Abstract

Buddhism is often portrayed as a universalising religion that transcends the local and directs attention toward a transcendent dharma. Yet, wherever Buddhism spreads, it also sparks local identity discourses that, directly or indirectly, root the dharma in native soil and history, and, in doing so, frame ‘the local’ in Buddhist discourse. Occasionally, notably in Japanese Shinto and Tibetan Bön, this localising variety of ‘framing of discourse’—here tentatively termed ‘nativism’—leads to the establishment of independent traditions that break free from Buddhism; yet, in other contexts, localising trends remain firmly embedded within Buddhism. In Challenging Paradigms: Buddhism and Nativism Teeuwen and Blezer offer a comparative study of localising responses to Buddhism in different Buddhist environments in Japan, Korea, Tibet, India and Bali.

Abstract

In a world of increasingly heterogeneous societies, matters of identity politics and the links between collective identities and national, racial, or ethnic intolerance have assumed dramatic significance - and have stimulated an enormous body of research and literature which rarely transcends the limitations of a national perspective, however, and thus reproduces the limitations of its own topic. Comparative attempts are rare, if not altogether absent. Identity and Intolerance attempts to shift the focus toward comparison in order to show how German and American societies have historically confronted matters of national, racial, and ethnic inclusion and exclusion. This perspective sheds light on the specific links between the cultural construction of nationhood and otherness, the political modes of integration and exclusion, and the social conditions of tolerance and intolerance. The contributors also attempt to integrate the approaches offered by the history of ideas and ideologies, social history, and discourse theory.

Abstract

The 1870 Ghost Dance was a significant but too often disregarded transformative historical movement with particular impact on the Native peoples of northern California. The spiritual energies of this "great wave," as Peter Nabokov has called it, have passed down to the present day among Native Californians, some of whose contemporary individual and communal lives can be understood only in light of the dance and the complex religious developments inspired by it.

Abstract

Dans ce livre, à travers le prisme de la mystique, sont présentées des perspectives didactiques sur les messianismes, les prophétismes et les millénarismes, autrement exprimé la mystique et la théologie politique, qui conditionnent souvent les recherches pour des périodes tout aussi difficiles que formatrices comme le judaïsme et le christianisme de l'Antiquité classique et tardive, voire l'islam des premiers siècles, lesquelles sont aux fondements des temps modernes et contemporains. Périodes complexes, en effet, non pas seulement à cause de la spécificité parcellaire et orientée de la documentation de ces religions, mais aussi pour d'autres raisons qui tiennent parfois aux idées que l'on se fait sur les origines de ces religions encore vivantes et dont les manifestations théologiques et spirituelles, souvent spectaculaires, sont toujours indéfiniment et richement développées : tous azimuts, et sans aucun souci réel de contextualisation culturelle et politique. --
