Abstract:
This article introduces the Religions issue on Latin American religiosity exploring sociological perspectives on the Latin American religious situation, from a Latin American perspective. The Secularization Theory proposes “the more modernity, the less religion”, but in Latin America we see both, modernity and religiosity. The Religious Economy model, on the other hand, affirms “the more pluralization, the more religion”, but in Latin America there is not so much pluralization, and it is not easy to switch from one religion to other. Finally, the article presents a Latin American model, the “popular religiosity” one. The problem with it, is that it is mostly ‘Catholic,’ and so does not account for the growing religious diversity in the region. It also emphasizes the “popular” aspect, excluding middle socioeconomic status individuals and elites, assuming they practice “real” religion. This introduction presents a critical approach as a way to recover, describe, and understand Latin American religious practices. This methodology might be a path to creating sociological categories to understand religion beyond the north Atlantic world.

Abstract:
This study seeks to begin the process of articulating a new understanding of conceptualizing Islam in North America. Unlike previous studies that examine North American Islam from the perspectives of sociology or history, what follows attempts to use certain questions formulated by the anthropology of religion. This calls for examining the complexity and messiness of Islams, especially as they relate to equally unstable factors such as culture and society. From there, this study focusses on the relationship of various Islams to multivalent North American urban spaces, showing how such spaces affect Muslim understandings of gender, sexuality and religion.

Abstract:
Relations between American democracy and religion have always been somewhat equivocal.On the one hand, moral and ethical principles derived from the Judeo-Christian tradition have been a major source of democratic values. Religion was an important motivating factor in both the colonization of North America and the American Revolution. The Founding Fathers set such high store by religion that they included its free exercise along with free speech and a free press among the liberties specifically protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution. Organized religion played a key role in such drives to perfect democracy as the abolition of slavery, the enactment of woman's suffrage, and the civil rights struggle of the 1960s. Perhaps most important, the so-called Protestant ethic provided the moral bedrock on which republican institutions were built.On the other hand, democratic theorists and much of the general public have been wary of the absolutist social outlook often associated with religion. Practically all religions claim to embody ultimate truths about the nature of the universe and the human condition. At some level, therefore, they can hardly be tolerant of rival beliefs. Religious bodies can avoid social intolerance by acknowledging that human imperfection clouds and corrupts the judgments of all institutions, including the churches, or by limiting their social pronouncement to broad moral directives. In practice, however, individuals or institutions claiming to represent transcendent moral authority are often tempted to attach certainty to their opinions on complex issues in secular politics.

Abstract:
In a paper given at a Roundtable at the American Academy of Religion (AAR) National Annual Conference in Montreal in November of 2009, jointly organized by the North American Association for the Study of Religion and the Critical Theory and Discourses in Religion Group of the AAR, I argued for the ineluctably philosophical nature of what is most commonly called ‘method and theory in the study of religion.’ That paper ( Rennie, 2010 ) also argues that what is conventionally referred to as ‘philosophy of religion’ does not, strictly speaking, warrant that name since it is in fact a form of theology that utilizes philosophical methodologies to consider principally, if not exclusively, Christian concerns. I also argued that a philosophy of religion(s) constituted along the lines of the philosophy of science would be a potential improvement in both ‘philosophy of religion’ and ‘method and theory in the study of religion.’ In this paper I would like to consider—with the help of a closer look at contemporary philosophy of science—precisely what a reconstituted history (and philosophy) of religions might look like, how it might differ from current scholarship, and what it might achieve. Dans une communication donnée lors d’une table ronde à l’American Academy of Religion (AAR) National Annual Conference à Montréal en novembre 2009, organisée conjointement par le North American Association for the Study of Religion et le groupe de Critical Theory and Discourses in Religion de l’AAR, j’avais argué la nature inéluctablement philosophique de ce qui est couramment appelé « Method and Theory in the Study of Religion ». Cet article ( Rennie, 2010 ) soutient également la thèse que ce qu’on appelle couramment « Philosophie de la religion » ne correspond pas stricto sensu à ce qu’une telle dénomination recouvre puisqu’il s’agit en fait d’une forme de théologie recourant à des méthodes philosophiques pour envisager des préoccupations principalement, sinon exclusivement, chrétiennes. Je soutiens aussi qu’une philosophie des religions constituée à partir des lignes de force de la philosophie des sciences pourrait apporter une amélioration potentielle de la philosophie de la religion, de la méthode et de la théorie dans l’étude des religions. Dans cet article, j’aimerais examiner précisément —par le biais des apports de la philosophie des sciences contemporaine— ce à quoi l’histoire (et la philosophie) des religions pourrait ressembler, les termes dans lesquels elle se distinguerait des approches actuelles et ce à quoi nous pourrions ainsi aspirer.

Abstract This essay considers Jennifer Graber’s The Gods of Indian Country and Pamela Klassen’s The Story of Radio Mind together in considering new developments in the field of Native American and Indigenous studies. Hale examines how these books discuss the role of religion in shaping settler colonialism in North America in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. She concludes that both works raise pressing methodological questions about how historians of religion can center the lives of Native American people in their work.

Mustapha, Nadira. "Islamic legal theory and practice in the North American context: an epistemological and methodological analysis of the Fiqh council of North America." Thesis, McGill University, 2013. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=116883.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis explores the formation of the first official Islamic jurisprudential body in North America—the Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA)—as it attempts to respond to the needs of Muslim minorities. The research examines whether the FCNA's legal methodology (minhaj) takes into consideration the development and use of Islamic legal theory, or whether the legal body employs contemporary legal approaches in navigating the intricacies of legal rulings (fatawa). The FCNA and its fatawa, in accommodating legal change, presents a unique object of analysis in order to contextualize the dynamics related to Islamic legal theory and practice in the North America context. The thesis intertwines two academic disciplines: legal institutional history and legal theory history. The theoretical legal background and foundation of the thesis is established in the introductory stages including the parameters of Islamic legal theory. Part I discusses the FCNA as a legal institution, its Fiqh Councilors, and its legal methodology, including the realization of fiqh of minorities (fiqh al-aqalliyyat). Part II engages in a circumspect examination of the fatawa, the FCNA's epistemological and methodological legal foundation, and a critical analysis as well as an evaluation of the status of the FCNA and its fatawa. The FCNA's historical and legal experience illuminates the evolution, history, and path of Islamic legal theory and practice in North America. The thesis concludes that the FCNA, a pioneering institution in North America, engages Islamic legal theory, while at times challenging the existing legal paradigm by way of contemporary legal approaches, in order to address the needs and concerns of Muslim minorities. From Islam's rich legal heritage, the Fiqh Councilors of the Fiqh Council of North America have shaped a contemporary legal body to meet the demands of its context, one that will continue to evolve in the years ahead.<br>Cette thèse explore la formation du premier organisme officiel de jurisprudence islamique en Amérique du Nord—le Conseil de Fiqh de l'Amérique du Nord (CFAN)—et ses tentatives de répondre aux besoins des minorités musulmanes à travers l'émission de fatawa (décisions judiciaires), ainsi que le minhaj (méthodologie) qui en sert de base. Tenant compte du développement et de l'application des usul al-fiqh dans la période pré-moderne, ce travail de recherche analyse comment le CFAN emploie les principes d'usul al-fiqh en faisant face aux complexités de la fatwa contemporaine. Cette recherche vise à découvrir si oui ou non les fatawa reflètent la théorie du droit islamique, ou bien si le CFAN a dû mettre à point de nouvelles approches jurisprudentielles. Le CFAN et ses fatawa, tout en s'adaptant aux changements juridiques, offrent un objet d'analyse unique qui sert à mettre en contexte les dynamiques liées à la jurisprudence islamique en Amérique du Nord.La thèse recouvre deux disciplines académiques, à savoir: l'histoire des institutions juridiques et l'histoire de la théorie du droit. L'Introduction jette les fondations et l'arrière plan théoriques et judiciaires de notre enquête. La première partie traitent du CFAN en tant qu'organisme judiciaire, ainsi que de ses Conseillers en Fiqh et de sa méthodologie judiciaire, y compris la mise en pratique d'un fiqh des minorités (fiqh al-aqalliyyat). La deuxième partie examine de près les fatawa émis par le CFAN, ainsi que les fondations épistémologiques et la méthodologie judiciaire de cet organisme, suivi d'une analyse critique ainsi que d'une appréciation du statut accordé au CFAN et à ses fatawa.L'expérience historique et juridique du CFAN sert à éclairer l'évolution, l'histoire et le trajet du droit islamique en Amérique du Nord dans ses deux dimensions théoriques et pragmatiques. La thèse en arrive à conclure que le CFAN, une institution judiciaire pilote en Amérique du Nord, cherche en permanence à mettre en opération les principes de la théorie du droit islamique traditionnelle, tout en se montrant prêt à défier le paradigme existant en faisant appel à des approches judiciaires contemporaines. En puisant dans le riche patrimoine juridique de l'Islam, les Conseillers en fiqh du Conseil de Fiqh de l'Amérique du Nord en sont arrivés à mettre sur pied un conseil de fiqh contemporain apte à répondre aux exigences de son ambiance et qui, certes, ne cessera d'évoluer et de se développer aux cours des années à venir.

Sims, Melissa. "Supernatural intervention as an explanation for natural phenomena in Native American mythologies." Virtual Press, 1995. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/935922.

Full text
Abstract:
Natural phenomena and natural disasters occur across the regions of the United States. While science now provides factual documentation for causes of meteorological and geological events, most Native American tribes lacked scientific explanations of these occurrences. Native Americans, however, sought to explain the effects and often devastation resulting from meteorological and geological events in some manner. The religions and mythologies of many cultures provide explanations for the occurrence of natural phenomena through supernatural intervention. The presentation of myths by geographic region provided the basis for analysis of explanations for natural phenomena. Regional analysis of myths suggests that commonalities exist among Native American Groups experiencing similar meteorological and geological events. Furthermore, common themes span across regional boundaries. For example, the use of a Thunderbird, a large bird with glowing eyes, as an explanation for the occurrence of thunder and storms occurs in every region of the United States. Another common theme is the use of a storm by a supernatural force as punishment for unacceptable behaviors of the earth's inhabitants. The most frequent example of this is the theme of a flood that destroys many inhabitants at some point in the history of the tribe. Often, storms and other natural phenomena have explanations based in the creation myth of the tribe. Another theme in myths regarding natural phenomena is the resolution of opposing forces. In many myths, the opposition exists between humans and nature, weather beings or spirits, or animals and nature. Myths regarding natural phenomena occasionally contain the attempt by humans or animals to gain control over nature or natural elements. The results of this control vary from favorable to unfavorable for those involved. A final theme exhibited in many myths is the function of a supernatural force associated with weather as a guardian, protector, and provider. The belief in these guardians provides Native Americans with assurance that they will be protected, and provided for, especially in times of natural disasters or storms. Research indicates that compilation of myths regarding natural phenomena facilitates regional and cross-cultural analysis and understanding of the role of supernatural intervention in Native American comprehension of natural phenomena.<br>Department of Anthropology

Full text
Abstract:
This project explores the ways in which key literary texts reproduce, undermine, or otherwise engage with cultural narratives of the so-called Bible Belt. Noting that the evangelicalism that dominated the South by the turn of the twentieth century was, for much of the antebellum period, a relatively marginal and sometimes subversive movement in a comparatively irreligious region, I argue that widely disseminated images and narratives instilled a false sense of nostalgia for an incomplete version of the South’s religious heritage. My introductory chapter demonstrates how the South’s commemorated “Old Time” religion was not especially old, and how this modernist construct of an idealized past helped galvanize Southern evangelicalism into a religion that more readily accommodated racial hegemony in the present. The following three chapters examine Faulkner’s Light in August, O’Connor’s Wise Blood, and Hurston’s Jonah’s Gourd Vine and Moses, Man of the Mountain. I find that each of these novels embeds traces of forgotten religious dissidence. The modern nostalgia for a purer old-time religion, my readings suggest, says less about the history of religion in the South than it does about New-South efforts to merge evangelical and “Southern” values, thereby suppressing any residual opposition between them.

Scott-Coe, Justin M. "Covenant Nation: The Politics of Grace in Early American Literature." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2012. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cgu_etd/45.

Full text
Abstract:
The argument of this dissertation is that a critical reading of the concept of "covenant" in early American writings is instrumental to understanding the paradoxes in the American political concepts of freedom and equality. Following Slavoj Zizek's theoretical approach to theology, I trace the covenant concept in early American literature from the theological expressions and disputes in Puritan Massachusetts through Jonathan Edwards's Freedom of Will and the essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson, showing how the covenant theology of colonial New England dispersed into more "secular" forms of what may be called an American political theology. The first chapter provides an overview of recent attempts to integrate theology and theory, specifically comparing Jacques Derrida and Zizek to better understand the latter's theology of materialism which relies on as well as informs the Reformed Protestant covenantal dichotomy of grace and works. The second chapter establishes the complicated architecture of the covenant concept within seventeenth-century New England Reformed Protestantism, and uses church membership transcripts along with Ann Hutchinson court trial documents to demonstrate how this inherently unstable theology created unintended slippage between God's grace and mankind's works, resulting in a theological formulation remarkably open to Zizek's analysis of political ideology. The third chapter demonstrates how Jonathan Edwards, through his ingenious counter-argument in Freedom of Will, provides a theoretical foundation for an uneasy but necessary alignment of the covenants of works and grace, releasing the subjunctive potential of grace to operate through history as a predeterminer of meaning and, potentially, freedom. In the last chapter, I argue that Emerson finally converts the covenant from a politically conceptualized theological framework for radical grace into a personal institutionalization of grace itself. Stanley Cavell's exploration of Emerson's "constitution" in light of the covenant motif demonstrates the political (im)possibilities inherent in America's self-conceptions of personal liberty and civic equality. In the end, complexities inherent in the concept of the covenant, especially its creative failure to control the radical nature of "grace," are determinative factors in our contradictory American egalitarian ideals.

Abstract:
What is religion? That is a question that have been asked and answered over and over again since the invention of the word itself. The definition of religion is still engaging and dividing social science. Despite that, the word has a untaught part of our everyday life. We meet the word on the news, in conversations and in education. What we may not consider is that religion is a product of it’s own history which until today, influences the understanding of it. The definition of it is also produced and reproduced in different contexts. These contexts in which religion is presented and explained imprint thus our understanding of religion. This paper aim to examine what religion is and how it is defined and described in the context of a museum, more particularly the exhibition Nordamerikas indianer at Etnografiska museet in Stockholm, Sweden.

Abstract:
O presente artigo analisa as representações dos Estados Unidos no periódico A Pátria Mineira, da cidade de São João del-Rei, no ano de 1889, antes da proclamação da República no Brasil. Nosso objetivo é entender como a próspera nação da América do Norte foi usada tanto para defender a ideia republicana como para criticar a Monarquia e mostrá-la como incoerente com a América. Para isto, utilizamos vários artigos publicados no periódico, que mostravam os Estados Unidos sob diferentes ângulos: político, econômico, religioso, racial e histórico. Todas as representações procuravam expor as qualidades e os êxitos dos estadunidenses, ocultando aspectos que poderiam prejudicar a ideologia republicana, tais como a escravidão e o protestantismo. Como resultado, os republicanos são-joanenses difundiram um conjunto de imagens sobre os norte-americanos que estavam enraizadas nos adeptos do partido em todo o país e que ajudariam na derrubada da Império e na ascensão dos Estados Unidos do Brasil.

Abstract:
The Maria Sibylla Merian International Centre for Advanced Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences Conviviality-Inequality in Latin America (Mecila) will study past and present forms of social, political, religious and cultural conviviality, above all in Latin America and the Caribbean while also considering comparisons and interdependencies between this region and other parts of the world. Conviviality, for the purpose of Mecila, is an analytical concept to circumscribe ways of living together in concrete contexts. Therefore, conviviality admits gradations – from more horizontal forms to highly asymmetrical convivial models. By linking studies about interclass, interethnic, intercultural, interreligious and gender relations in Latin America and the Caribbean with international studies about conviviality, Mecila strives to establish an innovative exchange with benefits for both European and Latin American research. The focus on convivial contexts in Latin America and the Caribbean broadens the horizon of conviviality research, which is often limited to the contemporary European context. By establishing a link to research on conviviality, studies related to Latin America gain visibility, influence and impact given the political and analytical urgency that accompanies discussions about coexistence with differences in European and North American societies, which are currently confronted with increasing socioeconomic and power inequalities and intercultural and interreligious conflicts.
