Martin Riesebrodt on the Concept of Religion

Описание к видео Martin Riesebrodt on the Concept of Religion

Lecture: Contested Religion: Concepts of Religion and the Implications for Empirical Research

Abstract: The concept of religion is a contested one. Postmodern critics reject it as a modern Western invention; functionalist sociologists have diluted it until it became empty. This talk will introduce an alternative concept and theory of religion. By taking the self-expression of religious traditions and actors seriously, it is generally applicable and offers unique insights into the existential conditions of various groups and categories of people.

Speaker: Martin Riesebrodt, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva
