WiSe 16/17: "Community and Faith A Social History of Religion in Modern Societies"
Martin Lutz
Kommentar
How important is religion in modern societies? Some scholars argue that modernization and secularization go hand in hand. The more modern a society is, the less religious it becomes. Others stress the persisting influence of religion in modern societies, be it in politics, culture or economics. Prominent sociologists have engaged in this academic debate, which is also this years’ German “Historikertag” central theme. This seminar will cover the current debate and critically assess its key concepts (religion, modernity, secularization, etc.). It will approach the question “is religion important in modern societies” from a social history perspective. In addition to religious faith, the course will look at how social structures shape continuity or change in religious communities. In the empirical section, we will compare the social history of cases in the 19th and 20th centuries in a global perspective, covering Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism and Islam. The seminar will be taught in English. Schließen
