This self-development is focused …

Dans notre article, nous montrons que l'identité religieuse ne devrait pas nécessairement être appréhendée par le concept de converti mais plutôt comme une identité personnelle formée dans le cadre d'un style de vie. À travers l'étude des pratiquants bouddhistes en France et en République tchèque nous analysons les discours sur l'engagement religieux qui accentuent les sentiments intérieurs.
