Was ist dieses Projekt, das man Europa nennt? Wie werden Ideen von Europa dargestellt? Woran denkt man, wenn man von Religion in Repräsentation von Europa spricht? Und wie formt Religion diese Imaginationen? Was bewirken sie? Auf diese Fragen gibt es keine einfache Antwort, weil es zu viele unterschiedliche Ideen davon gibt, was Europa und was Religion in Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft sind, sein sollten oder sein müssten. Dieses Buch arbeitet mit Fallstudien, in denen sich Ideen und Konzepte von Europa verdichten: ein Text, ein Kunstwerk, ein Gebäude, eine Ausstellung, eine Karte, ein Filmfestival, ein Lied oder eine Mahlzeit. Mit Beiträgen von Dolores Zoé Bertschinger, Carla Danani, Verena Marie Eberhardt, Natalie Fritz, Anna-Katharina Höpflinger, Ann Jeffers, Stefanie Knauss, Marie-Therese Mäder, Daria Pezzoli-Olgiati, Natasha O'Hear, Alexander Darius Ornella, Sean Michael Ryan, Alberto Saviello, Baldassare Scolari und Paola Wyss-Giacosa.

What is Europe exactly? How are ideas of Europe represented? What do we think of when we speak about religion in representations of Europe? And how does religion shape these conceptions? What are their effects? There is no single answer to these questions because there are too many different ideas of what Europe and religion should have been, are or need to be in the past, present and future respectively. This volume focuses on case studies in which ideas and concepts become crystallised: a text, a work of art, a building, an exhibition, a map, a film festival, a song or a meal. With contributions by Dolores Zoé Bertschinger, Carla Danani, Verena Marie Eberhardt, Natalie Fritz, Anna-Katharina Höpflinger, Ann Jeffers, Stefanie Knauss, Marie-Therese Mäder, Daria Pezzoli-Olgiati, Natasha O'Hear, Alexander Darius Ornella, Sean Michael Ryan, Alberto Saviello, Baldassare Scolari and Paola Wyss-Giacosa.

How do states respond to the new diversity? Providing a striking image of societal accommodation through the prism of cemeteries, this book compares state responses to Muslim and humanist burial needs. Such accommodation is typically understood in terms of national models. French laïcité, Dutch pillarization, or Norwegian establishment, authors argue, explain how these countries react to newcomers. This book shows that, upon closer scrutiny, policy responses follow distinctive logics when compared between levels of governance. Furthermore, it shows that we have to look at material solutions as well. While indeed large legal and discursive national differences between states remain, in praxis they do the same. Synthesizing a religious governance framework from the social sciences with insights from post-olonial and religious studies, the book suggests a methodologically more coherent research agenda for the comparative study of religion, secularism, society and state. "This comparative and multi-level study of state responses is confronted with huge complexity. Its most important 'institutional (material and legal) and discursive policy outcomes' are summarized (277ff): First the legal frameworks, the legal and discursive outcomes reveal strong national differences in line with the respective state-organized religions legacies (laicité, pillarization, establishment); second, the differences between national policies and existing provisions are less clear re. existing material provisions; third, embedded municipal practices show no national differences and no clear relevance of state-church legacies. However, discursively the study finds huge differences in how agents frame and talk about these practices.Almost all existing theoretical and methodological approaches - such as 'secularism' (including 'multiple secularisms', 'post-secularism') - do not take these complexities seriously into account, focusing on one concept only (wrong 'Leitdifferenz'), neglect different meanings of terms for agents in the field and the importance of different levels, times, issues and minorities. This study highlights minimally necessary complexity without drowning in complexity. It draws clear conceptual, theoretical and methodological lessons also in a broader sense for the study of governance of religious and cultural diversity and for the governance of migrations. It is a must read." (Veit Bader Professor Emeritus, University of Amsterdam) "Van den Breemer's fascinating study of the religious governance of cemeteries by secular state institutions proves that cemeteries have become a privileged site to observe empirically the various ways in which the dual accommodation of religious-secular and multi-religious diversity takes place in today's post-secular Western European societies." (José Casanova, Professor Emeritus, Georgetown University and senior fellow at the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace and World Affairs)
