Emotions have moved center stage in many contemporary debates over religious diversity and multicultural recognition. As in other contested fields, emotions are often one-sidedly discussed as quintessentially subjective and individual phenomena, neglecting their social and cultural constitution. Moreover, emotionality in these debates is frequently attributed to the religious subject alone, disregarding the affective anatomy of the secular. This volume addresses these shortcomings, bringing into conversation a variety of disciplinary perspectives on religious and secular affect and emotion. The volume emphasizes two analytical perspectives: on the one hand, chapters take an immanent perspective, focusing on subjective feelings and emotions in relation to the religious and the secular. On the other hand, chapters take a relational perspective, looking at the role of affect and emotion in how the religious and the secular constitute one another. These perspectives cut across the three main parts of the volume: the first one addressing historical intertwinements of religion and emotion, the second part emphasizing affects, emotions, and religiosity, and the third part looking at specific sensibilities of the secular. The thirteen chapters provide a well-balanced composition of theoretical, methodological, and empirical approaches to these areas of inquiry, discussing both historical and contemporary cases.

Seit dem Weltjugendtag in Köln 2005 ist die Eventisierung von Großveranstaltungen auch im Bereich der Religion zunehmend zu beobachten. Dabei werden aus vornehmlich das Individuum fokussierender Perspektive dessen Erlebnisorientierung sowie ein damit verbundener Spaßbezug herausgestellt. Die ursprünglich den Festen eigene Funktion der in die alltägliche Lebenswelt hineinwirkenden Sinnorientierung und -vergewisserung weiche in den Events einer situativen kurzweiligen Sinndiffusion. Diese Arbeit befasst sich aus explizit religionssoziologischer Sicht mit den Spezifika religiöser Events. Basierend auf videographischen Daten christlicher Großveranstaltungen ist das Kernargument, dass religiöse Events eine affektive Ordnung aufweisen, welche über kommunikative Markierungen von Religion in differenzierter Weise die subjektiven Erfahrungen von Transzendenz und die Erfahrung der Gemeinschaft zu verschmelzen vermag. Es ist die affektive Relation zu etwas Abwesenden, die die Außerordentlichkeit religiöser Events ausmacht und diese von anderen Events unterscheidet.
