everything – is itself divine. ‘Religion’ as a legitimating categorical force and the sociocultural conditions that engender new religious movements are also considered alongside the movement’s history and development.
科普主义是一种新的宗教运动,其基础和围绕的主张和信念是,信息本质上是神圣的,需要复制和共享。这个瑞典出生的宗教运动的信徒在世界各地的虔诚社区中坚持了近十年。本文概述了科普主义世界观的基本概况,其基本目标及其在当代宗教景观中的地位。在这篇分析的后半部分,我们特别关注了该运动的主张,即它不仅仅是一种政治理想的神圣化——尤其是海盗政治——而是它维持着一种独特的世界观和道德体系,这种世界观和道德体系基于信息这一概念——一切事物的基础——本身就是神圣的。“宗教”作为一种合法的绝对力量和产生新宗教运动的社会文化条件也与运动的历史和发展一起被考虑。
