Abstract

How Catholic was Thomas Merton? Since his death in 1968, Merton’s Catholic identity has been regularly questioned, both by those who doubt the authenticity of his Catholicism given his commitment to ecumenical and interreligious dialogue and by those who admire Merton as a thinker but see him as an aberration who rebelled against his Catholicism to articulate ideas that went against the church. In this book, Gregory K. Hillis illustrates that Merton’s thought was intertwined with his identity as a Catholic priest and emerged out of a thorough immersion in the church’s liturgical, theological, and spiritual tradition. In addition to providing a substantive introduction to Merton’s life and thought, this book illustrates that Merton was fundamentally shaped by his identity as a Roman Catholic.

Abstract

Approaching religious identity with an emphasis on agency and contestation, this book offers a historical perspective on the development of Muslim identities in Asia. It examines the contingent politics that influence how Muslims constitute themselves as modern subjects. Through 9 country-based case studies, the book analyses how Muslims articulate their religious identity vis-à-vis the state and society in which they live, and how their position relates to specific social and political contexts. The contributors survey how religious affiliation sparks a politics of difference in contexts where Islamic practices, beliefs and aspirations are contested, as well as where Muslims are framed as the 'Other'.

Abstract

Das Buch befasst sich mit der jüdischen Geschichte und Gegenwart in Deutschland seit 1989. Im Mittelpunkt steht eine quantitativ und qualitativ geführte Studie, in der junge russischsprachige Jüdinnen und Juden sich über ihr Verhältnis zu Deutschland und Israel, sowie über familiär geprägte Erinnerungskulturen äußern und über ihre Erfahrungen als »Russen« und Juden in der deutschen Einwanderungsgesellschaft sprechen, über soziale Aufstiege und Diskriminierungen. Zur Sprache kommt ihr Verständnis vom Judentum, von mehrheitlich säkular geprägten Lebensentwürfen, aber auch von religiöser Suche, sowie alte und neue Formen jüdischer Vergemeinschaftung. Zeugen diese Schilderungen von einem Wandel jüdischen Lebens in Deutschland, so zeigt ein historisch vergleichender Blick in die besonderen Bedingtheiten der jüdischen Nachkriegsgemeinschaft in Deutschland, dass alteingesessene und neu zugewanderte Juden möglicherweise mehr miteinander teilen, als sie bislang angenommen haben.

Abstract

This book is about the legendary Rajput chieftain Hammira Chauhan, the king of the impregnable fortress of Ranthambore in southern Rajasthan who died in 1301 CE after a monumental battle against Alauddin Khalji, the sultan of Delhi. This singular event reverberates through time to the point of creating a historical and cultural region that crystallizes through copious texts composed in different genres and languages (Persian, Sanskrit, Hindi, Rajasthani, English) in shifting religious and political contexts, medieval as well as modern. The main poetical-historical work composed in Sanskrit, the Hammira-Mahakavya (‘great poem’) by the Jaina poet Nayachandra Suri (15th century), is propelled by a dream in which the dead king urges the poet to write about his deeds. Can history with its preoccupation for the factual, begin in a dream? What does it mean to think about history and time via the imagination? Is time, whether past, present or future linked to imagination? Do imagination, time, and history arise together? What are the implications of thinking of history as something that appears in our experience? What does it mean to write a history as a historical being in whom diverse temporalities intertwine in the here and now?
