The Invisible Religion (1967) by Thomas Luckmann: Still an Inspiring Program for the Study of Contemporary Religion
Thomas Luckmann’s The Invisible religion was first published in English in 1967 and has now, in 2023, at last been reprinted in a new, expanded edition. The book still opens vistas and raises challenges that are at the center of the study of religion today: how to conceptualize religion, how to trace “invisible,” in particular non-institutional, religion, and how to conceive the contemporary transformation of religion. After introducing the autho…
Pillarization (‘Verzuiling’). On Organized ‘Self-Contained Worlds’ in the Modern World
Movements and groups abound in modern society. Sometimes, a movement or group succeeds in mobilizing a large section of the population and thoroughly knitting it together, by building a pervasive subculture and by setting up a vast interrelated network of organizations, resulting in a seemingly impenetrable and powerful bloc. This happened to different degrees in most Western countries, including the United States and Canada. It is also occurring…
Chapter One. Religious Orthodoxy As A Modality Of “Adaptation”
The title of the authors contribution is inspired by Marilyn Robinson Waldman's article Tradition as a Modality of Change. Waldman shows how Muslims , including traditionalists, use Islamic traditions in contemporary society to bring about and legitimise change - all kinds of change, since both the traditions invoked and the changes desired are very diverse. The author considers orthodoxy as a possible and often successful strategy of adaptation.…
From 'Catholicism Against Modernity' to the Problematic 'Modernity of Catholicism'
Since the French Revolution the relationship between the Catholic church and modernity has always been very troublesome. First I will describe how the church saw its own position with regard to modernity and how its stance evolved. In a second stage, I will then focus on how modernity `framed' Catholicism: this I will refer to as the modernity and modernization of Catholicism. The insights obtained will be used in a third part in order to get a b…
The Emergence of Green Parties in Western Europe
The Rise of the Paris Red Belt
Beyond the European Left: Ideology and Political Action in the Belgian Ecology Parties
The Left-Right Semantics and the New Politics Cleavage
Since the 1960s, political scientists have debated the continued relevance of the left-right vocabulary for structuring policy choices and party affiliation in the mass publics of modern democracies. With the rise of “new politics” and “left-libertarian” movements and parties that try to redefine the political agenda of advanced democracies this issue has gained additional interest. In this article we first present four theories about the decline…
Standard language in Flanders: Policy versus evolution
