Paperback. Zustand: New. This book looks at the concept of tradition as used in the discourse of the study of religion. It examines the history of meanings of the concept, the range of uses in the field of religious studies at present, theoretical perspectives, core conceptual implications, and recommendations for clearing the air of a key theoretical tension surrounding the concept of the "invention of tradition."It problematizes the use of 'tradition' as a synonym for 'religion.' It engages critically with important theoretical works, ranging from Robert Redfield's Peasant Society and Culture (1956), Edward Shils' Tradition (1981) and Hobsbawm/Ranger's The Invention of Tradition (1992) to Pascal Boyer's The Naturalness of Religious Ideas (1994) and Harvey Whitehouse's Modes of Religiosity (2004). It reviews the small but growing list of publications reflecting on this category in the study of religions itself. Discussions and arguments are illustrated with examples from a variety of religions, including Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox Christianities, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Candomblé, South Pacific cultures, and different western esoteric streams (not least Traditionalism).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 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.…
