"Secular Religions: The Key Concepts provides a concise guide to those ideologies, worldviews, and social, political, economic, and cultural phenomena that are most often described as the modern counterparts of traditional religions. Although there are many other terms in use (quasi, pseudo, ersatz, political, civil, etc.), it is "secular religion" that best expresses the problematic nature of all such descriptions which maintain that modern belief systems and practices are secular on the one hand and religious on the other. Today, the topic is as popular as ever, and secular religions are discovered far and wide. Hence, a critical summary is urgently necessary. The juxtaposed title is itself an expression of ironic distance. The book emphasizes inherent tensions of relevant literature in a critical and informative fashion. The author provides over 100 entries, from abortion to wokeness, as well as a detailed introduction, which gives an overview of the different definitions of "religion" and "secular religion" as well as the history of secular-religious comparisons. The main text reconstructs the argument of several key works on each given topic, while lists of sources for further reading are provided at the end of each entry. This book provides a clear introduction to "secular religions" and will appeal to researchers and students of religious studies, political philosophy, political theology, the history of ideologies, and cultural studies"--

The Routledge International Handbook of Sociology and Christianity examines the intersection of the sociology of religion – a long-standing focus of sociology as a discipline – and Christianity – the world’s largest religion. An internationally representative and thematically comprehensive collection, it analyzes both the sociology of Christianity and Christian approaches to sociology, with attention to the Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant branches of Christianity. An authoritative, state-of-the-art review of current research, it is organized into five inter-connected thematic sections, considering the overlapping emergence of both the Christian religion and the social science, the conceptualization of and engagement with Christianity by sociological theory, the ways in which Christianity shapes and is shaped by various social institutions, the manner in which Christianity resists and promotes various forms of social change, and the identification, diagnosis, and correction of social problems by sociology and Christianity. This volume is an invaluable collection for scholars and advanced students, with special appeal for those working in the fields of sociology and social theory, as well as religious studies and theology

El libro enfoca la relación entre traducción, paratraducción y sociedad, promoviendo discusiones sobre la pertinencia de observar detalles (poco) perceptibles de textos y paratextos que determinan la comprensión de lo que se traduce y paratraduce. Expertos analizan cómo la manipulación ideológica, tanto sutil como explícita, afecta el proceso de (para)traducción. A partir de un recorrido teórico acerca de la noción de paratraducción, el volumen posee una temática contemporánea que trata desde la traducción de textos feministas, la parainterpretación en el medio social, la paratraducción de textos religiosos, de cómics y de videojuegos, hasta el análisis paratradutivo político y de la inteligencia artificial. Así, este libro se consolida como una fuente de referencia para la comunidad científica internacional y, en particular, para aquellos interesados en la noción de la paratraducción y su relación con la sociedad. The book addresses the relationship between translation, paratranslation and society, discussing how the observation of (little) perceptible details in texts and paratexts is relevant to their understanding and translation. Experts analyze how ideological manipulation, both subtle and explicit, affects the process of (para)translation—in feminist, religious, or political texts, as well as in comics or video games.

"The book demonstrates how the Russian thought and literature of the 18th - 19th centuries influenced Jewish thought and Hebrew literature. Through a comparative analysis of an extensive corpus of writings by renowned Russian and Jewish thinkers, the book reveals how ideas regarding the need for a national awakening penetrated from Russian to Jewish thought. The Jewish thinkers who embraced these notions adapted them to the reality and experience of Jewish life in Central and Eastern Europe. Likewise, portrayals of an individual's quest for the authentic and just God in Russian literary works gained purchase in ideological Hebrew literature, where the hero searches for a true path to achieve spiritual, social, and national well-being for the Jewish people. Absorption of ideological influences is a universal phenomenon that is instrumental to progress and cultural development, and it is accepted in Jewish culture as well"--

The essays in this volume examine contemporary criticism and literary theory as responses to questions elicited by readers' recognition of the presence of ideology in literary works. These responses are themselves ideological. The term "ideology" here designates a system of ideas in criticism and theory. This system allows the reader/critic to read ideology in literature according to prevalent conceptions regarding gender, race, reality, political, social and cultural situations, the use of ethics in literature, and literature itself. The examples of ideology studied here deal with principal critical and theoretical orientations and cover a broad geographical range - the Americas, European countries, India, China, etc. The diversity of the use of ideology in literary studies is critical, while at the same time it fully recognizes literature's status as literature. This volume is organized in 2 parts: Theory and ideology, Literary/Cultural Production and Pedagogy.

Literature --- Ideology and literature. --- Théorie littéraire --- Idéologie et littérature --- Critique littéraire --- Philosophy. --- History and criticism --- Theory, etc. --- Théorie littéraire. --- Idéologie et littérature. --- Critique littéraire.
