The making of faith
American Protestants participate in Eastern Orthodox iconography workshops and use icons. What do these practices and objects mean to the practitioners and how do these meanings materialize? This article answers these questions by demonstrating how participants in the workshops consciously utilized their previous religious and secular knowledge to understand their experience of creating and engaging with icons, and how these practices, at the sam…
Erving Goffman’s Trite Metaphors
The article reconsiders Goffman’s legacy in the light of present-day realities. The author deems the revitalization of cognitive metaphors to be premise and necessary condition for viability of the dramaturgical perspective. Metaphors awaken when they begin to wake us up, come to life when they give us life. In view of this, an attempt has been made to reveal all-too-human and atemporal facets of the tropes we are all very familiar with – in othe…
Between Dog and Wolf
This paper examines the role of absence in Sasha Sokolov’s second novel, Between Dog and Wolf . It argues that the gap is as essential to the constitution of Sokolov’s text as the duality that captures it. Through the interplay between the negative and the positive, the absent and the double, the text transforms the gap into a potential space. In this space, disintegration becomes aesthetic play, and an unintegrated existential experience, ungras…
The Matter of Race
This article looks at how contemporary African American converts to Orthodox Christianity, specifically the members of the Brotherhood of St. Moses the Black,1 use religion to understand and remember the struggle of Black people against racial discrimination in the United States. As I examine how practitioners interpreted and preserved African American history—the attempts to abolish slavery, the fight to end lynching, and the Civil Rights moveme…
Black Orthodox “Visual Piety”
African Americans regularly join Eastern Orthodox churches in the United States. By focusing on what practitioners do with Orthodox icons, this case study explores the processes through which specific experiences and expressions of being an Orthodox Christian become possible and meaningful for African American practitioners. This article suggests that saint veneration became a compelling Orthodox practice to practitioners because it provided a un…
Becoming Eastern Orthodox in diaspora
In this article, I draw on interviews and participant observation data from a two-year-long ethnographic study in a Russian Orthodox parish in the United States. I argue that both the Russian Orthodox immigrants and the Protestant converts to Orthodoxy attending this parish may be usefully thought of as diasporic groups. Seeking to construct their particular Orthodox identity, both groups deal with their own physical and symbolic displacements, a…
