Religiøs argumentation som religionsfænomenologisk forskningsområde
Authors: Aktor Mikael 
Published: February 2018

This article is a reflection on the specific character of religious assertations and religious arguments. The basic point of view is that these religious practices should not be investigated as isolated religious phenomena sui generis, but on the contrary, that they are conditioned by and derived from common linguistic and epistemological practices that relate to the concrete material world. Religious assertations join together finction and description of the world, whereas religious arguments refer todata which are either quasi-empiric (a holy scripture for instance) or quasi-public (a mystical experience for instance). in four text examples these derivations are investigated in the light of a two-component definition of religion, which stresses the concept of an essential difference as well as the concept of a possibility of a passage to an fro between essentially differenct categories.
K.E. Løgstrups tanker tangeret
Authors: Gregersen Niels Henrik 
Published: February 2018

In his philosophical dissertation that can be translated as K.E. Løgstrup. A Modern Prophet (1992), Hans Hauge proposed the thesis that the philosophy of Løgstrup, from first to last, tales leave of any epistemological foundation. In this critical evaluation, the author supports the interpretation by Hauge that Løgstrup's appeal to ontology in fact refers to ever changing life situations with each of their own characteristics. However, one has to distinguish between epistemologies. Already in 1933, Løgstrup opposed Husserl's epistemology of the transcendental ego. But only much later, Løgstrup criticized Heidegger for his universalization of the regional ontology of historicity. This metaphysical "Kehre" can be dated between January and September 1969. Furthermore, in his late philosophy, Løgstrup not simply abandoned epistemology. Rather, he developed a non-foundational epistemology on the basis of an interplay between historical understanding, rooted in the need for self-preservation, and the "useless", albeit penetrating sense qualities of the world.
Samtale mellem religion og filosofi
Authors: Thomassen Niels 
Published: February 2018

Universal philosophy of religion is occupied with religion as a human manifestation, its essence and its function in human life. Special philosophy of religion is entrusted with giving a rational elucidation of the teachings of a particular religion, e.g. christianity. the medieval philosophers operated in this way and so do modern philosophers of religion as Kierkegaard and Løgstrup. In principle there is no difference between philosophy of religion and philisophy of science. The tasks of christian philosophy of religion are of the same kind as the tasks of philosophy of science and humanities get from phychoanalytic interpretation of literature, semiotics or hermeneutical bioloy.Philosophy has difficulties in answering the problems which traditionally have been answered by religion. Philosophy is a confession to reason, but the totally rational world is a caricature. Philosophy and reason are not the highest forms of life, but ought to take up a serving function. therefore the paper concludes in a dichotomy between academic considerations and some unacademic aphorisms.
Urenhedsforestillinger i den monastiske kultur
Authors: Schönbeck Oluf 
Published: February 2018

A number of statements by the eleventh centurt ascetic Peter Damian concerning purity, impurity and purification are interpreted by means of the so-called Container Schema formulated by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson. According to Lakoff and Johnson humans experience teir bodies as containers and as things in containers. Containers are characterized by the following structural elements: interior, boundary, exterior. Peter Damian is shown to describe impurity as a state of defilement, disease of bodily injury - all phenomena that are caused by a threatened or an actual breakdown of the boundary of the container, i.e. the human skin, the main purpose of which is to separate the interior from the m enacing exterior. Basically then, impurity is seen as a result of an invasion of the body by foreign substances through the natural orifices, e.g. the senses, or through lesions - substances that may in their turn bring about unwanted discharges in the shape of e.g. semen or - in a metaphorical sense - sinful behaviour. Acts of purification are described by Damian in terms of the same container metaphor. Finally, it is suggested that the container metaphor may serve as a tool in analysing ideas of impurity outside a Christian, monastic context.
På sporet af en mytes oprindelse
Authors: Leopold Anita Maria 
Published: February 2018

This article is a rereading of Friedrich Max Müller’s theory of the origin and growth of religion and mythology in the light of modern cognitive theories. The intention of this research is to draw attention to Max Müller’s linguistic and cognitive hypothesis of mythology and religion and compare it to modern cognitive theories presented by Mark Turner, Gilles Fauconnier, George Lakoff and Mark Johnson. In the theory of Max Müller, notions such as ‘myth being a disease of language’ and ‘man’s propensity to religion’ originate from a certain ‘mental faculty’, which reveals an ontologically distinct definition of religion. According to Max Müller, myth is the result of the defective attempt of early language to classify the surrounding world of man. These theories, which have been considered idiosyncratic and useless, appear more plausible in the light of current cognitive linguistics, and Max Müller’s intuitions are viewed in the light of these recent theories.
Religion og forståelse
Authors: Bilde Per 
Published: February 2018

The essay represents the author's inaugural lecture held on 7 December 2001 as a professor at the Department of the Study of Religion. The essay is partly a summary of the author's recently published monograph En religion bliver til, partly an elaboration of one of the main theses of the book. The development of early Christianity is closely related to a need for interpretation. Looking at 1 Cor 1:18-25; Rom 11:25-27; Matt 13:9-17; Mark 8:14-12 and Luke 24:13-32 Bilde attempts to find tracks in the early Jesus-texts that indicate the efforts of the Jesus-movement to understand and interpret Jesus, his message, fate and importance.
Kristendom og hellenisme - en skæbnesvanger konstruktion
Authors: Petersen Anders Klostergaard 
Published: February 2018

This essay - representing an elaborated version of the author's inaugural lecture as an associate professor at the Department of the Study of Religion - is a critical survey of the classical scholarly discussion of Hellenism that particularly focuses on the Judaism-Hellenism dichotomy. By an exposition of the intellectual history of the background to the debate (notably Droysen), the author argues that the discussion has to a great extent been subject to the influence of a perceptual filter, representing a Christian apologietic concern - the scope of which is not fully recognised. Hellenism has served as a significant flottant capable of being attributed almost any meaning, but ultimately the category itself stems from a Christian concern, i.e. to construct a period serving as a legitimising cultural and religio-historical foilage for the appearance of early Christianity.Although some important cultural changes do occur subsequent to Alexander the Great (an increased tendency towards urbanisation, important military innovation, for example), they do not constitute tendencies that may be extended to include a universal sultural watershed common to the entire Mediterranean and extra-Mediterranian world and uniting it across the centuries. In addition to that, the discussion is suffering from a deficient interpretation of culture and identity. tghe meeting of different cultures and the confusions of different cultural traditions are perceived in terms of 'pure cultures'. Culture is ontologised or naturalised to the exten that a meeting of cultures is conceived of in terms of separate and fundamentally different cultures that are simultaneously understood to be internally homogenous. Each person is thought to be a carrier or container of his or her culture, thus for instance the Jew incarnating or representing Judaism in its entirelt. From this perspective divergent, modes of dultures are perceived in terms of cultural or religious contaminataion. Culture, however, does not exist - except as an abstraction - in such pure forms. It is per definition a messy affair.In conclusion I think that in future research we should refrain from using the category of Hellenism is the all-sweeping manner in which it has been used. In fact we should be very careful, when using Judaism, Hellenism or any other taxonomic abstraction, not to commit an 'ontological dumping', reifying concepts which exist only by virtue of scholarly categorisations. Rather than to continue to use a misunderstandable term and an ideologically biased category strongly dependent on a Christian perceptual filter, we should begin looking for the decisive innovations, the important cultural and religious changes, which at particular places and in specific periods may allow us to construe cultural watersheds.
Det hebræiske bibeloversættelsesprojekt
Authors: Herbener Jean-André P. 
Published: February 2018

The guidelines of a planned translation of the Hebrew Bible into Danish and as an annotated sample translation of selected texts were published in Denmark last year. The work is based on a pilot project initiated in 1998 and completed in 2001. It is the intention that a retranslation of the Hebrew Bible will be published continously the following nine years, divided in eight annotated publications with a translation of the Pentateuch being the first.The purpose of The Hebrew Bible Translation Project is to work out a Danish translation of the Hebrew Bible on a scholarly and secular foundation. This article presents what this purpose implies, and it discusses some of the methodical and hermeneutical considerations constituting the basis of the translation, as compared with other Biblie translations.According to the publishers a secular scholarly translation implies that the Hebrew Bible texts must be reproduced in accordance with the geographical, historical and religious context in which they were written, and that no consideration must be taken of the historical effects of the text in post-biblical traditions or, consequently, to the perception and usage of the texts by modern religious communities.In this respect, the new project differs not only from the older, but also from the majority of modern Bible translations, based on a mixture between strictly scholarly and traditional/confessional considerations.
Forholdet mellem teologi og religionsvidenskab
Authors: Theissen Gerd 
Published: February 2018

Theology and the Study of Religion answer distinct questions: Theology is committed to the truth of a concrete religion, but lacks universality. The Study of Religion deals with all religions, but brackets off questions of truth. For the time being, they both are incomplete because all academic studies must combine universality and truth. They both need one another. An outline shows how in general the Study of Religion may help Theology to a better understanding of its task - especially by explaining the theological contrast "revelation vs. religion" as a typical phenomenon of a "secondary religion" which originated by criticism of primary religions.
Fra huskult til basilika
Authors: Bilde Per 
Published: February 2018

It is still an astonishing fact that no material remains of early Christian churches have been found antedating the building in Dura-Europos at the Euphrat River in present day Iraq. It was a usual private dwelling house that in 241 was rebuilt and transformed into a Christian cult place. This building, however, in no way resembled the magnificent Christian basilicas that were built from the time of Constantine the Great (ruling 306/324-337), and only the baptistery in the rebuilt houses proves that it actually was a Christian building. In the present article I briefly scetch the history of the development of the Christian cult building from the private meeting places at the time of the New Testament to the Constantinian basilicas. The main purpose, however, is to discuss the character of the Christian cult house in relation to a number of related earlier and contemporary types of buildings such as the classical Hellenistic-Roman temples, the Jewish synagogue and a number of Graeco-Roman buildings that can be reagrded as historical forerunners of the Christian church building: the Greek counsel hall (bouleutêrion), the hall of initiation (e.g. Eleusis), the lecture hall (such as gymnasium and stoa), the Greek and Near Eastern cult theatres, the roman basilica and the Roman mithraeum. From the beginning, obviously, the Christian cult building was a meeting house like the Greek counsel hall, the roman basilica and the Jewish synagogue. But it was also a dining room, and, at least from 241, with thebatistery in Dura-Europos, it also became a hall of initiation. Thus, the Christian cult building developed by uniting a number of eatlier types of buildings, secular and sacred, and from the time of Constantine, the Christian basilica united the secular Greek meeting house, which was continued and further developed in the Jewish synagogue, the Greek hall of initiation, and the classical Graeco-Roman Temple.
Xunzis ritualanalyse
Authors: Nielsen Klaus Bo 
Published: February 2018

Denne artikel undersøger en oldkinesisk filosofs syn på ritua­lernes praksis i samspil med moderne sociologiske forståelser af religion. Den ritual­teoretiker, jeg her vil beskæftige mig med, er de er n kinesiske forfatter Xunzi eller Xun Kuang (310-230 f. Kr.). I hans afhandling om ritualer (Li Lun) går han videre end blot at beskrive den rituelle akt, og anlægger en mere distanceret indstilling til ritualet og skitserer dermed en sociologisk baseret ritualteori, som har lighedspunkter med klassiske positioner som Durkheim, Radcliff-Brown og Rappaport. Det er i dette lys, at Xunzis ritualteori fortjener at blive taget alvorligt.

“Deres bøn ved Huset består kun af fløjten og klappen i hænderne” (sura 8:35): Forhandling og strategier om procession i Koranen
Authors: Christiansen Johanne Louise 
Published: February 2018

English abstract: In this article, I pose the question of whether and to what extent processional practices are treated in the Qur’an and early Sunnī ‘pietist’ Islamic traditions. I argue that the demonstrative and participative type of procession is relevant in relation to the Islamic pilgrimage (hajj), in particular to the circumambulation (ṭawāf) around the Kaʿba; but also that certain aspects of this ritual complex generated some ideological uneasiness among the Qur’anic community (Q 2:158; 8:35). As such, the Qur’an contains a negotiation between an axial ideal of anti-procession and an aim of long-time durability of the text and ‘Qur’anic religion’. Not criticising the earlier ritual practices too much may have been a pragmatic strategy to incorporate as many adherents as possible. As long as the conducting of prayer was at the center of the ritual, circumambulation could also be accepted.

Dansk resume: I denne artikel stiller jeg spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt og i hvilken grad Koranen og de tidlige ‘pietistiske’ sunnī-islamiske traditioner behandler processionslignende praksisser. Jeg argumenterer, at den demonstrative og participative processionstype er relevante i forhold til den islamiske valfart (hajj) og specifikt til circumambulationen (ṭawāf) om Kaʿbaen; men også at visse dele af ritualerne skabte nogle ideologiske bekymringer for den koraniske menighed (K 2:158; 8:35). Koranen indeholder derfor en forhandling imellem et aksialt ideal om antiprocession, og teksten og den ‘koraniske religions’ overordnet langtidsholdbare mål. En kritik af de rituelle praksisser, hvor man ikke ‘sagde for meget’, kan være en pragmatisk strategi med det formål at tiltrække så mange tilhængere som muligt. Så længe det at forrette bøn var i centrum af ritualerne, kunne circumambulation også accepteres.
Du (non) désir d’enfant
Authors: Hancart Pascale 
Published: February 2018

Cette contribution aborde le concept de « désir d’enfant » en interrogeant la notion d’espace social de la procréation en contexte de violence structurelle et à partir des questions suivantes : qui met un enfant au monde ou n’en met pas ? Qui décide et pourquoi ? Ainsi, la mise au monde des enfants est analysée non pas seulement comme un pur produit du désir individuel mais aussi comme une « production ». Les données sont issues d’une recherche ethnographique menée au Cambodge de 2008 à 2012 au sujet de la construction et de la production sociale des normes, des biotechnologies et de leurs usages en matière de santé de la reproduction. Le propos s’appuie sur deux corpus ethnographiques relevés dans les quartiers pauvres de Phnom Penh et décrit des pratiques de stérilisation masculine, de vente de services sexuels pendant la grossesse, et de marchandisation des nouveau-nés. Après avoir situé historiquement la construction des politiques de régulation des naissances à l’échelle internationale et locale, l’article déploie deux dimensions analytiques. L’une, étique, se rapporte aux rôles des institutions internationales et étatiques dans la gestion des corps des individus. L’autre, émique, renvoie à la perception, au vécu et à l’expérience des individus sur ce qu’ils subissent. Ainsi l’article analyse les logiques qui sous-tendent l’émergence de formes sociales de la reproduction humaine, contrainte et sécurisée, ou soumise à une haute productivité.
Parenté et affects
Authors: Tarnovski Flávio Luiz 
Published: February 2018

Les familles créées par des couples de même sexe sont au centre des débats contemporains sur le mariage et la filiation. Le désir d’enfant exprimé par des gays et des lesbiennes peut être réalisé par l’adoption, la procréation assistée ou la coparentalité. Dans toutes ces configurations se pose la question du lien qui s’établira avec le parent « social », lien socialement valorisé comme preuve de la force de l’amour et de la volonté dans la création d’une famille. Les choix individuels et la proximité affective sont ainsi mis en valeur comme fondements de l’attachement familial. À partir d’une enquête ethnographique réalisée auprès de familles homoparentales françaises, l’auteur propose d’analyser les rapports entre les affects, la parentalité et la filiation dans un contexte marqué par des changements récents dans la législation sur le mariage et l’adoption. Considérant que la fonction centrale de la filiation est d’incorporer un individu à un réseau de parenté, l’analyse tente de montrer que c’est justement l’absence de reconnaissance officielle qui conditionne cette intégration à la démonstration d’un attachement affectif.
Le nouvel agritourisme intégré, une tendance du tourisme durable
Authors: DURRANDE-MOREAU Agnès , H. COURVOISIER François , BOCQUET Anne Marie 
Published: February 2018

Le tourisme lié à l’agriculture, encore appelé agritourisme, constitue actuellement une activité très dynamique mais relativement peu documentée. L’article remet en question l’approche dominante actuelle de l’agritourisme, jugée trop restrictive, en s’appuyant sur les sciences de gestion ainsi que sur des données de terrain. Il propose une nouvelle approche théorique ne se limitant plus au tourisme à la ferme et appelée « agritourisme intégré », en phase avec le développement durable. Il livre des recommandations pratiques à destination des territoires qui souhaiteraient développer cet agritourisme intégré.
Perspectives interculturelles, droits et reconnaissance à Montréal
Authors: Saillant Francine , Lévy Joseph J. , Ramirez-Villagra Alfredo 
Published: February 2018

Dans les débats entourant la gestion de la diversité culturelle, de nouvelles perspectives sont actuellement discutées par les instances politiques et socioculturelles, comme celles de l’interculturalisme, de l’interculturel, de l’interculturalité, de la reconnaissance et de leurs arrimages aux droits humains. Ces thèmes se retrouvent dans la réflexion québécoise sur les plans politique, de la gestion urbaine et de la recherche en sciences sociales. Cet article, après avoir situé les perspectives respectives européenne et québécoise sur ces thèmes, analyse les discours de leaders communautaires montréalais impliqués dans le domaine de l’immigration et interviewés dans le cadre du projet InterReconnaissances. Les données montrent que les perspectives interculturelles ne font pas l’objet d’une formalisation ni d’une validation poussées, mais qu’elles se retrouvent surtout associées à des pratiques diverses et à des formations visant à la sensibilisation des intervenants impliqués dans la rencontre interculturelle. Les notions de droit et de reconnaissance se déclinent sur trois plans : la lutte pour la reconnaissance à la fois des groupes immigrants, de leurs cultures et du travail réalisé par les groupes associatifs dans ce domaine. La reconnaissance de la diversité sociale des groupes fortement stigmatisés suggère aussi l’ouverture à de nouvelles problématiques interculturelles jusque-là négligées, confirmant la place importante de ces notions dans le champ de l’action communautaire montréalaise.
