Gen Z, Explained
The Art of Living in a Digital Age
AvRoberta Katz,Sarah Ogilviem. fl.
Häftad, Engelska, 2022
137 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
An optimistic and nuanced portrait of a generation that has much to teach us about how to live and collaborate in our digital world.Born since the mid-1990s, members of Generation Z comprise the first generation never to know the world without the internet, and the most diverse generation yet. As Gen Z starts to emerge into adulthood and enter the workforce, what do we really know about them? And what can we learn from them? Gen Z, Explained is the authoritative portrait of this significant generation. It draws on extensive interviews that display this generation’s candor, surveys that explore their views and attitudes, and a vast database of their astonishingly inventive lexicon to build a comprehensive picture of their values, daily lives, and outlook. Gen Z emerges here as an extraordinarily thoughtful, promising, and perceptive generation that is sounding a warning to their elders about the world around them—a warning of a complexity and depth the “OK Boomer” phenomenon can only suggest.Much of the existing literature about Gen Z has been highly judgmental. In contrast, this book provides a deep and nuanced understanding of a generation facing a future of enormous challenges, from climate change to civil unrest. What’s more, they are facing this future head-on, relying on themselves and their peers to work collaboratively to solve these problems. As Gen Z, Explained shows, this group of young people is as compassionate and imaginative as any that has come before, and understanding the way they tackle problems may enable us to envision new kinds of solutions. This portrait of Gen Z is ultimately an optimistic one, suggesting they have something to teach all of us about how to live and thrive in this digital world.

Like any other subject, the study of religion is a child of its time. Shaped and forged over the course of the twentieth century, it has reflected the interests and political situation of the world at the time. As the twenty-first century unfolds, it is undergoing a major transition along with religion itself. This volume showcases new work and new approaches to religion which work across boundaries of religious tradition, academic discipline and region.The influence of globalizing processes has been evident in social and cultural networking by way of new media like the internet, in the extensive power of global capitalism and in the increasing influence of international bodies and legal instruments. Religion has been changing and adapting too. This handbook offers fresh insights on the dynamic reality of religion in global societies today by underscoring transformations in eight key areas: Market and Branding; Contemporary Ethics and Virtues; Intimate Identities; Transnational Movements; Diasporic Communities; Responses to Diversity; National Tensions; and Reflections on ‘Religion’. These themes demonstrate the handbook’s new topics and approaches that move beyond existing agendas. Bringing together scholars of all ages and stages of career from around the world, the handbook showcases the dynamism of religion in global societies. It is an accessible introduction to new ways of approaching the study of religion practically, theoretically and geographically.

Religion in the contemporary west is undergoing rapid change. In Predicting Religion twenty experts in the study of religion present their predictions about the future of religion in the 21st century - predictions based on careful analysis of the contemporary religious scene from traditional forms of Christianity to new spiritualities. The range of predictions is broad. A number predict further secularization - with religion in the west seen as being in a state of terminal decline. Others question this approach and suggest that we are witnessing not decline but transformation understood in different ways: a shift from theism to pantheism, from outer to inner authority, from God to self-as-god, and above all from religion to spirituality. This accessible book on the contemporary religious scene offers students and scholars of the sociology of religion and theology, as well as interested general readers, fresh insights into the future of religion and spirituality in the west. Published in association with the British Sociological Association Study of Religion group, in the Ashgate Religion and Theology in Interdisciplinary Perspective series.

Everyday Lived Islam in Europe

This book offers a new direction for the study of contemporary Islam by focusing on what being Muslim means in people’s everyday lives. It complements existing studies by focusing not on mosque-going, activist Muslims, but on how people live out their faith in schools, workplaces and homes, and in dealing with problems of health, wellbeing and relationships. As well as offering fresh empirical studies of everyday lived Islam, the book offers a new approach which calls for the study of ’official’ religion and everyday ’tactical’ religion in relation to one another. It discusses what this involves, the methods it requires, and how it relates to existing work in Islamic Studies.

This title was first published in 2001. 'An age of faith or an age of doubt?'- the question has dominated study of Christianity in the Victorian era. Reinventing Christianity offers a fresh analysis of the vitality and variety of Christianity in Britain and America in the Victorian era. Part One presents an overview of some of the main varieties of Christianity in the west ranging from the conservative - Protestant evangelicalism and 'fortress' Catholicism - to the radical - Theosophy, Swedenborgianism and Transcendentalism; Part Two reviews negotiations between Christianity and the wider culture. The conclusion reflects on general trends in the period, showing how many of these prefigured later developments in religion. This book highlights the creativity and diversity of 19th century Christianity, showing how developments normally associated with the late 20th century - such as the reassertion of tradition and the rise of feminist theology and alternative spirituality - were already in train a century before.

Sociology of Prayer

Prayer is a central aspect of religion. Even amongst those who have abandoned organized religion levels of prayer remain high. Yet the most basic questions remain unaddressed: What exactly is prayer? How does it vary? Why do people pray and in what situations and settings? Does prayer imply a god, and if so, what sort? A Sociology of Prayer addresses these fundamental questions and opens up important new debates. Drawing from religion, sociology of religion, anthropology, and historical perspectives, the contributors focus on prayer as a social as well as a personal matter and situate prayer in the conditions of complex late modern societies worldwide. Presenting fresh empirical data in relation to original theorising, the volume also examines the material aspects of prayer, including the objects, bodies, symbols, and spaces with which it may be integrally connected.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Is the Church of England in terminal decline, as some have forecast, or does it have a vigorous future? Reports of dwindling congregations, and waning influence, contrast with stories of motivated leadership, and solid growth. The Church Times decided it was time to give the C of E a thorough medical. Thirty-five specialists, including academics, researchers, parish priests, missioners and commentators, were asked to take the Church’s temperature. They looked at its congregations, leadership, governance and social influence. And then they were invited to prescribe some remedies. Not everyone agreed, either about what is wrong or what needs to be done, but a serious, and alarming consensus has emerged – the patient does needs treatment, and it needs it urgently.

Über die Herausforderung der Verschiedenheit und die neue Wertereligion
AvAdam B. Seligman,Linda Woodhead MBEm. fl.
Inbunden, Tyska, 2024

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
In ihren Festreden anlässlich der Verleihung des Dr. Leopold Lucas-Preises des Jahres 2020 stellen Adam B. Seligman und Linda Woodhead ihre unterschiedlichen Ansätze zum Zusammenhang von Religion und Gesellschaft prägnant und anschaulich dar. Seligman zeichnet aus sozialpsychologischer Perspektive nach, wie das Zugehörigkeitsgefühl zu einer Gruppe konstruiert und erlernt wird. Da gesellschaftlich geformte Kategorien die Selbst- und Weltwahrnehmung prägen, fordert die Begegnung mit Angehörigen anderer Gruppen immer auch die eigene Selbstwahrnehmung heraus und kann Unbehagen auslösen. Er problematisiert verschiedene gängige Strategien, dieses durch Differenzerfahrung ausgelöste Unbehagen aufzulösen und plädiert schließlich dafür, dass Angehörige verschiedener Religionsgemeinschaften in einer religiös pluralistischen Gesellschaft dazu bereit sein müssen, dieses Unbehagen auszuhalten und sich eines Urteils über die Weltsicht der anderen zu enthalten.Linda Woodhead befasst sich in ihrer Rede mit dem Bedeutungsverlust christlicher Religion in den liberalen Demokratien des Westens. Dieser Bedeutungsverlust ist nach ihren soziologischen Forschungen nicht gleichzusetzen mit einem Ende der Religion, vielmehr übernehmen moralische Werte Funktionen der Religion. Diese Religion der Werte zeichnet sich durch einen Fokus auf Selbstverwirklichung aus, während altruistische Wertvorstellungen parallel zum Christentum an Bedeutung verlieren. Die historischen Wurzeln für diese Entwicklung sieht Woodhead in einer zunehmenden Moralisierung des Christentums, die Religion stark oder ausschließlich über Werte definiert. In der Folge absorbieren Wertüberzeugungen Funktionen der Religion, prägen das Identitätsgefühl und Wahrnehmungen der Zusammengehörigkeit und Differenz. Dagegen können viele spirituelle Bedürfnisse weder von den moralisierten Religionen noch von der neuen Wertereligion erfüllt werden. Dadurch lässt sich das (Wieder-)Auftauchen vieler spiritueller und magischer Praktiken erklären.
