Religion and utopia: A Critical Overview of the Field
As with bad breath, ideology is always what the other person has. (Eagleton 2004)Terry Eagleton’s statement is, in a transposed sense, also true for utopia. Normatively laden uses of the term have
Utopias for Boomers: Religion, Psychology, and Sovereignty in the Long Sixties
This article discusses the intertwining of religion and politics in utopian imaginaries against the backdrop of Robert Yelle’s recent theoretical reflections on the relationship between the ‘sacred’ and Carl Schmitt’s idea of a ‘state of exception.’ It argues that in utopian imaginaries, the convergence of the religious and political domains becomes apparent in the postulation of an antinomian ‘Archimedean point of view’ that provides a foundatio…

Art, Desire, and God: Phenomenological Perspectives
Bringing together thinkers from philosophy of religion, religious studies, music, art, and film, while drawing on a wealth of phenomenological resources and methods, a team of renowned scholars provide new vantages on the question of how art is an expression of the human desire for God. In three interrelated parts, chapters employ phenomenological tools to propose new ways for speaking of the desire for God. Scholars first draw upon music, sculpt…

Religion und religious-social engineering: R(el)ationale Gestaltung von Religion als Erbe der langen 1960er Jahre
Emic and Etic
The emic/etic distinction originated in linguistics in the 1950s to designate two complementary standpoints for the analysis of human language and behaviour. It has been subject to debates in the humanities and social sciences ever since. Imported into anthropology in the 1960s, etic came to stand for ambitions to establish an objective, scientific approach to the study of culture, whereas emic refers to the goal of grasping the world according t…
La formation des cadres musulmans en Suisse: D’un casse-tête à l’autre
Cette contribution explore la tension entre stagnation et innovation dans le domaine de la formation de cadres religieux et associatifs musulmans en Suisse depuis le tournant du nouveau millénaire. Dans un premier temps, elle offre une présentation synthétique de la place de l’islam dans le paysage religieux helvétique et discute quelques jalons des débats récents sur la formation des cadres musulmans. Ensuite, elle se penche sur les interactions…
Religion as Social Reality
In this article I argue that the shift from a private to a public–social understanding of religion raises new ontological and epistemological questions for the scientific study of religion\s. These questions are deeply related to three central features of the emic–etic debate, namely the problems of intentionality, objectivity, and comparison. Focusing on these interrelated issues, I discuss the potential of John Searle’s philosophy of society fo…
A Matter of Perspective
This article introduces the emic–etic debate in the scientific study of religion\s and provides a frame for the special issue’s six articles on the topic. Departing from the broader debate’s early history in the 1960s, this article contextualizes the emic–etic debate and locates its point of entry into the scientific study of religion\s in the 1980s. This article argues that in the course of the debate the insider–outsider and emic–etic complexes…
Patterns of Religious Education Policy in Switzerland: The Long Arm of Distanced Christians
In spite of its different cantonal jurisdictions and traditions, the development of religious education in Switzerland over the past decade has taken a common direction: the state has assumed a more active role in the field of religious education in public (state-run) schools. In this article, we ask the question: How do key social actors interpret these reforms and how do these interpretations relate to the social structure of religion in Switze…
