This book explores the profound transformations that prisons and offender rehabilitation programmes in Eastern Germany have undergone with respect to religion. Drawing on participant observation and interviews of inmates, ex-prisoners, chaplains and prison visitors, this book connects the institutional to individual: focusing on the religious changes individuals experience when they are imprisoned and released. Becci also explores the difficulties faced by released people in keeping their religious life alive under the harsh conditions of social stigma in a highly secular outside society.

Alors que des voix et des actions dénonçant la dégradation environnementale se font entendre à l’échelle globale depuis les années 1960, ce livre considère que c’est autour de 2015 que les mobilisations environnementales en Suisse prennent un tournant socio-culturel particulier. La Conférence des Nations Unies sur le Climat (COP21) se réunit à Paris, le pape François publie l’encyclique "Laudato si" comme un appel à l’humanité à considérer les enjeux écologiques, des initiatives écoféministes ainsi que des thèses collapsologues se diffusent dans les médias. Ce livre présente les enjeux, les analyses et les résultats de six ans de recherche empirique à partir de ce tournant. Il montre la signification du changement culturel qu’il entraîne en Suisse et particulièrement en Romandie. Un processus de « spiritualisation de l’écologie » est identifié et discuté en lien avec une « écologisation du religieux ». L’équipe de recherche, composée de sociologues et d’anthropologues, s’est penchée sur l’observation d’événements publics de l’action écologique ainsi que la rencontre avec nombre d’acteurs et actrices de l’action éco-spirituelle.

This book examines how prisons meet challenges of religious diversity, in an era of increasing multiculturalism and globalization. Social scientists studying corrections have noted the important role that religious or spiritual practice can have on rehabilitation. In the past, the historical figure of the prison chaplain operated primarily in a Christian context, following primarily a Christian model. Increasingly, prison populations (inmates as well as employees) display diversity in their ethnic, cultural, religious and geographic backgrounds. As public institutions, prisons are compelled to uphold the human rights of their inmates, including religious freedom. Prisons face challenges in approaching religious plurality and secularism, and maintaining prisoners' legal rights to religious freedom. The contributions to this work present case studies that examine how prisons throughout Europe have approached challenges of religious diversity. Featuring contributions from the UK, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Belgium and Spain, this interdisciplinary volume includes contributions from social and political scientists, religion scholars and philosophers examining the role of religion and religious diversity in prison rehabilitation. It will be of interest to researchers in Criminology and Criminal Justice, Social and Political Science, Human Rights, Public Policy, and Religious Studies.

Based on ethnographic explorations in cities across the globe, Topographies of Faith offers a unique and compelling analysis of contemporary religious dynamics in metropolitan centers. While most scholarship on religion still sidelines questions of spatiality and scale, this book creatively draws on perspectives from urban studies to study the spatiality of religion in modern cities. It shows how globalization, transnational migration and urban expansion in big cities engender new religious forms and practices and their spatial underpinnings. Space affects urban religious diversity, religious innovations, decline or vitality. But it also shapes the relationships between religion and social equalities. Spanning distances between New York, Delhi and Johannesburg, the book also engages with issues of secularity and religious vitality in genuinely new ways.

La pluralité et la diversité culturelle des sociétés contemporaines sont abordées classiquement à partir de la thématique de la migration et de la régulation étatique. En contrepoids à cette approche, le présent ouvrage décrit les enjeux de reconnaissance autour de la diversité religieuse en termes relationnels, d'espace public urbain, de débat public, de visibilité publique et de reconnaissance sociale et juridique. Après une première partie consacrée à l'éclaircissement de notions telles que pluralisme, reconnaissance, diversité, "superdiversité", sécularisation, "raison sensible", cet ouvrage discute les transformations légales et normatives des sociétés actuelles face à la diversité religieuse. S'ajoutent à cela plusieurs études de cas examinant les aptitudes pratiques de reconnaissance mutuelle et institutionnelle de différents acteurs locaux. Cet ouvrage incite à penser la situation contemporaine des sociétés plurielles à la croisée de l'empirique et du normatif. Il revient aux fondements de l'approche de la régulation, posés par la philosophie de la tolérance, pour investiguer la réflexion en termes de reconnaissance.
