Emotion and Religion in Times of Crisis (Religion und Politik) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This volume deals with the relationship between religion and emotion. Against the backdrop of the so-called 'emotional turn', which combines very different approaches with the terms 'feeling', 'emotion' and 'affect', the contributions examine the manifold connections between religion and emotion, which become particularly visible in times of crisis and develop dynamising effects. Religion itself is often perceived as an 'emotion'. But it becomes clear that religion triggers very different, even contradictory emotions. Moments of crisis in religion are examined from the Old Testament to the present. The contributions come from literary studies, history, theology, religious studies, sociology, political science and art studies. With contributions by Martha Bösch | Stijn Bussels | John Corrigan | Pia Doering | Doris Fuchs | Bettina Full | Andrea Ghidoni | Felicity Jensz | Hannah Klinkenborg | Eva Krems | Bram Van Oostveldt | Henning Podulski | Hanna Pulpanek | Bruno Quast | Romany Schmidt | Johannes Schnocks | Martina Wagner-Egelhaaf | Karin Westerwelle
