Decolonizing Hawai‘i through Dance
This article examines the decolonizing potential of Hawaiian hula as taught by kumu hula Roselle Keli‘ihonipua Bailey at Ka ‘Imi Na‘auao O Hawai‘i Nei Institute. Drawing on six months of ethnographic fieldwork in 2023, I show how hula’s relational, land-based aesthetics function as female lived religion rooted in a Kanaka ‘Ōiwi worldview in Hawai‘i. Bailey’s pedagogy cultivates aesthetics that contrast with globalized individualistic spiritualiti…

The study is based on aesthetic data collected in recreational Gaga classes at the Suzanne Dellal Centre in Tel Aviv. The study shows that the aesthetics of practices are relational and depend on a variety of heterogeneous factors; collective and shared aesthetics persist despite individualization. The…
Introduction
As human beings we are impacted on, limited, and enabled—physically and psychologically, physiologically and neurologically—by the exchange and interaction with our material environment, and the so
Vernetzen – Modewort oder nachhaltiges Programm
Mit Mapping Religionswissenschaft wurde versucht, unter der Überschrift „Vernetzung“ einen nachhaltigen Diskurs für religionswissenschaftliche Nachwuchswissenschaftler*innen jenseits von bestehenden Institutionen, Publikationen und Konferenzen (und der Mailingliste Yggdrasil) zu schaffen. Das Essay reflektiert Möglichkeiten und Grenzen bzw. Sinn und Unsinn und (in)offizielle Kommunikationsräume auf, die im Projekt geschehene Weise neu zu schaffen
