摘要

不幸的是,这是一个文化和宗教问题,有些滞后。今年(2019年)1月,我与自己的死亡有过一次非常亲密的接触——我因主动脉夹层(主动脉撕裂)接受了紧急心脏直视手术,由于爱丁堡皇家医院的出色医疗护理,我才得以幸存。(为此,我对苏格兰国家医疗服务体系的“社会化”全民医疗体系赞不绝口,它让所有人都能接受这种拯救生命的手术。我仍在康复过程中。因此,我对这一问题最终确定的延迟向所有人道歉。就在我写这篇文章的时候,我们离该杂志成立20周年只有几个月的时间了。当第21.1期在2020年第一季度的某个时候发行时,《文化与宗教》创刊已经20年了(早在2000年初,当时是寇松出版社的一本两年一度的期刊)。正如你所料,从那时起,无论是对杂志还是对我作为编辑来说,都有很多连续性和变化。但是,文化与宗教所服务的学科和研究领域也发生了变化和发展,这在很大程度上是1999年无法轻易预见的。我打算在二十周年纪念版的一篇社论中更详细地阐述这一点,同时讨论我希望看到该杂志——当然还有宗教和文化研究——在未来二十年的发展(希望我仍能看到)。有鉴于此,尽管在这段时间里,有很多优秀的学者在与该杂志职权范围相近的领域进行了研究、撰写和发表——其中一些我们很高兴在这里发表——但我认为2019/20年的情况有些消极和令人沮丧,尤其是在英国(当然,尽管英国脱欧)。英国公共政府领导的十年紧缩政策和高学费的引入严重挤压了(也就是说,在很大程度上摧毁了)大学宗教研究的教学(见英国科学院2019),因此,幸存的单位不得不利用他们所能找到的任何资金和机会。《文化与宗教2019》,第20卷,第3期,225–230https://doi.org/10.1080/14755610.2019.1705030

Editorial
Unfortunately, this is a somewhat delayed issue of Culture and Religion. In January of this year (2019), I had a very close encounter with my mortality – I underwent emergency open-heart surgery for an aortic dissection (a splitting of my aorta), which I only survived due to the excellence of the medical care at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. (For this, I cannot extol highly enough the ‘socialised’ universal medical care system of the Scottish NHS, which makes such life-saving surgery accessible for all.) Needless to say, I am very glad to still be around, and I see everything I do (on both the personal and professional level) in a very different way: from the time of my medical emergency onwards is, quite simply, a bonus. I am still in the process of recovery. So my apologies to all for the delay in the finalisation of this issue. As I write, we are just months away from the journal reaching its twentieth anniversary. When issue 21.1 arrives at some time in the first quarter of 2020, it will be two decades since Culture and Religionwas initially launched (back in early 2000, then as a twice-yearly journal by Curzon Press). There has been a lot of continuity and change since that time, both for the journal and for myself as its editor, as you would expect. But also, the discipline and the field of studies which Culture and Religion serves have also changed and developed, largely in ways which could not have been easily foreseen back in 1999. I intend to address this in more detail in an editorial for the twentieth-anniversary edition, along with a discussion of where I would like to see the journal – and of course the study of religion and culture – to develop over the next two decades (which hopefully I will still be around to see). In anticipation of that, although there has been a lot of excellent scholarship in this time that has been researched, written and published in areas close to the journal’s remit – some of which we have had the pleasure to publish here – I would sum up the situation in 2019/20 as somewhat negative and depressing, particularly in Britain (of course, Brexit notwithstanding). Ten years of public government-led austerity and the introduction of high student fees in England have severely squeezed (that is, largely decimated) the teaching of religious studies in universities (see British Academy 2019), and thus surviving units have had to make do with whatever funds and opportunities they have been able to find.
