| Omschrijving |
This course focuses on how religious pluralism features in the ‘super-diverse’ city. After being familiarized with theoretical frames that study pluralism and diversity in the study of religion, as well as with the emergence of new forms of spirituality and religion in Europe and North America, the course focuses on ethnographic research into present-day diverse cities. We will study the interplay of various factors in building a shared, meaningful existence by small and scattered economically differentiated and legally stratified groups of urban residents with different cultural/religious backgrounds and transnational connections. After a series of preparatory class meetings in which these issues will be addressed through lectures and the discussion of mandatory literature, we will spend a week doing ethnographic fieldwork in one of the big cities in the ‘Randstad’ to carry out research in small groups. |
