The Radical Traditional: Polarisation and authoritarianism
The contemporary religious landscape has seen an uptick in religious nationalism, rightist politics and other phenomena related to what prominent social thinkers Charles Taylor and Michele Dillon have called the ‘post-secular’. This article briefly summarises continuing research on such a branch of Catholic practice, known as Radical Traditionalism. Embracing pre-modern notions of ritual and related expressions of Catholicism, ‘Rad-Trads’ are inc…
QAnon—Religious Roots, Religious Responses
Conspiracy theories are not new to religion, nor an exclusively modern phenomenon. But they take on more destructive and wide-ranging impact with modern communication technologies. Looking at the root psychosocial mechanisms of conspiracy theories, we argue that they frame ideas, history, and culture through the cognitive mindscape of special, ‘hidden knowledge’. They also serve as a unifying theory of conflict and narration of history. The COVID…
From Herland to #MeToo: Utopia or Dystopia
Some of the impetus of the #MeToo movement may derive from feminist imaginings of utopia—popularized recently in films like Wonder Woman (2017). One hundred years before the #MeToo movement, a feminist utopia was envisioned in the novel Herland (published serially between 1910–1916) by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a first-wave American feminist novelist and sociologist. This article explores the tropes of #MeToo’s parallel mythological construction …

What Happened to Praxis? Toward a Public Sociology Considering the Occupation of the West Bank

It examines the inequalities of Israeli-Arab casualties in recent conflicts, including the Lebanon War (2006) and Gaza (ongoing), and the bias in media reports. It also examines the legacy of Orientalism by discussing religion, “terrorism,” sociological notions of objectivity and American political objectives
