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)

Religion und Geschlecht sind eng miteinander verflochten: Religiöse Traditionen, Anschauungen, Symbole und Praktiken sind geschlechtsspezifisch geprägt; Geschlechterrollen, Stereotype und Ideale werden religiös untermauert und sanktioniert. Nicht nur religiöse Traditionen selbst, sondern auch die Erforschung und Darstellung von Religionen sind überwiegend durch androzentrische Perspektiven gekennzeichnet. Gegenstand dieser Einführung sind ein Überblick zu den methodologischen und theoretischen Grundlagen der religionswissenschaftlichen Geschlechterforschung sowie eine Revision religionsgeschichtlicher Daten und Perspektiven auf der Basis umfangreicher Forschungsergebnisse. Darüber hinaus machen ausgewählte systematische Analysen Zusammenhänge und Unterschiede zwischen verschiedenen religiösen Traditionen hinsichtlich der Konstruktion, Idealisierung, Normierung und der symbolischen Verwendung von Geschlecht sichtbar. Anhand von exemplarischen Feldern sozialer Interaktion werden zudem die vielfältigen Wechselwirkungen und die Intersektionalität von Religion, Geschlecht und Gesellschaft verdeutlicht. Der Band zeigt Ziele und Vorgehensweise einer geschlechtersensiblen Religionswissenschaft auf und bietet entsprechend revidierte Einblicke in die Religionsgeschichte. Religious traditions, symbols, and practices are shaped by gender; gender roles, stereotypes, and ideals have religious underpinnings. Studying gender in religious studies means taking the category of gender into account when collecting, describing, and analyzing data pertaining to religion. It also means uncovering the normativity of entanglements between religion and gender as well as making opposing trends visible.
