Abstract:

This study explores the religious conversion of young people to Neo-Pentecostalism in Mexico. Neo-Pentecostalism is a new form of belief and worship which emerged in the 1970s, and which is considered the third wave of the Pentecostal movement. The most interesting aspect of this religion lies in its religious proposal, which presents a modern approach to religion. Its popularity seems to reach nonbelievers, Catholics and Protestants, but especially young people. However, to date we still know little about this new religion. Therefore, this study proposes to give a better understanding of Neo-

Abstract:

Roma in former Czechoslovakia have historically experienced economic and political marginalisation and been treated and portrayed as inferior to ethnic Czechs and Slovaks. Roma thereby became perceived as different from non-Roma citizens, as not belonging to the Czech or Slovak nation, as an 'exception'. The post-socialist transition produced economic precarity, new inequalities, and a climate of rising nationalist sentiments in Central and Eastern Europe. The perception of Roma as not having the same rights as ethnic Czechs or Slovaks to access state care became even more salient than during

Au regard de trajectoires de français et de françaises convertis à l'islam, cette thèse porte sur les redéfinitions identitaires personnelles et familiales engendrées par la conversion. Des parcours de croyants non-pratiquants à ceux de pratiquants orthodoxes, la conversion est appréhendée au croisement des itinéraires individuels et des évolutions religieuses contemporaines. A l'ère de la sécularisation, la conversion à l'islam, emblématique d'une autonomisation mais aussi d'une transgression certaine, demeure fréquemment prise aux mailles du processus de réislamisation. Elle symbolise le pas

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine, from an Adlerian perspective, how religious conversion enables some individuals to make life-style changes. Data was collected from the autobiography of Thomas Merton, and interviews of two men and two women over the age of fifty having had religious conversions at least ten years in the past. The interview consisted of a life-style analysis, a measure of social interest, an analysis of conversion memories, a contextual report of the conversion, and a comparison of before and after the conversions in terms of five life tasks--work, love, community, spi

Devenir musulman en France c’est rejoindre un groupe de croyants dont le terme usuel de « communauté » peine à décrire la fragmentation et le caractère diversifié.

Mais cela prend dans l’objet qui nous occupe une ampleur particulière en raison de l’imagerie négative fréquemment associée à l’islam et de l’âpreté des débats qu’il suscite : à la trahison des origines s’ajoute celle des valeurs et des idéaux.

Almost daily emotional worship pours from a warehouse-sized evangelical church in the small rural community of Santa Cruz, Costa Rica. Within twenty years an evangelical presence has gone from virtually non-existent to standing alongside the Catholic Church in the area’s religious landscape.

In this thesis I provide another ethnographic research context to the growing body of literature focused on Pentecostalism/evangelicalism in Latin America. Like others addressing this dyna

"Christian Slavery" shows how Protestant missionaries in the early modern Atlantic World developed a new vision for slavery that integrated Christianity with human bondage. Quaker, Anglican, and Moravian missionaries arrived in the Caribbean intending to "convert" enslaved Africans to Christianity, but their actions formed only one part of a dialogue that engaged ideas about family, kinship, sex, and language. Enslaved people perceived these newcomers alternately as advocates, enemies, interlopers, and powerful spiritual practitioners, and they sought to utilize their presence for pragmatic, p

Abstract:

This thesis examines Yun Chi-ho’s (1865-1945) life and thought in a historical context from a religious perspective. Previous dominant interpretations, such as nationalistic, confessional, psychological, and sociological, largely ignored the religious dimension of Yun’s life and work, and created contradictory images of Yun as “traitor”, “hero”, or “victim”. In contrast, the thesis argues that Yun was a religious pilgrim who committed himself to Christianity and the process of reconciliation between divided Koreans in the midst of political turmoil and Japanese colonial oppression (1910-1945).

Abstract:

This thesis provides a sociological analysis of religious conversion in prison. In depth-interviews were conducted in order to obtain accounts of prisoners' experiences and subjective perceptions of conversion. Four main research objectives are addressed. Firstly, questions about prisoners' identity are considered. Secondly, the social processes involved in religious conversion are analysed, paying particular attention to the meaning of religious conversion for prisoners. Thirdly, an analysis of the role of religion in the everyday lives of converts is provided. Lastly, the process of personal

Abstract:

Using documentary and ethnographic information, an analogy is drawn between conquest-period (ca. 1722) and contemporary political and religious institutions among the Cora (Nayari) people of the Sierra del Nayar in the Sierra Madre Occidental of Mexico. Fundamental to these political and religious institutions-then and now-is the idea that the deceased elders of the Cora people continue as active agents in the lives of living Coras, particularly as the seasonal rains. Based on this analogy, an inference is extended from contemporary attitudes of Cora people in the town of Santa Teresa toward t

Abstract:

Dans un village du Yucatán la majorité de la population s’est récemment convertie au protestantisme. Cette situation a contraint à une redéfinition de certains éléments de la culture locale et de ses pratiques rituels. Une rédefinition qui se réalise, d'une coté dans le refus du système d'orientement culturel, des pratiques rituelles et de l'organisation catholiques et, de l'autre coté, d'une maintenance selective et dans une remodulation de certains de ses termes. L'het'z mek, une pratique rituelle «traditionnelle», est aussi célébrée par les protestants sur la base de l'accent mis sur ses fo
