Inhaltsangabe
Tradition: A Critical Primer offers a fresh exploration of the concept of tradition, moving beyond conventional definitions to uncover its deeper intersections with ideology, memory and social power. Rather than merely asking what tradition refers to, this book investigates how tradition functions as a dynamic force, linking and reflecting concepts such as authority, modernity, religion, ritual and identity. Grounded in the study of religions, it draws from diverse theoretical perspectives-including decolonial, cognitive and hermeneutical approaches-and critically examines thinkers such as Halbwachs, Gadamer and Morin.
With discussions spanning religious and cultural practices across the globe, and four case studies on topics such as Brazilian Candomblé and Indigenous traditions in Canadian law, the book highlights how tradition operates in a world marked by multiple modernities, post-colonial cultural identities and ideological conflicts. Offering students and scholars alike a toolkit for understanding tradition as a living, contested and ideologically charged concept, this work reframes tradition as a space where identity, power and social transformation intersect.

Paperback. Zustand: New. This book looks at the concept of tradition in the study of religion. It examines the history of the concept, uses in the discipline, theoretical perspectives (including Indigenous and post/decolonial studies, cognitive science and hermeneutics), and critical perspectives on key thinkers (Halbwachs, Gadamer, Ricoeur, J and A Assmann, Boyer, Morin) and recommendations for clearing the air of a key theoretical tension surrounding the concept of the invention of tradition.Questioning the use of 'tradition' as a synonym for 'religion,' the book models a relational and ideology-critical approach to complex concepts. It engages with important theoretical issues, including opposition to 'modernity,' Indigenous 'self-conscious traditionalism.' colonial discourses, intersections with ritual, agency and reason and 'the invention of tradition.' Discussions - with examples from a variety of religions and cultures - including African, Indigenous North American, south Pacific, Afro-Brazilian, Japanese, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu and esoteric. Four case studies - on esoteric Traditionalism, Candomblé, great/little traditions and Indigenous traditions in Canadian law - engage central ideas in greater detail.
