It is no longer a novelty in Religious Studies that translations play an integral role in questions of (inter-)cultural contact, comparison, and identity. But the question of what translation means, how it relates to interpretation, and the role of text, language, and practice has not been adequately addressed. In recent years, feminist historical research has published some ground-breaking work addressing this very question. This article uses a cross-disciplinary (literature studies, feminist translation studies and religious studies) approach to examine four different Ramayana versions in late colonial Ceylon and India (1900–1930) written by the Theosophists Annie Besant, Marie Musaeus Higgins and Leelawathy Ramanathan for the purpose of girls’ education. The differing portrayals of Sita as the “perfect wife” will be used to highlight the importance of theories of translation for the study of global religious history.
在宗教研究中,翻译在(跨)文化接触、比较和身份认同问题上发挥着不可或缺的作用,这已不再是一个新鲜事物。但是,关于翻译的意义、翻译与口译的关系、文本、语言和实践的作用等问题还没有得到充分的解决。近年来,女权主义历史研究发表了一些开创性的研究成果来解决这个问题。本文采用跨学科(文学研究、女权主义翻译研究和宗教研究)的方法,研究了殖民末期锡兰和印度(1900-1930)由神智学家安妮·贝桑特、玛丽·穆塞乌斯·希金斯和利拉瓦西·拉马纳坦为女孩教育而写的四种不同的罗摩亚那版本。对西达作为“完美妻子”的不同描述将被用来强调翻译理论对全球宗教史研究的重要性。

This contribution outlines the project of a global history of religion that examines the historical formations and epistemic structures in non-European regions prior to the encounter with Europeans just as much as the current entanglements of the global discourse on religion. Based on a case study of the encounter between Tibetans and Catholic missionaries in 18th century Lhasa, three important aspects in the project of a global history of religion will be discussed: comparison, both at the subject level and as a scholarly method; the practice of translation; and finally the genealogical tracing of taxonomic orders in non-European regions beyond colonial orders. In addition, a suggestion is offered to expand our analytical repertoire to include non-European worlds of experience in a conceptual-historical approach.
这一贡献概述了全球宗教史的项目,考察了与欧洲人相遇之前非欧洲地区的历史形成和认知结构,就像当前全球宗教话语的纠缠一样。本文以18世纪拉萨藏人与天主教传教士相遇的个案研究为基础,探讨了全球宗教史研究的三个重要方面:在学科层面和学术方法上的比较;翻译实践;最后是超越殖民目的非欧洲地区分类学目的系谱追踪。此外,还建议扩大我们的分析曲目,以概念历史方法包括非欧洲世界的经验。

Exploring Individualisation Processes in Western Buddhism: A Multi-thematic Analysis of Interviews with English and Italian Practitioners 探讨西方佛教的个体化进程:对英语和意大利修行者访谈的多主题分析
IF 0.3 Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-06-19 DOI: 10.30965/23642807-10020021

Amongst the studies concerning Buddhism in the West, until now few have attempted to make an empirically based comparison between Buddhist practitioners from countries with different socio-religious backgrounds. This paper aims to contribute to filling this gap by analysing thirty multi-thematic qualitative interviews with lay practitioners connected in a variety of modalities to diverse Buddhist groups from England and Italy. The theoretical framework combines the concepts of individualisation, subjectivisation and bricolage to analyse the range of Buddhist interpretations and self-descriptions. The main research questions are: 1. What are the differences and affinities between practitioners of different nationalities belonging to diverse Buddhist traditions? 2. What is gained by applying the analytical framework? The paper argues that in most cases the decisive element is not nationality, but rather the connection with a specific Buddhist school. Furthermore, practitioners shape and at times challenge the ongoing processes examined in the theoretical framework.
在有关西方佛教的研究中,迄今为止很少有人试图对不同社会宗教背景的国家的佛教从业者进行实证比较。本文旨在通过分析30个多主题的定性访谈来填补这一空白,这些访谈与来自英国和意大利的不同佛教团体的各种形式的俗家从业者有关。该理论框架结合了个体化、主体化和拼凑的概念,分析了佛教诠释和自我描述的范围。主要的研究问题有:1。属于不同佛教传统的不同民族的修行者之间有什么差异和相似之处?2. 应用分析框架得到了什么?本文认为,在大多数情况下,决定性因素不是国籍,而是与特定佛教学派的联系。此外,从业者塑造,有时挑战正在进行的过程在理论框架检查。

Why Do European Buddhists Meditate? The Practical Problem of Inventing Global Buddhism 为什么欧洲佛教徒要冥想?创立全球佛教的现实问题
IF 0.3 Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-06-19 DOI: 10.30965/23642807-10020022
Laurence Cox
Globalising “Buddhism” beyond its pre-colonial homelands was a complex practical challenge. Actors seeking to bring Buddhism to new audiences in very different cultures met with failure far more often than success until recent decades. Modern-era Buddhist missionaries to Europe had to experiment, selecting elements of Asian Buddhism that could theoretically be transmitted – ordinations, preaching, textual knowledge, rituals etc. – and attempt to institutionalise these as conversion mechanisms.This article uses the lens of Irish and British converts and sympathisers in Asia and Europe in the late C19th and early C20th centuries to explore the European situation – one with fewer Asian missionaries and different relationships between society and religion than those in North America. It explores the sources of their various versions of Buddhism; their organising techniques and repertoires of “Buddhist” activity, their audiences and how they defined “Buddhism” in relation to politics, ethnicity and colonialism. It argues that meditation (and “practice”) became central to European Buddhism because it solved a crucial organisational problem: what could Buddhist globalisers offer to turn audiences into Buddhists?
让“佛教”走出前殖民时期的故土,全球化是一项复杂的实际挑战。直到最近几十年,试图将佛教带给不同文化背景的新观众的演员遭遇的失败远远多于成功。近代前往欧洲的佛教传教士必须进行实验,选择理论上可以传播的亚洲佛教元素——受戒、讲道、经文知识、仪式等——并试图将这些作为皈依机制制度化。本文以19世纪末和20世纪初亚洲和欧洲的爱尔兰和英国皈依者和同情者为视角,探讨欧洲的情况——亚洲传教士较少,社会与宗教之间的关系与北美不同。它探讨了他们各种佛教版本的来源;他们组织“佛教”活动的技巧和技巧,他们的受众,以及他们如何将“佛教”与政治、种族和殖民主义联系起来。它认为,冥想(和“修行”)之所以成为欧洲佛教的核心,是因为它解决了一个至关重要的组织问题:佛教全球化者能提供什么让听众变成佛教徒?

Asian NRMs in the Czech Republic: Consequences of Their Recognition by State in the Era of Religious Freedom 捷克共和国的亚洲新宗教团体:宗教自由时代国家承认他们的后果

Martin Fárek, Artur Boháč
This article discusses the effects of legislative conditions that the Czech governmental recognition of the NRMs with Asian roots as religious organizations bring to the movements themselves. It strives to answer two interconnected questions: Is there a specific cultural or religious character of the demands which the Czech legislation put on the candidates for governmental recognition? What happens when NRMs with Asian roots react to these demands while striving for the status of recognized religious organization? The possibility that the set of characteristics assumed to define any religious organization in Czech law basically follows the pattern of the established Christian Churches, as a tentative answer to the first question, opens an important direction for finding answers to the second question. The article also provides summary and discussion of the legislative changes in the Czech Republic pertaining to these two questions, and describes the development of several NRMs with Asian roots in the country.
本文讨论了捷克政府承认具有亚洲血统的新农会为宗教组织所带来的立法条件对运动本身的影响。它力求回答两个相互关联的问题:捷克立法对政府承认的候选人提出的要求是否具有特定的文化或宗教特征?当具有亚洲血统的新农会在争取获得公认宗教组织地位的同时,对这些要求作出反应时,会发生什么?捷克法律中用来界定任何宗教组织的一套特征基本上遵循已确立的基督教会的模式,作为对第一个问题的初步回答,这种可能性为寻找第二个问题的答案开辟了一个重要的方向。本文还对捷克共和国有关这两个问题的立法变化进行了总结和讨论,并描述了该国几个具有亚洲根源的NRMs的发展。

Post-secular Feminist Research: The Concept of “Lived” Religion and Double Critique 后世俗女性主义研究:“活的”宗教概念与双重批判
IF 0.3 Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-05-24 DOI: 10.30965/23642807-bja10072
Sabine Grenz
In feminist research on religion, women and gender, the concepts of “lived religion” as well as “agency as doing religion” take a prominent place. Both include an intersubjective and mostly partial perspective. However, against the background of current developments concerning a global religious right, the paper argues for the inclusion of a critical perspective through the methodology of a double critique that includes both an analysis of power relations that marginalize women in religious groups and an analysis of women’s reproduction of gendered as well as racialized power relations. This argument is embedded in the complexity of post-secular feminist research including research on women, gender and religion, feminist critiques of secularism (and of anti-Muslim discourses), feminist, queer and trans theologies, and research on the religious right and their anti-feminist politics. The paper suggests to take feminist theologies and feminist spiritualities/religious practices as reference point for such an analysis.
在女性主义对宗教、女性和性别的研究中,“活的宗教”和“做宗教的代理”的概念占据了突出的位置。两者都包括主体间性和大部分是局部的视角。然而,在当前全球宗教权利发展的背景下,本文主张通过双重批判的方法,包括对宗教团体中边缘化妇女的权力关系的分析,以及对性别化和种族化权力关系的妇女再生产的分析,纳入批判的视角。这一论点植根于后世俗女权主义研究的复杂性中,包括对女性、性别和宗教的研究,对世俗主义(以及反穆斯林话语)的女权主义批评,女权主义、酷儿和变性神学,以及对宗教权利及其反女权主义政治的研究。本文建议以女性主义神学和女性主义灵性/宗教实践作为分析的参考点。

Of Crops, Dragons, and Re-enchanted Landscapes. John Michell’s Impact on British Earth Mysteries 庄稼,龙,和重施魔法的风景。约翰·米歇尔对英国地球之谜的影响

The English writer John Michell (1933–2009) occupied a significant position within British alternative religion. Michell’s manifold books revolve around his life-long aim to re-enchant the English landscape and launch a new golden age. Michell was a devoted Traditionalist and is widely considered the founding father of the vast field of British Earth Mysteries. Associated groups embrace speculative theories of the earth, claiming the existence of telluric (dragon) energies. As Michell’s impact on such groups is widely acknowledged, within the context of Earth Mysteries, this article centers on cerealogy and the Dragon Environmental Network as examples in exploring Michell’s discursive and enduring influence.
英国作家约翰·米歇尔(1933-2009)在英国另类宗教中占有重要地位。米歇尔的众多著作围绕着他的毕生目标,即重新为英国风景增添魅力,开启一个新的黄金时代。米歇尔是一位虔诚的传统主义者,被广泛认为是英国地球神秘学领域的奠基人。相关团体信奉地球的推测理论,声称大地(龙)能量的存在。由于米歇尔对这些群体的影响得到了广泛的认可,在《地球之谜》的背景下,本文以cereology和Dragon环境网络为例,探讨米歇尔的话语和持久的影响。

The Church’s Extrincist Response to the Pandemic: Re-reading the Church’s Acquiescence to Regulations in Agamben’s Wake 教会对大流行的极端主义反应:重新解读阿甘本之后教会对法规的默许
IF 0.3 Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2023-04-18 DOI: 10.30965/23642807-bja10070
E. Beltramini
In this article, I return to Giorgio Agamben’s intervention on the pandemic to reflect on one of his claims, namely the mundanity of the Roman Catholic Church. Agamben comes to this conclusion after reporting about the passive response of the Church to the state-of-emergency legislation and the “barbaric” conditions of social relationships that followed. These conditions, and not the conspiracy theories on the invention of an epidemic to extend forms of social control, are the primary focus of Agamben’s concern. I confine Agamben’s critique of the Church with a stipulation concerning the extrincist character of the Church’s reaction to the recent epidemic crisis. I argue that, due to the extrincist character of that reaction, the temporal power of the state has proven itself necessary to the defeat of the pandemic, but the spiritual power of the Church has manifested itself as superfluous.
在这篇文章中,我回到乔治·阿甘本(Giorgio Agamben)对大流行病的干预,以反思他的一个主张,即罗马天主教会的世俗性。Agamben在报告了教会对紧急状态立法的被动反应以及随之而来的社会关系的"野蛮"状况之后,得出了这一结论。阿甘本关注的主要焦点是这些情况,而不是关于发明流行病以扩大社会控制形式的阴谋论。我在阿甘本对教会的批评中限定了一条规定,即教会对最近流行病危机的反应具有极端主义性质。我认为,由于这种反应的极端主义性质,国家的世俗权力已被证明是战胜大流行病所必需的,但教会的精神力量已被证明是多余的。

Agamben comes to this conclusion after reporting about the passive response of the Church to the state-of-emergency legislation and the “barbaric” conditions of social relationships that followed. These conditions, and not the conspiracy theories on the invention of an epidemic to extend forms of social control, are the primary focus of Agamben’s concern. I confine Agamben’s critique of the Church with a stipulation concerning the extrincist character of the Church’s reaction to the recent epidemic crisis. I argue that, due to the extrincist character of that reaction, the temporal power of the state has proven itself necessary to the defeat of the pandemic, but the spiritual power of the Church has manifested itself as superfluous.","PeriodicalId":53191,"journal":{"name":"Interdisciplinary Journal for Religion and Transformation in Contemporary Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85260065","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 Chinese, both in China and in an international migration setting, are commonly regarded as the world’s most secular population. However, the relationship between Chinese people and Chinese Popular Religion is nuanced and survey data, more often than not, do not account for the plethora of religious activities Chinese people engage in despite simultaneously self-identifying as secular. This paper examines the supposed secularity of Chinese immigrant families living in Edinburgh. It asserts that although self-identifying as secular, these families engage in undeniable religious activity and possess religious beliefs. Crucially, there is a marked difference between the beliefs pertaining to secularity of the parents and their children, with the former being adamant in their secularity and the latter being more willing to acknowledge the complicated relationship between religion and the secular.
中国人,无论是在中国还是在国际移民背景下,都被普遍认为是世界上最世俗的人口。然而,中国人与中国民间宗教之间的关系是微妙的,调查数据往往不能解释中国人从事的过多的宗教活动,尽管同时自我认定为世俗的。本文考察了居住在爱丁堡的中国移民家庭的世俗性。它断言,尽管自我认同为世俗,这些家庭从事不可否认的宗教活动,并拥有宗教信仰。至关重要的是,父母和孩子的世俗信仰之间存在着明显的差异,前者坚持自己的世俗信仰,而后者更愿意承认宗教与世俗之间的复杂关系。
