In den vergangenen drei Jahren führte das Kompetenznetzwerk "Dynamics of Religion in Southeast Asia" empirische, historische und komparative Forschung zu unterschiedlichen Manifestationen von "Religion" und diversen "Anderen" - "Sekularismus", "Animismus" und "Tradition" - durch. Soziologen, Athropologen, Linguisten und Historiker erforschten, wie "Religion" materiell und diskursiv in verschiedenen Südostasiatischen Kontexten konstruiert wird. Den Fokus bildeten dabei die Gesellschaften Vietnams, Indonesiens, Laos', der Philippinen, Malaysias und Thailands.

Mit der Konferenz "Kaleidoscopes of Religion: Southeast Asia and Beyond" tritt das Netzwerk in einen Dialog mit Wissenschaftler_Innen, deren Arbeiten zu "Religion" über Südostasien hinaus gehen. Daher werden drei thematische Felder abgedeckt: Religion und Politik, Religion und Medien sowie Religion und Raum. Schließlich ist das Ziel, zu diskutieren, ob es für die Region eine spezielle Qualität des "Religiösen" und - vielleicht gar wichtiger - der Erforschung des "Religiösen" gibt, und wenn ja, worin diese bestehen könnte und wie Erkenntnisse aus Südostasien zur Anregung einer breiteren theoretischen Debatte über Religion beitragen können.

Filipino Catholicism: Philippine Studies Special Double Issue launch

Julius Bautista presents the fruits of his collaboative fieldwork with Dorisea's Peter Bräunlein published in the article Ethnography as an Act of Witnessing: Doing Fieldwork on Passion Rituals in the Philippines in Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints / Special Double Issue on Catholicism: Vol 62, No 3–4 (2014), 501-528.

Article abstract This article juxtaposes two narrative accounts of ethnographic fieldwork on the Passion rituals of Central Luzon in the Philippines. Framed from two distinct cultural and temporal contexts, these narratives highlight the limits and the possibilities of reflexive participant observation in understanding and depicting Filipino religious culture. The authors problematize the assumption that the researcher is the sovereign determinant of fieldwork parameters and local “informants” are merely complicit with the former’s empirical strategies. The act of witnessing, they argue, is a fluid process of exchange conditioned by the expectations and desires of the researcher’s interlocutors and the researcher’s own anxieties over the academic and personal prospects of his or her work.

DORISEA Conference: "Dynamics of Religion in Southeast Asia"

June 26 to 29, 2013. University of Goettingen, Germany

In global comparison, Southeast Asia stands out as a region marked by a particularly diverse religious landscape. Various “ethnic religions” interact with so-called “world religions”, all of the latter – with the exception of Judaism – being represented in the region. While religion has oftentimes been viewed as an antithesis to modernity, scholarship has shown that religion shapes and is intertwined with modernization processes in crucial ways and that its role in contemporary Southeast Asian societies is intensifying. The mid-term conference “Dynamics of Religion in Southeast Asia” will explore this link between "religion" and "modernity" by focusing on three dimensions of religious dynamics, namely mediality, politics and mobility. In the spirit of Southeast Asian studies as a holistic, i.e. trans-disciplinary approach, the conference brings together scholars from diverse disciplinary fields who investigate the peculiar dynamics of religion in times of globalization, and the ways in which these dynamics mediate change and continuity in Southeast Asia.Hosted by: BMBF competence network "Dynamics of Religion in Southeast Asia" (DORISEA)
