Abstract:

Undervisningen i skolan kan vara utformad på många olika sätt. I vissa fall fungerar läromedel som grunden i undervisningen, i andra fall används läromedel som endast en utgångspunkt vars kärna fördjupas med andra användbara medel. Var man än placerar läromedlets position inom klassrummets ramar är dess användning närvarande på ett eller annat sätt. Det finns därmed ett stort antal elever i den svenska skolan som kommer i kontakt med lärobokstexter. Kunskapsinhämtningen som eleverna gör ger dem perspektiv på vår omvärld. Vilka dessa perspektiv blir beror på hur läroboksförfattarna väljer att u

Abstract:

This dissertation is an ethnographic study of how members of the Indo-Guyanese community traveled from Guyana to New York City, carrying with them distinct understandings of Hinduism informed by their multiple dislocations and how they utilize religion as ideology and practice to help cultivate their identities as Indo-Guyanese Americans. I argue religion as a mobile concept, what I have termed as ‘religion on the move,’ gives a theoretical frame to understand how devotees adapt religion to help them navigate their identities in unknown territories.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att genom en fallstudie undersöka hur grundskoleelever uppfattar Indien och hinduism. Detta har undersökts genom en analys av resultatet utifrån postkoloniala teorier om orientalism. Jag har även försökt återknyta detta resultat till hur undervisningen i skolan vad gäller Indien och hinduism ser ut. Mitt urval och tillvägagångssätt består av 10 elevintervjuer och 1 lärarintervju. För att uppnå syftet har jag utgått från ett antal teoretiska utgångspunkter som hör orientalismen till, såsom: Eurocentrism, Den Andre, exotism, Västerlandet och vi-och-dem. Undersökningen

This study provides a contribution to the sociology of religion by examining the relationship between Hinduism and the Internet - an area largely neglected by scholars of religion and the Internet. A theoretical discussion as to the suitability of cyberspace for Hinduism - which concludes that there is a high level of compatibility - is followed by a discussion of embodiment (a relatively neglected topic in sociology) in Hinduism in order to assess whether online religious activity which does not require full embodiment could be problematic.

Abstract:

The teaching tradition of Advaita Vedanta is one of the most widely represented forms of Indian religion both outside of India and on the subcontinent itself. The reasons for this popularity are complex and an understanding of it involves an analysis of colonial discourse and the ongoing interest in the tradition by Orientalists and Indian nationalists, as well as an understanding of pre-colonial practices of Brahminization. The academic study of Advaita Vedanta has been continuous since the origins of Indology and the comparative study of religion. In spite of this interest, the traditi

The thesis is divided into three main sections, each dealing with a different aspect of the religious administration of the British in India. No one section covers the entire period of 1780 to 1900, but they are assembled to give a chronological whole, with some overlapping between them. The first section traces the changes in Hindu traditions of pilgrimage in north India, c. 1780- 1840. Most of the information revolves around three main sites - Aflahabad, Benares and Gaya - partly as a result of source bias: the British had control of these sites from a relatively early date and much eighteen

Abstract:

Militant Hinduism announced its presence in India in the early 1980s. Since then, it has posed a challenge to the biggest functioning democracy in the world and the secular ethos on which its nation state was formed. The Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged as an alternative force to the once dominant, secular Congress party and came to power in the 1990s. The rise of Hindu nationalism was accompanied by recurring large-scale communal (Hindu-Muslim) riots. The notion of a monolithic Hindu identity is, of course, inherently implausible in view of the differences of caste which

The study argues that Jones’ sympathetic and syncretic representations of Hinduism in his nine ‘Hymns’ to Hindu deities (1784-1789) influenced the use of Hinduism within the works of these later Romantic poets. It is interested in the way in which Blake, Southey, and Shelley use Hinduism, by way of Jones, to represent, react to, and recontextualise geopolitical and religious issues relative to t

This research was stimulated by pastoral concerns regarding the high rate of suicide in the South African Hindu community.

This work uses the Taittiriya Upanishad (3.10.5) to address this challenge. The early Vedic writings are not systematized nor are they fully explicable except through commentaries. This resea

Abstract:

The main hypothesis of this dissertation is that the emergence, development, and subsequent spread of modern Hinduism, beginning from the late 18 th century India, are products of an ongoing process of globalization. The Sri Lankan Tamil diaspora in Canada is an example of the larger historical process of a globalization of Hinduism. It is therefore argued that any analysis of contemporary socio-religious change must be undertaken within the broader parameters of globalization theory. The discussion begins with an examination of the social and historical contexts that led to the emergence of H
