Die Erdbeben vom Februar 2023 und das kulturelle Erbe interreligiöser Beziehungen in Antakya (Antiochien)
In Search for Human Dignity
This article aims at addressing the question of human dignity in the face of the suffering that people of the city of Antakya (formerly Antioch) experienced after the devastating earthquakes on February 6, 2023. The main question the article raises is concerned with the impact the destruction of shared sacred sites has on the heritage of the city and the dynamics of intercultural and interreligious relations among its different communities. The t…
Ritual
Narrative Cultures and the Aesthetics of Religion
Narrative Cultures and the Aesthetics of Religion presents the aesthetics of narrativity in religious contexts by approaching narrative acts as situated modes of engaging with reality, equally shaped by the immersive character of the stories told and the sensory qualities of their performances. Introducing narrative cultures as an integrative framework of analysis, the volume builds a bridge between classical content-based approaches to narrative…

Introductory note on play and ritual
Playing with frames of reference in veneration rituals
Paradigmatic shifts in anthropological theory shape the ways in which play and ritual are conceptualized. By demarcating these shifts, the argument is made that an analysis of both play and ritual must start with the possibility of choice as distributed among participants who engage in play and ritual as forms of social practice. Taking the dynamics of framing in play and ritual and the patterns emerging in social interaction as a point of depart…

In contrast to other fields of anthropological research, an anthropology of Islam must consider the global dissemination and local appropriation of Islam as a tradition spanning various time periods and geographical regions. Concurrently, Islam must be studied empirically and contextually, which poses a challenge to conceptualizing the unity and diversity of Islamic practice and discourse. Such a challenge leads to a constellation of methodologic…
Ritual
This entry surveys the etymology of the term and the history of the anthropological concept of ritual. After presenting the earliest anthropological approaches to ritual, it discusses ethnographic accounts of rituals that are based on insights gained through ethnographic fieldwork and traces the impact these accounts had on subsequent theories of ritual. By reviewing classical approaches along with some of the most recent developments in theorizi…
Dynamics of Ritual Reflexivity in the Alevi Cem of Istanbul
The Alevi cem is a communal ritual that is performed weekly among members of a major religious minority in Turkey. Although formerly celebrated exclusively in rural village communities, this ritual became publicly accessible at the end of the 1980s when Alevi cultural associations were opened in the urban centers of Turkey. Since it was made public, the cem has undergone significant changes in the internal dynamics of its performance and in the f…
Implications of Micro-Scale Comparisons for the Study of Entangled Religious Traditions
This article applies the comparative methodology proposed by Oliver Freiberger to a case study on Christian-Muslim relations at a shared sacred site in Antakya (formerly Antioch), which belongs to Hatay, the southernmost city of Turkey. Specifically, this case study deals with the veneration of the Muslim saint Habib-i Neccar in the center of the old city of Antakya. Besides discussing some general questions pertaining to the methodical procedure…

Transformations of a ‘religious’ nation in a global world
In an increasingly globalised world, matters of national identity are no longer confined solely to domestic politics. This paper proposes that Christianity in South Korea is engaged in a mutually reinforcing relationship with the construction of Korean national identity, particularly concerning historical dynamics of both Westernisation and the formation of nationalism. In positioning the role of religion in the creation of a national image, the …
Discursive Formation, Ethnographic Encounter, Photographic Evidence
Historical research on the work of Émile Durkheim has often been confined to textual analysis aiming to reconstruct his research in the context of anthropological discourses at the turn of the 20th century. As radical changes in the visual culture of the late 19th century shaped the formation of anthropology as an academic discipline, the ambition of this article is to elaborate the ways Durkheim's use of ethnographic data and visual material for…
