Book Synopsis Globalisation – Cultures – Religions / Globalisierung – Kulturen – Religionen by :
Download or read book Globalisation – Cultures – Religions / Globalisierung – Kulturen – Religionen written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of Globalisation has subjected cultures, religions and societies or communities of the world to fundamental changes, which are primarily characterised and conditioned by new communication technologies, migration, worldwide exchange of goods and capital. This development has led to the rise of plural societies, which not only mean chances and opportunities but also a potential of threat for the future of humanity. Subsequent to this development this international conference addresses the question of how living together in a global age could succeed and be fruitful. Im Zuge des Globalisierungsprozesses befinden sich alle Kulturen, Religionen und damit alle Gesellschaften der Welt in einem grundlegenden Wandel, der vor allem durch neue Kommunikationstechnologien, Migration, weltweiten Austausch von Kapital und Gütern bedingt ist. Diese Entwicklung hat zur Entstehung pluraler Gesellschaften geführt, die nicht nur eine Chance, sondern auch ein Bedrohungspotenzial für die Zukunft der Menschheit bedeutet. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt sich für die Tagung die Frage, wie ein Zusammenleben der Menschen in einer zunehmend multireligiösen und multikulturellen Welt gelingen kann
Book Synopsis Intercultural Hermeneutics - Understanding Culture and Religion by : Chibueze Udeani
Download or read book Intercultural Hermeneutics - Understanding Culture and Religion written by Chibueze Udeani and published by LIT Verlag. This book was released on 2021-01-10 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New hermeneutical challenges abound within the process of globalisation especially as they pertain to culture and religion. Consequently, a new form of hermeneutics approached from an intercultural perspective is needed. This requires, if not a new set of hermeneutical tools then, at least, a serious, profound and critical analysis and constructive adaptation of the already available set of hermeneutical tools. Intercultural hermeneutics in the understanding of religion and culture and among cultures and religions is being proposed here as this new form of art or science of understanding. Chibueze C. Udeani is of Igbo origin and currently professor of missiology and dialogue of religions at Julius Maximilian's university Würzburg, Germany.
Book Synopsis Theology in Intercultural Design / Theologie im Zeichen der Interkulturalität by :
Download or read book Theology in Intercultural Design / Theologie im Zeichen der Interkulturalität written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the consequences of the all engulfing process of globalisation is the experience that not only it promotes interdependence among peoples, folks, cultures and religions, but it also creates problems and tensions. The assignment of a thoughtful and practice-oriented accompanying of this development poses itself subsequently. From this background different lectures are being conducted in different places; research initiatives as well as projects are started and executed while several publications are featuring. Visible here is the fact that although there abound rich reservoirs of knowledge, there is still no clarity as to the contents and the theoretical and methodical contrasts that are yet to be examined. Zu den Folgen des um sich greifenden Globalisierungsprozesses, zählt die Erfahrung, dass er nicht nur die Interpendenz unter Menschen, Völkern, Kulturen und Religionen vorantreibt, sondern auch Probleme und Spannungen auslöst. Diese Situation ist denkerisch und praxisorientiert aufzuschließen. Es wurden an verschiedenen Standorten Lehrveranstaltungen durchgeführt, Forschungsprojekte in Angriff genommen und Publikationen vorgelegt. Auffällig hierbei ist: Obwohl der erreichte Wissensstand bereits reichhaltig ist, besteht keine Klarheit hinsichtlich der zu untersuchenden Inhalte und der theoretischen und methodischen Gegensätze.

Book Synopsis Global Pentecostalism: An Inquiry into the Cultural Dimensions of Globalization by : Matthias Deininger
Download or read book Global Pentecostalism: An Inquiry into the Cultural Dimensions of Globalization written by Matthias Deininger and published by Anchor Academic Publishing (aap_verlag). This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid global expansion of Pentecostal Christianity is one of the most striking religious phenomena in our contemporary world. Today, Pentecostalism is by no means some marginal or peculiar denomination within world Christianity. It is not simply a niche product in the global religious market, but the most dynamic and fastest growing religious movement within the contemporary Christian world. From Singapore over Brazil to Ghana, Pentecostal Christians are historically and presently rooted in many cultural contexts throughout the world. As such, Pentecostalism is a religious movement that is both shaped by globalization processes, but also a major contributor to the globalization of religion. Until recently, social-scientific approaches to Christianity have often been informed by a rather selective understanding of Christianity, stressing its ascetic components premised on a body-spirit dualism and seeing its importance mainly as a harbinger of secular modernity. Hence, where Christianity was studied outside the ‘West’ it has usually been peripheral and viewed as an alien intrusion, undermining local cosmologies. However, rather than a religious rejection of the world, Pentecostalism accommodates to the world and modernity. It transcends locality by promulgating a universal ‘imaginary of the world’, while at the same time incorporating itself successfully into the socio-cultural contexts of any new cultures it encounters. The fundamental ‘fluidity’ of the transnational Pentecostal network is conducive for its flexibility to react on the enormous upheavals and changes in a globalized world and to accommodate to them in constructive ways. Thus, Pentecostalism can be regarded as a paradigmatic case of a ‘glocalized’ religion: it has the ability to adapt itself to local conditions while maintaining and preserving its distinct religious features at the same time. This study focuses on the different theoretical attempts made to explain the massive global expansion of Pentecostalism, and its relation to broader processes of globalization. It discusses to what extent and in what complex ways the Pentecostal movement is interrelated to processes of cultural globalization. By looking at the internal religious characteristics of Pentecostal discourse and discursive practices, and their articulations within the external circumstances of globalization, it tries to untangle some of the complexities that emerge when theorizing the globalization of Pentecostalism.
Book Synopsis Funktionen des Rechts in der pluralistischen Wissensgesellschaft by : Christian Brünner
Download or read book Funktionen des Rechts in der pluralistischen Wissensgesellschaft written by Christian Brünner and published by Böhlau Verlag Wien. This book was released on 2007 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Publikation beschaftigt sich mit den Funktionen des Rechts in einer zunehmend wissensbasierten Gesellschaft. Recht ist zugleich Motor und Regulator in den derzeitigen Transformationsprozessen sowohl in der Wissensproduktion als auch in der Rezeption dieses Wissens auf okonomischer und gesamtgesellschaftlicher Ebene.Eines der umfangreichsten Kapitel ist dem Themenbereich Bildungsrecht und Bildungspolitik in der Wissensgesellschaft gewidmet. Im Bereich des Bildungsrechtes spannt sich der analytische Bogen vom Schulrecht uber das Fachhochschul- bis hin zum Universitatsrecht. Von besonderem Interesse sind dabei u. a. Fragen betreffend Staatsverantwortung und Hochschulsystem und die Umbauprozesse im Hochschulzugang bzw. in der Hochschulzulassung.Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt ist die Frage nach den Funktionen des Rechts in Staat und Wirtschaft. Auch in diesen Bereichen mussen wissensbasierte Veranderungen in ihren rechtlichen und okonomischen Implikationen wissenschaftlich durchdrungen werden. Einerseits hat die Wirtschaft schnelllebige und veranderte Anspruche an die Wissensproduktion (Umweltrecht, Energierecht, Weltraumrecht etc.). Andererseits gerat auch die staatliche Aufgabenbesorgung hinsichtlich der Anwendung wissensbasierter Technologien zunehmend unter Dynamisierungsdruck. Dies bezieht sich nicht nur auf klassische Bereiche des E-Government, sondern auch auf die Bereiche der finanziellen Kontrolle und der politischen Willensbildung. Auf der Ebene der politischen Willensbildung ist daruber hinaus noch ein weiterer signifikanter Veranderungsdruck gegeben, namlich die Verwirklichung geschlechterdemokratischer Strukturen.Minderheiten in einem veranderten gesellschaftlichen Umfeld sind Inhalt eines dritten Themenschwerpunktes. Analysiert werden einerseits die Vorteile fur eine Gesellschaft, die sich dem "diversity"-Gedanken verpflichtet fuhlt, andererseits aber auch die Herausforderungen, die mit der Umsetzung dieses gesellschaftspolitischen Ansatzes verbunden sind. Im Zentrum dieser Uberlegungen stehen insbesondere Religionsvielfalt und Multikulturalitat.
Book Synopsis World Culture Re-Contextualised by : Jürgen Schriewer
Download or read book World Culture Re-Contextualised written by Jürgen Schriewer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Impressive strands of research have shown the emergent reality of increasing world-level interconnection in almost every field of social action. As a consequence, theories and models have been developed which are aimed at conceptualising this new reality along the lines of an ‘institutionalised’ World Culture. This offers a new understanding of the worldwide diffusion of specifically modern – i.e. mainly Western – rules, ideologies and organisational patterns, and of attendant harmonisation and standardisation of fields of social action. World Culture theories have not gone unchallenged. Rather, cross-cultural studies have revealed much more complex processes of regional fragmentation and (re-)diversification; of the refraction, appropriation, and hybridisation, through distinct socio-cultural conditioning, of world-level models and ideas; and of the ongoing effectiveness both of structural path-dependencies and of specifically cultural aspects such as collective memories, social meanings, and religious (or ideological) belief systems. Comparative research has thus highlighted an intricate simultaneity of contrary currents: of the increasing world-level interconnection of communication and exchange relations on the one hand, and, on the other, the persistence of context-specific interpretations, translations, and deviation-generating re-contextualisations of world-level forces and challenges. This research provides the theoretical problematique that animates this volume. The chapters explore the conceptual tools and explanatory power of theories and models which do not just oppose or reject World Culture theory, but are instead suited to complementing and differentiating it. The volume offers an enlightening conceptualisation of the intricate interaction of global processes with local agency, and of world-level forces with the self-evolutionary potentials inherent in specific contexts, socio-cultural structures, and distinctive meanings constellations. This book was originally published as a special issue of Comparative Education.
Book Synopsis Religion and Globalization by : Peter Beyer
Download or read book Religion and Globalization written by Peter Beyer and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1994-03-31 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his exploration of the interaction between religion and worldwide social and cultural change, the author examines the major theories of global change and discusses the ways in which such change impinges on contemporary religious practice, meaning and influence. Beyer explores some of the key issues in understanding the shape of religion today, including religion as culture and as social system, pure and applied religion, privatized and publicly influential religion, and liberal versus conservative religions. He goes on to apply these issues to five contemporary illustrative cases: the American Christian Right; Liberation Theology movements in Latin America; the Islamic Revolution in Iran; Zionists in Israel; and religiou

Book Synopsis The Clash Within Civilisations by : Dieter Senghaas
Download or read book The Clash Within Civilisations written by Dieter Senghaas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-07-08 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expanding upon, and engaging with, the influential theories of Francis Fukuyama in The End of History and Samuel Huntington in The Clash of Civilisations, this book is a major, and controversial, contribution to these key contemporary debates. Dieter Senghaas examines some of the most significant political issues we face today: * How do societies cope with pluralization? * Can tolerance be a successful solution? * What is the role of 'culture' in recent conflicts which have been described as culturally induced? * And will twenty-first-century world politics sink into cultural conflicts on a biblical scale? Dieter Senghaas explores these questions within the context of the main non-Western cultural areas Chinese political philosophy, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism and goes on to reflect on the possibility of a constructive form of intercultural dialogue. Senghaas's distinctive and radical approach will be of great interest and topicality to all those working in politics, international relations, sociology, cultural studies, development studies, religion and international political economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language as a complex and dynamic phenomenon is an important instrument for reflecting individual and social identity. The formation of languages under the influence of specific norms and rules, which depend on historical and cultural developments, goes beyond their mere use as a means of communication. Languages are used to formulate thoughts, express emotions, demonstrate behaviour and produce artistic texts as skills and actions. Languages are also used to exert pressure, direct thoughts and influence people. Especially since the 1970s, under the influence of women's rights and feminist approaches in the West, language has played a prominent role in the reflection on gender and identity in cultural, linguistic and literary studies. This influence has led to an increased awareness of how language shapes and perpetuates concepts of gender and identity. Against this backdrop, this thesis will analyse various dimensions of the linguistic construction of gender and identity and examine their impact on socio-cultural structures. Translation and Gender: Beyond Power and Boundaries is an anthology of studies that analyse in depth the connections between translation and gender, translation and women, and translation and feminist understanding. The publication offers the opportunity to discuss various topics and answer questions related to different approaches.
