    Growing Apart: Religious Reflection on the Rise of Economic Inequality (2021)
    MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: Many people are increasingly concerned about economic inequality within their own nations, or between wealthy nations and poor ones. But is today's vast economic inequality best addressed by appeals to ethics, by altering social structures such as taxes and laws, or some combination of the two approaches? This volume brings together leading scholars from across the disciplines who believe today's extreme economic inequality threatens human flourishing and who are determined to address it using their own disciplinary tools. The broadly interdisciplinary volume incorporates contributions from fields as varied as theology, philosophy, economics, education, social work, sociology and law. Our work together illustrates how incorporating a variety of perspectives in a conversation enriches religious and ethical reflection on a significant social ill, and how quantitative and secular fields can help offer practical solutions to contemporary ethical problems.

    Violence et sacré (2021)
    Presses Universitaires de Bordeaux
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: Ce volume, Violence et Sacré, correspond au troisième grand volet d’une action que le Laboratoire sur l’imaginaire a développée en partenariat avec des centres français et étranger autour de la double question de la Violence et de l’Identité. La Violence et le Sacré sont les manifestations de deux composantes constitutives de l’Humain. Dans sa conduite, dans ses créations, l’homme, le seul être vivant conscient de sa finitude, témoigne de ces deux présences en lui, qui le confrontent toutes deux à ce que l’on pourrait appeler les frontières de l’humain : le surgissement d’un au-delà envisagé pour ceux qui ne sont plus et les instincts les plus sombres. L’homme est le seul être vivant à se demander ce qui le délimite par rapport à l’animal, à l’univers, à une transcendance. Ces frontières le portent aussi bien du côté du monstrueux que de la sainteté. Cette interaction entre Violence et Sacré a été étudiée par l’anthropologue René Girard : ce livre, qui réunit des contributions de littéraires et d’artistes, veut lui rendre hommage. La recherche du sacré s’exprime aujourd’hui, dans une société en grande partie désacralisée, sous les formes de la création artistique, ce qui révèle toujours son importance tout comme celle de l’imaginaire et des mythes. La fragilité de l’homme le porte à la méditation sur sa condition et à l’inquiétude. C’est pour cela qu’il produit de la culture, de l’art, seules voies capables de comprendre, sans rationalisation, une situation aussi extrême et aussi complexe. Ce volume, qui comporte un magnifique cahier iconographique, explore les rapports intimes entre Violence et Sacré à travers les Mythes, les Arts, la Littérature française, la Littérature étrangère, la Société.

    Perspectives on Reincarnation: Hindu, Christian, and Scientific (2021)
    MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: The articles in this volume, all by leading scholars, examine the topic of rebirth, or reincarnation, from a wide range of perspectives. The main focus of most of the articles is the idea of rebirth as found in Hindu texts and traditions. There are also articles exploring Christian responses to the idea of rebirth as well as expressions of the idea of rebirth in the Western world (such as in the thought of poet William Butler Yeats and in an American context). There are also philosophical and theological articles arguing both for and against the idea of rebirth, as well as articles which take a more historical or literary approach to this topic. The shared thread unifying all of these articles is the idea that rebirth is an important idea that holds great fascination for many. While the primary focus is on Hindu and Christian expressions of or responses to this idea, there are also articles that engage with scientific thinking on this topic, and one which engages with Buddhism as well. In short, this volume is an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural, and cross-traditional exploration of the topic of reincarnation that should appeal to a wide array of readers.

    Glocal Religions (2021)
    MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: ca. 200 words; this text will present the book in all promotional forms (e.g. flyers). Please describe the book in straightforward and consumer-friendly terms. [enter Summary/Description] The globalization of the world’s religions leads to a variety of fusions whereby local elements blend with global religions, leading to hybrid local-global or glocal religious forms. Glocal forms of religion provide a hitherto insufficiently explored research agenda with the potential of further growth in the future. This volume introduces the basic tenets of this research agenda and offers examples from around the globe. In the volume’s individual chapters, authors explore a diverse tapestry of such forms that cover cases from the Caribbean, Japan, Finland, Eastern Europe, US, Korea, Southeast Asia and Central America. Glocal forms of religious expression exist across diverse religious traditions. In this volume, religious traditions specifically explored include Buddhism, Hinduism, folk or traditional religions, Eastern Orthodox Christianity & Protestantism. The study of glocal religions involves a trans-disciplinary group of scholars and researchers. In this volume, contributions come from the fields of sociology, archaeology, anthropology, history and religious studies. This collection is an indispensable reader for scholars and students who wish to explore the dynamics of glocal religion in their part of the world.

    Search for Knowledge and Recognition : Traditional Qur'anic Students in Kano, Nigeria (2021)
    IFRA-Nigeria
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: Hannah Hoechner investigates an educational practice that is widespread in Muslim West Africa. “Traditional” Qur’anic schools, whose students live with their teacher and earn their own livelihood (often through begging), have become the subject of much public concern and anxiety. Hannah Hoechner explores the experience of such Qur’anic students (pl. almajirai; sg. almajiri) in Kano State in northern Nigeria. The almajirai have attracted attention in the context of increased attempts to universalise primary education and of growing concerns about child welfare. They have also been rightly or wrongly associated with Islamic radicalisation, militancy, and the periodic riots that have blighted many northern Nigerian cities. The current spate of Boko Haram violence in northern Nigeria has carried such modes of thinking to the extreme. The Qur’anic schools are described as a “ticking time bomb” and a “threat” to national security. Despite the concern and controversy sparked by the almajirai, there is a dearth of research engaging directly and in depth with the constituencies of the “traditional” Qur’anic schooling system. That the existing literature does not contribute to a better understanding of the system is a particularly severe shortcoming, given the enthusiasm with which speculative narratives are constructed in some sections of the media. Such narratives craft their own realities, as people act upon their stereotypes. Hannah Hoechner’s research aims to fill the gap in knowledge about almajirai. She explores the processes through which children become almajirai and what they learn while they are living as almajirai. She also engages with the (overwhelmingly negative) representations of the system and asks how young people living as almajirai position themselves with respect to such representations.

    Une pirogue pour le Paradis : Le culte de John Frum (2021)
    Éditions de la Maison des sciences de l’homme
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: Ce livre retrace les grandes étapes d'une forte poussée de fièvre millénariste dans l'île de Tanna (République de Vanuatu), lieu de naissance à la fin des années 1930 du culte de John Frum, l'un des plus célèbres cultes du Cargo mélanésiens. À l'occasion d'une catastrophe naturelle en Tan 2000, les craintes eschatologiques liées au passage du troisième millénaire, ont contribué à déclencher une série d'événements dramatiques, survenant au cours même de l'enquête de terrain. Replaçant dans un tableau historique d'ensemble l'héritage culturel que représente ce mouvement politico-religieux pour ses adeptes, l'auteur souligne l'intérêt du culte de John Frum pour notre compréhension des processus culturels d'adaptation aux réalités complexes et changeantes de la modernité. L'analyse de ce revivalisme millénariste l'amène à contester les anciens schémas anthropologiques qui assimilaient les cultes du Cargo à d'éphémères réactions à la domination coloniale. La remarquable persistance et l'incessant renouvellement des croyances en John Frum démontrent au contraire la capacité de leurs inspirateurs à pérenniser culturellement une quête identitaire et spirituelle des plus originales.

    La fragilité du souci des autres : Adorno et le care (2021)
    ENS Éditions
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-05
    Description: Ce livre renouvelle et acère la théorie critique par le féminisme. Il interroge la philosophie sociale de Theodor W. Adorno et propose de penser, au moyen des théories du care, la question de la fragilité sociale du souci des autres. Comment le geste moral émerge-t-il dans notre forme de vie capitaliste sous-tendue par une indifférence généralisée ? Quelles en sont les conditions sociales ? Son hypothèse est que le capitalisme compartimente l’attention à autrui, limite son possible développement en l’assignant aux femmes, dans des domaines et pour des tâches toujours spécifiques. Comment appréhender le contenu moral du care effectivement mis en actes, dès lors qu’il se révèle être le produit d’une distribution genrée des dispositions morales, celle-ci étant une condition de possibilité du marché ?

    Manufacturing, Characterisation and Prop erties of Advanced Nanocomposites (2021)
    MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-05
    Description: ca. 200 words; this text will present the book in all promotional forms (e.g. flyers). Please describe the book in straightforward and consumer-friendly terms. [In recent years, advanced nanocomposites have attracted a great deal of attention from materials engineers and industrialists due to numerous advantages, including the use of a small amount of nanofillers to significantly enhance the material properties of resulting nanocomposites, widespread applications in a range of fields, such as automobiles, aerospace and aerocrafts, building structures, biomedical devices, etc., as well as easy processibility based on current manufacturing technologies, such as melt compounding, solution casting, in situ polymerisation and electrospinning. Advanced nanocomposites reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene oxides (GOs), nanoclays, nanocellulose, and nanofibres demonstrate excellent multifunctional properties, consisting of better mechanical, thermal, electrical, and barrier properties. The key issue is still the encountered challenge of homogeneous filler dispersion in morphological structures for tailored advanced nanocomposites. Hence, processing-structure-property nanocomposite relationship is crucial for their future development as innovative hybrid material systems. This Special Issue will address above-mentioned points in relation to manufacturing, characterisation, and properties of advanced nanocomposites to offer an insight into this new composite family with the incorporation of nanofillers, nanoparticles, and nanomaterials in order to eventually achieve the nanotechnological "bottom-up" scheme.
