| description |
Religion is frequently referenced in relation to its presence or absence
from the public sphere, or its relegation to the private sphere. 1 In part,
the often easy use of the terms “public†and “private†in relation to religion
inspired the creation of this volume. Despite the fact that private
and public are regularly invoked in discussions about religion, there is
little systematic refl ection on the meaning of these terms, specifi cally on
the boundaries between them or what, exactly, we mean when we use
them. For instance, religion is said to be “private,†or “religion in the
public sphere†is identifi ed as requiring discussion. Indeed, one of the
fi nal meetings of the Religion and Society Programme, a large research
initiative based in the United Kingdom, had as its core theme “New
Forms of Public Religion.†2 In 2012, the comparative European project
RELIGARE published a collective book on that topic, entitled Religion
in Public Spaces : A European Perspective (Ferrari and Pastorelli 2012). Yet,
scholarly refl ection on what it means to link or distinguish between
“religion†and “public†and “private†remains relatively rare outside of
specifi c and isolated contexts. Thus, we frequently see reference to the
idea of religion being “privatized†or “pushed to the private sphere,â€
but little refl ection on where the boundaries of the private sphere are.
It seems that the public/private distinction has become essential to any
discussion on religion. The chapters in this volume show how subtle,
complex, and changing the frontier between the two can be.
Religion has become the subject of frequent and lively debate in a
wide range of places: in the media; among academics, policy makers,
and communities; and within social institutions. This increase in attention
has resulted in a reconsideration of religion and its place in society,
raising the question of whether religion is enjoying a resurgence. |
