Discourses on Religious Diversity
Religious diversity is an ever present, and increasingly visible, reality in cities across the world. It is an issue of immediate concern to city leaders and members of religious communities but do we really know what ordinary members of the public, the people who live in the city, really think about it? Major news items, inter-religious violence and notorious public events often lead to negative views being expressed, especially among those who …
Evidencing superdiversity in the census and beyond
Starting from the proposition, in both my own work and that of Steve Vertovec, that there is something about superdiverse neighbourhoods or societies that is qualitatively different from those that are merely diverse, this paper asks whether it is possible to identify religious superdiversity within quantitative population data, such as the census in England and Wales, in order to test such a proposition. In doing this the paper will ask whether …
Sociological History of Christian Worship
Listening to the Language, Listening to the Words and Listening to the Spaces between the Words
The article argues for the need to look beyond the texts used within the context of interreligious dialogue, and to focus just as much on the context and the way in which the texts are expected to be heard.

By looking at the use of rhetoric and pragmatics within his own contribution to this event, he raises questions about the way in which those…

Rethinking Animism
Je considere ici l'oeuvre classique de E.B. Tylor intitulee La Culture Primitive, et plus particulierement les aspects de cette oeuvre qui traitent de l'animisme. Je discute quelques-uns des ouvrages critiques sur l'animisme et demontre que la plupart de ces critiques ont en fait mal interprete les intentions originales de Tylor concernant sa 'theorie des origines' et le sens qu'il donne a la notion d''esprit', entre autres. Ensuite, tournant mon…
