    This is the thirteenth episode of the Praxis in Religion Conversation Series and the opening of a new season, in which the following questions in posed: How did the state arise in Europe? The canonical answer is Charles Tilly's: “war made the state and the state made war.” The starting point is the fragmentation of territorial political authority in Europe after the collapse of the Carolingian empire in 888, and the ambitions of rulers in the early modern (1500-1700) era. To expand their rule, monarchs and princes fought bitter wars with other other—and to fund this increasingly costly warfare, they extracted taxes. Domestic institutions such as state administrations, fiscal offices, and parliaments arose in response to these needs.  In these “bellecist” accounts, rulers who succeeded in building up the administrative and military apparatus of war went on to consolidate their territorial gains and ensure the survival of their states. These relentless pressures eventually meant fewer and bigger states, from as many as 500 independent states in Europe in 1500 to 30 four centuries later. In a current episode, Anna Grzymala Busse takes Charles Tilly to church, and questions each of these core pillars of the bellecist story. She shows that roots of many state institutions are found in the medieval era, not the early modern. Fragmentation was not simply a post-imperial legacy, but a sustained and deliberate policy. ---------------------------------------------- Music for the Conversation Series is generously provided by the Shavnabada Choir .

    Jeff Love | Between Kant and Hegel: Alexandre Kojève and the End of Law

    Play Episode Listen Later May 26, 2022 69:31


    This episode is a re-publication of a seminar organised by the research project the End of Law, at CTR. Dr Mårten Björk will take the lead, and introduces the inaugural episode of the End of law podcast, and a lecture by professor Jeff Lo ve, with the title: "Between Kant and Hegel: Alexandre Kojève and the End of Law" It was recorded on 1 June 2021 as part of the Law, Theology and Culture seminar in Lund. Alexandre Kojève is best known for the influential lectures he gave on Hegel to an enthralled audience of French intellectuals including Raymond Aron, Henry Corbin, Jacques Lacan, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Aside from these lectures, published in 1947 as Introduction to the Reading of Hegel, Kojéve published relatively little before his death in 1968. Yet, he left over 26 boxes of unpublished material on a variety of topics, from quantum physics and the continuum hypothesis to a major treatise on law called Outline of a Phenomenology of Right (Esquisse d'une phénoménologie du droit). Kojève wrote this treatise (586 pages in the French book edition) in 1943 while living in Vichy France. He expounds in it a comprehensive theory of justice and the universal homogeneous state that promises to usher in the end of history and perhaps of law itself. In my talk, I shall examine some of the central legal features of Kojève's universal and homogeneous state and consider whether Kojève actually affirms that history can be brought to an end through a final legal regime or not. In this respect, Kojève reprises his end of history thesis from the Hegel lectures as well as putting it in question, opposing Hegelian finality to what Kojeve terms Kantian "skepticism" about final ends.  Jeff Love is Research Professor of German and Russian at Clemson University. He is the author of The Black Circle: A Life of Alexandre Kojève (Columbia University Press, 2018), Tolstoy: A Guide for the Perplexed (Continuum, 2008), and The Overcoming of History in War and Peace (Brill, 2004). He has also published a translation of Alexandre Kojève's Atheism (Columbia University Press, 2018), an annotated translation (with Johannes Schmidt) of F.W. J. Schelling's Philosophical Investigations into the Essence of Human Freedom (State University of New York Press, 2006), and recently a translation of António Lobo Antunes's novel Until Stones Become Lighter Than Water (Yale University Press, 2019). ---------------------------------------------- Religion and Theology is produced by Joel Kuhlin for the Center for Theology and Religious Studies. If you have comments or critique of this episode, or any other episodes of R&T, please contact us via the podcast's twitteraccount: @reloteol.

    Yvonne Maria Werner | Den postreformatoriska katolicismen i Norden

    Play Episode Listen Later May 20, 2022 58:39


    Dagens avsnitt är en föreläsning av 2021 års hedersdoktor vid CTR: Yvonne Maria Werner, professor och forskare vid historiska institutionen, Lunds universitet. På grund av pandemin kunde CTR inte sammankalla till detta högtidstillfälle, innan majmånad 2022. Under föreläsningen, "Den postreformatoriska katolicismen i Norden: mission, konversion och alternativa identitetsdiskurser" förekommer en rad bilder för åhörarna på plats, vilka även finns att tillgå här för den som önskar.   Yvonne Maria Werner är professor i historia vid Lunds universitet. I sin forskning och undervisning har hon som få historiker i Sverige berört religionens inflytande på de väst- och nordeuropeiska samhällena i allmänhet och på det svenska samhället i synnerhet. För sin betydande insats och mångåriga yrkesgärning utses hon till hedersdoktor vid Teologiska fakulteten. Werner disputerade 1989 på en avhandling om svensk-tyska relationer kring sekelskiftet 1900, och hennes vetenskapliga produktion har därefter främst varit inriktad på nor­disk katolsk kulturhistoria under 1800- och 1900-talen, vilket otaliga artiklar, antologier och monografier vittnar om. I sin forskning uppehåller sig Werner särskilt vid samspelet mellan religion, politik, genus och samhälle under tidigmodern och modern tid, och det är också detta samspel som hamnat i fokus i de av henne initierade och ledda forskningsprojekten ”Den kvinnliga klosterrörelsen i Norden. En kvinnlig motkultur i det moderna samhället” och ”Kristen manlighet – en modernitetens paradox: Män och religion i en nordeuro­peisk kontext 1840-1940”. I det sistnämnda projektet ingick flera kyrkohistoriker från CTR, Centrum för teologi och religionsvetenskap. Dessa två, och andra forskningsprojekt som Werner varit engagerad i, har haft en tydlig internat­ionell profil och fört samman forskare från stora delar av Europa. Werner har också forskat om synen på och hanteringen av döden under tidigmodern tid. Ett centralt stråk i Werners forskning under senare år har därtill varit de antikatolska strömningar som åtminstone fram till Sveriges inträde i EU 1995 funnits under ytan i det svenska samhället. Werner har härvid dragit intressanta historiska paralleller till vår tids tilltagande antisemitism och islamofobi. Som handledare i forskarutbildningen har Werner handlett forskningsprojekt som belyser kyr­kans inverkan på mentalitet och samhälle under tidigmodern och modern tid. Werner har varit huvud- och bihandledare för flera avhandlingsprojekt som haft tydlig religionsvetenskaplig − främst kyrkohistorisk − bäring. Ytterligare ett exempel på Werners engagemang i den kyrkohistoriska forskningsmiljön är en mångårig och mycket omfattande insats som recensent i Kyrkohistorisk årsskrift. Werner har under många år samarbetat med forskare vid CTR på ett sätt som gynnat såväl enskilda kollegor som den kyrkohistoriska miljön vid institutionen i stort. Ett uttryck för hennes önskan att samla personer som är intresserade av dessa frågor är forskarseminariet ”Historia och religion” som hon startade vid Historiska institutionen 2010 och som blivit en mötesplats för historiker från olika discipliner, däribland kyrkohistoriker. Många är de kollegor som vittnar om Werners energi och ständiga beredvillighet att diskutera forskningsfrågor och nya forskningsuppslag. "Yvonne Maria Werner har starkt bidragit till att svenska historiker från 1990-talet och framåt återupptäckt religionens roll i historien", säger fakultetens dekanus, professor Samuel Byrskog. "Att utse henne till hedersdoktor vid Teologiska fakulteten är vårt sätt att visa uppskattning för ett långt och givande samarbete över ämnesgränserna." ---------------------------------------------- "Religion och Teologi" produceras av Joel Kuhlin,  för Centrum för Teologi & Religionsvetenskap. För kritik eller kommentarer till avsnittet, skriv gärna en rad till religionochteologi@outlook.com, eller på Twitter till @reloteol.  ---------------------------------------------- Särskilt tack till gruppen Nous för musiken.

    This is the tenth episode in the Religion in Praxis Conversations Series (previously known simply as "the Conversations Series") and today's speaker is Elizabeth Shakman Hurd. While offering important perspectives on the myriad evidentiary assessment challenges facing adjudicators, the legal and social scientific literature bypasses the political theological questions that interest me here. What are the theological and political conditions that sustain practices of political and religious asylum seeking despite the persistent limitations and limits surrounding legal adjudication involving religion? Given the instability of the category of religion, why do the authorities persist in trying to establish whether a person, action, belief, or practice is credibly subject to religious persecution? How might we understand religion anew in this context? To address these questions, Elizabeth Shakman Hurd approaches the question of religion in asylum seeking and claiming through the prism of theology, understood in this context as a mode of inquiry that takes the human as a question rather than as a given, and acknowledges the significance of human finitude rather than an assertion of human mastery. We situate the argument in the context of ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine and the migration crisis cause by this war. ---------------------------------------------- Music for the Conversation Series is generously provided by the Shavnabada Choir .The project author and the host of the Conversation Series is Dr. Tornike Metreveli. ---------------------------------------------- Religion and Theology is produced by Joel Kuhlin for the Center for Theology and Religious Studies. If you have comments or critique of this episode, or any other episodes of R&T, please contact us via the podcast's twitteraccount: @reloteol.

    This is the the ninth episode of the Conversation Series, Siniša Malešević, sociologist and a Chair of Sociology at University College Dublin, will talk on the topic of "Grounded Nationalisms: a Sociological Analysis." Globalisation is not the enemy of nationalism; instead, Professor Malešević shows, the two forces have developed together through modern history. Malešević challenges dominant views which see nationalism as a declining social force. He explains why the recent escalations of populist nationalism throughout the world do not represent a social anomaly but are, in fact, a historical norm. By focusing on ever-increasing organisational capacity, greater ideological penetration and networks of micro-solidarity, Malešević shows how and why nationalism has become deeply grounded in the everyday life of modern human beings. The author explores the social dynamics of these grounded nationalisms via an analysis of varied contexts, from Ireland to the Balkans. His findings show that increased ideological diffusion and the rising coercive capacities of states and other organisations have enabled nationalism to expand and establish itself as the dominant operative ideology of modernity. Malešević's main research interests include the study of war and organised violence, ethnicity, nation-states, and nationalism, empires, ideology, sociological theory and the comparative historical sociology.  ---------------------------------------------- Music for the Conversation Series is generously provided by the Shavnabada Choir .The project author and the host of the Conversation Series is Dr. Tornike Metreveli. ---------------------------------------------- Religion and Theology is produced by Joel Kuhlin for the Center for Theology and Religious Studies. If you have comments or critique of this episode, or any other episodes of R&T, please contact us via the podcast's twitteraccount: @reloteol.

Reconciliation is today an established practice of peace and mediation work. While the concept of reconciliation has its religious roots in the Greek and Latin New Testament, the modern practices are also indebted to Hegel's philosophy. To understand the meaning of reconciliation properly, an interdisciplinary perspective is needed.

After 1989, the Romanian Orthodox Church was called to re-evaluate its collaboration with the repressive communist rule, as well as the fascist regime that preceded it. However, instead of honestly assessing past wrongs and giving satisfaction to victims, this re-evaluation sought to consolidate the Church's partnership with the Romanian state and pre-eminence among religious denominations. Drawing on a number of prominent cases, this talkshows the interplay of Orthodoxy, memory and nationalism in one post-communist country. ---------------------------------------------- Music for the Conversation Series is generously provided by the Shavnabada Choir  ---------------------------------------------- Religion and Theology is produced by Joel Kuhlin for the Center for Theology and Religious Studies. If you have comments or critique of this episode, or any other episodes of R&T, please contact us via the podcast's twitteraccount: @reloteol.

    This is the sixth episode of the Conversation Series, with Catherine Wanner: professor of history, anthropology, and religious studies at Penn State. In this talk, Wanner conceptualizes and analyzes how “an affective atmosphere of religiosity” can be created and made politically useful. The spaces in between institutional religion and individual, ritualized behaviors as people go about their everyday lives can become sites that foster such an atmosphere. In some Orthodox Christian countries, a “place animated with prayer” is said to be filled with energy that links individuals to others and to otherworldly powers. This designation allows non-doctrinal practices, non-clerical forms of authority, and non-institutional sacred sites to develop. Orienting religious practices to such sites circumvents anticipated coercion from clergy and institutions alike, but retains the shared understandings, emotional involvement, and attachments to places these vernacular religious practices breed. In this episode, Wanner offers analyses of such sites and atmospheres in Ukraine, and reflects on the plethora of practices people have developed to tap into the energy that resides in these places to make a change in their lives.   Music for the Conversation Series is generously provided by the Shavnabada Choir   Religion and Theology is produced by Joel Kuhlin for the Center for Theology and Religious Studies. If you have comments or critique of this episode, or any other episodes of R&T, please contact us via the podcast's twitteraccount: @reloteol.

    This is the fifth episode of the Conversation Series, with the rubric "Studying Lived Religion: Contexts and Practices" and with the guest Nancy T. Ammermann. Although the study of lived religion has been around for over two decades, there has not been an agreed-upon definition of what it encompasses, and we have lacked a sociological theory to frame the way it is studied. Ammerman offers a definition that expands lived religion's geographic scope and a framework of seven dimensions around which we can analyze lived religious practice. Examples from multiple traditions and disciplines show the range of methods available for such studies, offering practical tips for how to begin. Her work opens up how we understand the category of lived religion, erasing the artificial divide between what happens in congregations and other religious institutions and what happens in other settings. Professor Ammerman shows how deeply religion permeates everyday lives. In revealing the often overlooked ways that religion shapes human experience, she invites us all into new ways of seeing the world around us.  Nancy T. Ammerman is one of the most influential sociologists in the study of lived religion. Her most recent research published in her edited 2006 book Everyday Religion Observing Modern Religious Lives (Oxford University Press) and her 2013 book, Sacred Stories, Spiritual Tribes Finding Religion in Everyday Life, (Oxford University Press) explored the ways religion and spirituality are part of the everyday world of work, home, health, and public life Following on that research, she has articulated an invitation to “re think religion” based on sociological theories of practice and a body of research on “lived religion”. Pulling all of this together is her book Studying Lived Religion Contexts and Practices, which will be out from NYU Press in October 2021. Along with Grace Davie, she was Coordinating Lead Author for “Religions and Social Progress Critical Assessments and Creative Partnerships” in the Report of the International Panel for Social Progress (Cambridge University Press 2018).   Music for the Conversation Series is generously provided by the Shavnabada Choir   Religion and Theology is produced by Joel Kuhlin for the Center for Theology and Religious Studies. If you have comments or critique of this episode, or any other episodes of R&T, please contact us via the podcast's twitteraccount: @reloteol.

    This is the fourth episode of the Conversation Series, in which Professor Joppke explores the forms and contents of contemporary nationalism in Europe and North America, what used to be called the ‘West' in a talk under the rubric "Nationalism in the neoliberal order: Old wine in new bottles." This nationalism responds in opposite and sometimes contradictory ways to a neoliberal order of globalization, welfare-state retreat and a heightened sense of insecurity. Joppke distinguishes between populist and statist forms of contemporary nationalism, and within the statist between a compensatory and a constitutive logic of linking it with neoliberalism. Under the constitutive logic, nationalism may adopt certain features of the neoliberal order itself, which yields a ‘neoliberal nationalism'. Non-ethnic yet exclusive of those who are not contributing, this is a new entry in the nations and nationalism lexicon.   Christian Joppke holds a chair in sociology at the University of Bern, Switzerland. A student of eminent Jürgen Habermas during his student years in Germany, he later received a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of California, Berkeley in 1989. He authored more than 100 publications in major sociology journals and is one of the most widely cited sociologists. His books are published by major academic (Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge) and are considered as classics in the field of migration studies. Joppke's present research cover social movements and the state, citizenship and immigration, most recently religion and politics, especially Islam in Western societies. His most recent scholarship, also published widely in core journals and presses, such as his book Neoliberal Nationalism: Immigration and the Rise of the Populist Right (Cambridge 2021), deals with the complex interaction between nationalism and neoliberalism.   Music for the Conversation Series is generously provided by the Shavnabada Choir   Religion and Theology is produced by Joel Kuhlin for the Center for Theology and Religious Studies. If you have comments or critique of this episode, or any other episodes of R&T, please write an email to religionochteologi@outlook.com.

Även om nationalismens ursprung och kristendomens roll i uppkomsten av nationalismen är omtvistade så har det funnits ett viktigt ideologiskt utbyte dem emellan. Och det fortsätter. På liknande sätt samverkar den politiska populismen med kristendomen: populistiska rörelser tar avstamp i den kristna identiteten och i de populistiska rörelsernas retorik gör man anspråk på kristna symboler och narrativ. När förhållandet mellan kristendom, nationalism och populism debatteras dyker ofta två bilder upp. Den ena går ut på att onda populister och/eller nationalister utnyttjar kristendom för sina ändamål. Den andra bilden går i motsatt riktning, nämligen att det är kristendomen som när och fostrar populism och nationalism." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Religion och Teologi" produceras av Joel Kuhlin, för Centrum för Teologi & Religionsvetenskap.  För kritik eller kommentarer, skriv en rad till religionochteologi@outlook.com.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Särskilt tack till gruppen Nous för musiken

    Detta avsnitt av R&T är David Davages docentföreläsning "Gudar och människor bland texter och paratexter: om varför Gamla testamentet inte har några författare" som hölls tisdagen den 22 september i Lux-byggnaden, på CTR. I föreläsning tar Davage sig an den utmaning som det faktum att de flesta av Gamla testamentets texter är anonyma innebär för den moderna bibelvetenskapens försök att rekonstruera texternas tillkomst. Ända sedan disciplinens födelse har en omistlig kärna i det exegetiska arbetet varit att kulturellt, historiskt och geografiskt kontextualisera en text för att på så sätt begränsa antalet möjliga tolkningar. Forskare gjorde tidigt upp med ”traditionens” författare (Moses, Jesaja, David, Salomo, m.fl.) samtidigt som man försökte identifiera nya upphovsmän och tradenter. Men utmaningarna är stora – i många avseenden verkar Gamla testamentets "böcker" stå emot alla försök till paratextuellt tämjande. Hur kan det vara så? Utifrån en inledande översikt över två tongivande författarideal som präglar vår samtid – romantikens idé om ett kreativt geni, samt Roland Barthes marginalisering av författaren och Michel Foucaults författarfunktion – visar Davage att ett grundläggande svar på frågan om varför Gamla testamentet inte har några författare är att Gamla testamentet delar en mesopotamisk distributiv och mottagarorienterad författarförståelse som decentraliserar den första mottagarens roll i relation till textens tolkning och tradering. Detta ställs i kontrast till en grekisk förståelse, som i långt högre utsträckning sätter författaren och dess intentioner i centrum då texter ska tolkas. I hellenistisk tid leder detta till omfattande äkthetsdiskussioner, och när den mesopotamiska författarförståelsen så småningom vävs samman med den grekiska föds också behovet av gammaltestamentliga författare, vilket leder till omfattande omtolkningar av Gamla testamentets paratexter.    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Religion och Teologi" produceras av Joel Kuhlin, för Centrum för Teologi & Religionsvetenskap.  För kritik eller kommentarer, skriv en rad till religionochteologi@outlook.com.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Särskilt tack till gruppen Nous för musiken

Men i Maria Magdalenas evangelium – som här för första gången publiceras i svensk översättning – är hjälten en kvinna.I denna tidigkristna skrift från 100-talet uppenbarar sig Jesus för Maria Magdalena och erbjuder henne hemlig kunskap. Maria är särskilt utvald för sin andliga förmåga och får förklara för de andra lärjungarna vad Jesus budskap går ut på.De få sidor som överlevt av Maria Magdalenas evangelium är ingen lätt läsning. Texten tvingar oss att fundera på svåra frågor, som Guds natur, själens ursprung och tillvarons själva grundvalar.I denna volym följs därför den svenska översättningen av en analys av den historiska bakgrunden till de religiösa och filosofiska tankar som Maria och Jesus utbyter. Till sist behandlas den fråga som naturligen väcks vid läsningen: vilken roll hade egentligen kvinnan i den tidiga kristendomen? Paul Linjamaa är religionshistoriker, verksam vid Centrum för teologi och religionsvetenskap, Lunds universitet. Han forskar i huvudsak om kristendomens tidiga historia och undervisar i religionshistoria på olika nivåer."  https://www.dialogosforlag.se/bocker/religion/maria-magdalenas-evangelium.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Religion och Teologi" produceras av Joel Kuhlin, för Centrum för Teologi & Religionsvetenskap.  För kritik eller kommentarer, skriv en rad till religionochteologi@outlook.com.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Särskilt tack till gruppen Nous för musiken

    In this episode of R&T, prof. Elaine Graham from the University of Chester lectures on the topic "Jews, Pagans, Sceptics and Emperors: Christian Apologetics in a Postsecular Age." The lecture was recorded on the 10th Febuary (2020) as a public lecture, at CTR. This is the second lecture in the series ”Beyond secular/religious division. The role of religion in the public sphere in polarized Europe”, presented by the Centre for Theology and Religious Studies and the Centre for European Studies. Abstract for the lecture: "Public theologians have identified a number of different aspects or functions of their discipline, amongst which normative, formative and apologetic tasks figure prominently. This lecture, focuses on the latter task of public theology as one of apologetic dialogue and what it means for public theology to have an apologetic function or quality. That is to say, apologetic public theology upholds the correlational and dialogical basis of theological understanding in relation to wider cultural discourse, and seeks to communicate itself in ways that are faithful both to that particular context and to the wisdom of the Christian tradition. This applies, however, not only to the substance of its critical and constructive contributions, but, in an increasingly pluralist and sceptical cultural environment, extends to an imperative to uphold, in reasonable and widely accessible terms, the fundamental rationale for considering religion to be a legitimate source of public discourse in order for it to be granted a place in the public square.In a religiously pluralist, global context it may be expedient to articulate (and to defend) the values that inform Christian statements about, and interventions in, the public realm. This apologetic function reflects a commitment on the part of public theologians to conduct debates about the public trajectories of faith and practice in ways that are trans¬parent and publicly accessible and defensible.Some of the most significant and foundational events and texts of early Christianity were apologetic in nature. They comprised defences against detractors and persecutors, giving an account of one’s convictions; and commending the faith as just, coherent and credible. However, they were often also in their way examples of public theology: enacted in public assemblies, religious and civic, conducted in a spirit of critical scrutiny and debate. From the second century CE, too, many apologies were petitions addressed to the political authorities, concerning the relationship of Christians to imperial and secular authority, especially when the apologists had reason to believe they were being singled out for unjust treatment. This forms historical precedent for public theology to reassume its apologetic role, to render Christian faith intelligible and credible in a ‘postsecular’ world in which religion is newly and urgently relevant. This historic understanding of early Christian apologists as petitioners to the powers-that-be, calling for justice and civil freedoms must remain a major part of the work of public theologians today." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Religion and Theology is produced by Joel Kuhlin for the Center for Theology and Religious Studies.

Prof. Silvio Ferrari, of University of Milan, writes in the abstract for the lecture: "In this presentation, I argue that the different fortunes of the secular state in the predominantly Jewish, Christian and Muslim countries depend significantly (although not exclusively) on their different religious background and, in particular, on the conception of God’s law that developed in the theological and legal traditions of these three religions. After a short description of what God’s law means in the Jewish, Christian and Islamic legal systems, I shall focus on the different interpretations of the nature and scope of God’s law in these religious traditions. The impact that these differences have on the acceptance (or rejection) of the secular state in Israel and in the Christian and Muslim countries will be examined in the last part of this chapter." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Religion and Theology is produced by Joel Kuhlin for the Center for Theology and Religious Studies.

Arentzen beskriver sin tidigare och nutida forskargärning på följande vis:  "Mina forskningsintressen omfattar bysantinsk kristendom och ekologi. Mer allmänt har jag fokuserat på folklig fromhet och litterära uttryck för kristen tro. Monografin The Virgin in Song från 2017 utforskar karaktäriserangar av Jungfru Maria i senantik poesi. Sedan redigerade jag antologin The Reception of the Virgin in Byzantium. Jag leder nu forskningsprojektet Bortom trädgården: En ekokritisk undersökning av tidigbysantinsk kristendom." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Religion och Teologi" produceras av Joel Kuhlin, för Centrum för Teologi & Religionsvetenskap.  För kritik eller kommentarer, skriv en rad till religionochteologi@outlook.com.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Särskilt tack till gruppen Nous för musiken
