Religious, nonreligious, and faith-based activism in the rebuilding of the Garrison Church in Potsdam
The aim of this contribution is to further understanding of how religious materiality becomes a focus of activism. Religion is present in a variety of ways in a secularised public space, and various people focus their activism around this presence – there are those who identify themselves as believers, those for whom religion is a part of cultural heritage, as well as those for whom religious materiality is mostly about aesthetics and cultural pl…
Church Building as a Secular Endeavour: Three Cases from Eastern Germany
Political secularism can be defined as a kind of political philosophy that sees the secular state as setting the terms of encounter between the secular and the religious. However, religion and religious organisations are not necessarily seen as oppositional to the secular state; there can be myriad forms of coexistence between secular and religious authorities. The argument forwarded in this article is based on ethnographic research focussing on …
Forum: Russia's Invasion of Ukraine
It has been a year since the Russian invasion of Ukraine started. It is clear that the impact of this war goes far beyond Ukraine. We already know that it will have long-lasting consequences for the regional and global economy, in particular for energy and food security. The war is reshuffling old geo-political arrangements and alliances. It is also shaping the political landscapes of European states: international relations, inflation and migrat…
Góry Ałtaju nie mają duchów. Etnografia poza człowiekiem
W niniejszym artykule staram się ponownie spojrzeć na wyniki badań, które prowadziłam na Ałtaju między 1994 a 2008 rokiem. Zastanawiam się czy podejścia posthumanistyczne mogą zaproponować nowy kierunek analizy, lepiej oddający moje etnograficzne doświadczenie, którego centrum stanowił Ałtaj, odbierany przez jego mieszkańców jako byt konstytutywny, podstawowy czy węzłowy. Inspiracją jest dla mnie zwrot ontologiczny, rozumiany wyłącznie jako propo…
Europe in the Woods: Reflections on the Situation at the Polish-Belarusian Border
For a few months in the summer and autumn of 2021, the eastern EU border became the focus of international media attention due to the political events accompanying the presence of refugees from the Middle East and Northern Africa. This ethnographic snapshot shows the idiosyncrasy of this migration route and reflects on the situation where people tried to help the refugees, despite the criminalisation of help by the Polish state. The reaction of t…
A border‐as‐tidemarks in the Polish–German borderland
Since 2004, when Poland joined the EU, and especially since 2007, when it joined the Schengen zone, the Polish–German border, formerly perceived and experienced as highly controlled, has been increasingly described as a disappearing one. Yet the border as a spatial organisation of difference is still a part of the everyday experience of the inhabitants of the region. Especially younger Polish people see the border as a valuable resource, with a p…
O potrzebie antropologicznych badań organizacyjnego wymiaru religii
On the Need for Anthropological Study of the Organizational Dimension of Religion Qualitative research on religion often overlooks its organizational aspect, even though most of religious life takes place within an organizational framework. Religious organizations are active on many levels: they educate and control religious specialists, shape religious materiality, and in many other ways influence how relationships with the sacred are conceptual…

Postreligijne i niereligijne wykorzystanie budynków kościelnych na przygraniczu polsko-niemieckim
In the northern part of the former GDR there are many church buildings that are renovated, well taken care of but serving small number of believers. Although retaining some religious functions, they are at the same time used by actors that define themselves as not religious. Using concepts of nonreligous and postreligious as analytical terms referring to specific kinds of relations between religious and secular fields, I analyze cases of three Pr…
Trust, organisational boundaries and gender: Mothers Prayers in Ukraine
This article is focused on the Ukrainian branch of an international prayer network Mothers Prayers and its relations with the hierarchy of the Greek Catholic Church. The argument made here can be located within investigations on the transformations of religion and gender relations under Soviet socialism and the post-Soviet conditions (Buckley 1997; Kormina et al. 2015; Luehrmann 2011; Ngo and Quijada 2015; Wanner 2012). While a gender-focused ana…
Suffering for and against the church. The politics of memory and repression in the Mukachevo Greek Catholic Eparchy
This article analyses the significance of martyrdom and suffering in struggles over collective memory in contemporary Transcarpathian Ukraine and beyond. Through an analysis of the discourses of suffering that developed around the canonisation process of the so-called priests-martyrs-votaries of faith (sviashchenniki-muchenniky-ispovidnyki viry), I show that the notion of suffering under the Soviet regime is mobilised to strengthen the moral auth…
Apparitional Movements as Sites of Religious Experimentation
Based on an analysis of existing literature on Marian apparitions and field research-based case study from contemporary Transcarpathian Ukraine, this article asserts that an interpretation of Marian apparitional movements as a form of acquiescence to the authoritarian and conservative vision of the Catholic Church is too simplistic. The Virgin Mary appears in moments of crisis that are often caused or exacerbated by conflicts, especially ecclesia…
Agnieszka Pasieka, Hierarchy and pluralism: Living religious difference in Catholic Poland
The concept of hierarchical pluralism, which Agnieszka Pasieka introduces in her book based on fieldwork in Rozstaje district in southeast Poland, is likely to receive considerable resonance in soc
Emotions and Authority in Religious Organisations
This article reflects on the place of emotionally arousing ex- periences within religious organisations. Using data obtained through participant observation and interviews, it outlines a research approach for investigations of the interrelationships between particular features of religious practices. Those features have been pointed out in many previous anthropo- logical and sociological works, but few works attempted to analyse connections and i…

National, transnational or cosmopolitan heroine? The Virgin Mary's apparitions in contemporary Europe
This article analyses the pilgrimage which took place in August 2007 between two Marian apparitions' sites, both of which had been strongly involved in processes of national identity production. The instrumentalizations of the Virgin Mary within national ideologies have been frequently analysed. However, her cult also triggers the development of transnational networks. Hence it is important to ask about the kind of attitudes and identities that a…

Size and Place in the Construction of Indigeneity in the Russian Federation
Within the Russian Federation there are nearly 200 recognized "nationalities," approximately 130 of which could claim to be "indigenous." However, only 45 peoples are officially recognized as "indigenous small-numbered peoples of the Russian Federation" and thereby qualify for the rights, privileges, and state support earmarked for indigenous peoples. This status is conditioned upon a maximum group size of 50,000. While experts insist that this n…
The Telengits of Southern Siberia: Landscape, Religion and Knowledge in Motion
In a new and engaging study, Halemba explores the religion and world outlook of the Telengits of Altai. The book provides an account of the Altai, its peoples, clans and political structures, focusing particularly on on the Telengits, whilst also considering the different elements of religious belief exhibited among these native peoples. Paradoxically, as the demand for national recognition grows among such people, and with it the need for more f…
