Lincoln reveals a pattern whereby texts written in Iceland were more critical and infinitely more subtle than those produced in Norway, reflecting the fact that the former had a dual audience: not just the Norwegian court, but also Icelanders of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, whose ancestors had fled from Harald and founded the only non-monarchic, indeed anti-monarchic, state in medieval Europe.            Between History and Myth will appeal not only to specialists in Scandinavian literature and history but also to anyone interested in memory and narrative.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "September 1, 2014", "publisher": "University Of Chicago Press", "place": "Chicago ; London", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "296", "ISBN": "9780226140926", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Between History and Myth", "language": "English", "libraryCatalog": "Amazon", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Gender" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2015-05-20T15:06:06Z", "dateModified": "2015-05-20T19:03:51Z" } }, { "key": "MDDVBI7T", "version": 47, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 352559, "name": "Relg 299 - Theories and Methods", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/relg_299_-_theories_and_methods", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/352559/items/MDDVBI7T", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/relg_299_-_theories_and_methods/items/MDDVBI7T", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 135266, "username": "kkoltunf", "name": "Ken Koltun-Fromm", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/kkoltunf", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Lincoln", "parsedDate": "2012-04-17", "numChildren": 1 }, "data": { "key": "MDDVBI7T", "version": 47, "itemType": "book", "title": "Gods and Demons, Priests and Scholars: Critical Explorations in the History of Religions", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Bruce", "lastName": "Lincoln" } ], "abstractNote": "Bruce Lincoln is one of the most prominent advocates within religious studies for an uncompromisingly critical approach to the phenomenon of religion—historians of religions, he believes, should resist the preferred narratives and self-understanding of religions themselves, especially when their stories are endowed with sacred origins and authority.

In between, Lincoln presents new examinations of problems in ancient religions and relates these cases to larger comparative themes. While bringing to light important features of the formation of pantheons and the constructions of demons, chaos, and the dead, Lincoln demonstrates that historians of religions should take religious things—inspired scriptures, sacred centers, salvific rites, communities graced by divine favor—as the theories of interested humans that shape perception, community, and experiences.

Orsi infuses his analysis with an autobiographical voice steeped in his own Italian-American Catholic background--from the devotion of his uncle Sal, who had cerebral palsy, to a \"crippled saint,\" Margaret of Castello; to the bond of his Tuscan grandmother with Saint Gemma Galgani. Religion exists not as a medium of making meanings, Orsi maintains, but as a network of relationships between heaven and earth involving people of all ages as well as the many sacred figures they hold dear. Orsi argues that modern academic theorizing about religion has long sanctioned dubious distinctions between \"good\" or \"real\" religious expression on the one hand and \"bad\" or \"bogus\" religion on the other, which marginalize these everyday relationships with sacred figures.

In his analyses, religion emerges as the product of historically and geographically situated human ingenuity, cognition, and curiosity—simply put, as the result of human labor, one of the decisive but wholly ordinary ways human beings create the worlds in which they live and make sense of them.\"These seven essays . . . display the critical intelligence, creativity, and sheer common sense that make Smith one of the most methodologically sophisticated and suggestive historians of religion writing today. . . . Smith scrutinizes the fundamental problems of taxonomy and comparison in religious studies, suggestively redescribes such basic categories as canon and ritual, and shows how frequently studied myths may more likely reflect situational incongruities than vaunted mimetic congruities. His final essay, on Jonestown, demonstrates the interpretive power of the historian of religion to render intelligible that in our own day which seems most bizarre.\"—Richard S.

Smith is best known for his analyses of religious studies as a discipline and for his advocacy and refinement of comparison as the basis for the history of religions.

He then engages several figures and traditions that serve to define his interests within the larger setting of the discipline. The essays that follow consider the role of taxonomy and classification in the study of religion, the construction of difference, and the procedures of generalization and redescription that Smith takes to be key to the comparative enterprise.

At this historical moment, when movement across boundaries is of critical importance for all areas of human life—from media and entertainment to economy and politics—Thomas Tweed offers a powerful vision of religion in motion, dynamic, alive with crossings and flows. A deeply researched, broadly gauged, and vividly written study of religion such as few American scholars have ever attempted, Crossing and Dwelling depicts religion in place and in movement, dwelling and crossing. Tweed considers how religion situates devotees in time and space, positioning them in the body, the home, the homeland, and the cosmos. He explores how the religious employ tropes, artifacts, rituals, and institutions to mark boundaries and to prescribe and proscribe different kinds of movements across those boundaries; and how religions enable and constrain terrestrial, corporeal, and cosmic crossings. Drawing on insights from the natural and social sciences, Tweed's work is grounded in the gritty particulars of distinctive religious practices, even as it moves toward ideas about cross-cultural patterns. At a time when scholars in many fields shy away from generalizations, this book offers a responsible way to think broadly about religion, a topic that is crucial for understanding the contemporary world.

Rather, Jesus-following Jews and Jews who did not follow Jesus lived on a cultural map in which beliefs, such as that in a second divine being, and practices, such as keeping kosher or maintaining the Sabbath, were widely and variably distributed. The ultimate distinctions between Judaism and Christianity were imposed from above by \"border-makers,\" heresiologists anxious to construct a discrete identity for Christianity. By defining some beliefs and practices as Christian and others as Jewish or heretical, they moved ideas, behaviors, and people to one side or another of an artificial border—and, Boyarin significantly contends, invented the very notion of religion.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "October 26, 2006", "publisher": "University of Pennsylvania Press", "place": "Philadelphia, Pa", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "392", "ISBN": "9780812219869", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "Border Lines", "language": "English", "libraryCatalog": "Amazon", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Canonical" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2015-05-20T18:40:50Z", "dateModified": "2015-05-20T18:58:38Z" } }, { "key": "G7MGXUBD", "version": 37, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 352559, "name": "Relg 299 - Theories and Methods", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/relg_299_-_theories_and_methods", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/352559/items/G7MGXUBD", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/relg_299_-_theories_and_methods/items/G7MGXUBD", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 135266, "username": "kkoltunf", "name": "Ken Koltun-Fromm", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/kkoltunf", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Durkheim", "parsedDate": "1995-06-01", "numChildren": 1 }, "data": { "key": "G7MGXUBD", "version": 37, "itemType": "book", "title": "The Elementary Forms of Religious Life", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Emile", "lastName": "Durkheim" }, { "creatorType": "translator", "firstName": "Karen E.", "lastName": "Fields" } ], "abstractNote": "\"Karen Fields has given us a splendid new translation of the greatest work of sociology ever written, one we will not be embarrassed to assign to our students.

He structures his argument around the territories of the Tjilpa aborigines in Australia and two sites in Jerusalem—the temple envisioned by Ezekiel and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The first of these locales—the focus of one of the more important contemporary theories of religious ritual—allows Smith to raise questions concerning the enterprise of comparison. His close examination of Eliade's influential interpretation of the Tjilpa tradition leads to a powerful critique of the approach to religion, myth, and ritual that begins with cosmology and the category of \"The Sacred.\"In substance and in method, To Take Place represents a significant advance toward a theory of ritual. It is of great value not only to historians of religion and students of ritual, but to all, whether social scientists or humanists, who are concerned with the nature of place.\"This book is extraordinarily stimulating in prompting one to think about the ways in which space, or place, is perceived, marked, and utilized religiously. . . .

Described by The New York Times Book Review as \"sermon, ultimatum, confession, deposition, testament, and chronicle...all presented in searing, brilliant prose,\" The Fire Next Time stands as a classic of our literature.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "Reissue edition", "date": "December 1, 1992", "publisher": "Vintage", "place": "New York", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "numPages": "128", "ISBN": "9780679744726", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "English", "libraryCatalog": "Amazon", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [ { "tag": "Individual" } ], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2015-05-20T18:44:46Z", "dateModified": "2015-05-20T18:57:32Z" } }, { "key": "8K97QB3H", "version": 33, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 352559, "name": "Relg 299 - Theories and Methods", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/relg_299_-_theories_and_methods", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/352559/items/8K97QB3H", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/relg_299_-_theories_and_methods/items/8K97QB3H", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 135266, "username": "kkoltunf", "name": "Ken Koltun-Fromm", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/kkoltunf", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "Freud et al.", "parsedDate": "2010-08-09", "numChildren": 1 }, "data": { "key": "8K97QB3H", "version": 33, "itemType": "book", "title": "Civilization and Its Discontents", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Sigmund", "lastName": "Freud" }, { "creatorType": "editor", "firstName": "James", "lastName": "Strachey" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Christopher", "lastName": "Hitchens" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Peter", "lastName": "Gay" } ], "abstractNote": "Freud’s seminal volume of twentieth-century cultural thought grounded in psychoanalytic theory, now with a new introduction by Christopher Hitchens. Written in the decade before Freud’s death, Civilization and Its Discontents may be his most famous and most brilliant work. It has been praised, dissected, lambasted, interpreted, and reinterpreted. Originally published in 1930, it seeks to answer several questions fundamental to human society and its organization: What influences led to the creation of civilization? Why and how did it come to be? What determines civilization’s trajectory? Freud’s theories on the effect of the knowledge of death on human existence and the birth of art are central to his work. Of the various English translations of Freud’s major works to appear in his lifetime, only Norton’s Standard Edition, under the general editorship of James Strachey, was authorized by Freud himself. This new edition includes both an introduction by the renowned cultural critic and writer Christopher Hitchens as well as Peter Gay’s classic biographical note on Freud.", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "Reprint edition", "date": "August 9, 2010", "publisher": "W.
