Families and Religion
This comparative study examines the transmission of religion in families in Germany, Italy, Hungary, Finland and Canada. The authors rely on the widely shared argument that religious change can primarily be understood as an intergenerational process. Based on a mixed-methods design, the book investigates the question of how, when exactly and under what conditions the following generations become less religious than the previous ones. From the perspective of familial and historical generations, the authors examine the significance of (religious) socialization for the transmission of (non-)religious worldviews, affiliation, practice, and identity. According to a central finding, religious change takes place primarily in the phase of adolescence against the background of the respective social context.
Event Religion and European Festival Experience
This book contributes to empirical research on festivals and presents a model of "event religion" for interpreting festival experiences from a religious studies perspective. It features a comparison of three Hungarian case studies with different backgrounds - a mindfulness festival, a Catholic event, and a rock-metal music festival. The author suggests that examining event experiences along the four dimensions of spatiotemporality, symbols, community, and inward experience provides a conceptual framework for understanding contemporary alternative religious beliefs, behaviours, and experiences. She also utilises "religionesque" as an umbrella term for the various concepts that describe religion-related experiences and approaches. The book will be of interest to scholars of religion, sociology, anthropology, and others with a focus on events and festivals.
The Social Significance of Religion in the Enlarged Europe
Engaging with some of the central issues in the sociology of religion, this volume investigates the role and significance of churches and religion in contemporary Western and Eastern Europe. Based on an extensive international research project, it offers case studies of various countries (including Finland, Ireland, Portugal, Germany, Poland, Russia, Estonia, Hungary and Croatia), as well as cross-country comparisons. Researching more precisely the present social relevance of church and religion at different levels, The Social Significance of Religion in the Enlarged Europe raises and responds to both descriptive and explanatory questions: Can we observe tendencies of religious decline in th...
Spiritual Moderns
Examines how and why religion matters in the history of modern American art. Andy Warhol is one of the best-known American artists of the twentieth century. He was also an observant Catholic who carried a rosary, went to mass regularly, kept a Bible by his bedside, and depicted religious subjects throughout his career. Warhol was a spiritual modern: a modern artist who appropriated religious images, beliefs, and practices to create a distinctive style of American art. Spiritual Moderns centers on four American artists who were both modern and religious. Joseph Cornell, who showed with the Surrealists, was a member of the Church of Christ, Scientist. Mark Tobey created pioneering works of Abstract Expressionism and was a follower of the Bahá’í Faith. Agnes Pelton was a Symbolist painter who embraced metaphysical movements including New Thought, Theosophy, and Agni Yoga. And Warhol, a leading figure in Pop art, was a lifelong Catholic. Working with biographical materials, social history, affect theory, and the tools of art history, Doss traces the linked subjects of art and religion and proposes a revised interpretation of American modernism.

Was macht Europa zukunftsfähig?
Sich "für Europa engagieren"? Das ist für viele zu fern und zu abstrakt. Aber für die überschaubare eigene Heimat ist man bereit, mitzuüberlegen und mitzugestalten. Wie soll in 10 Jahren ein lebenswerter Kulturraum "Südböhmen - Ober- und Niederösterreich - Niederbayern" ausschauen? Was ist jetzt zu tun, zu beachten, damit das gelingt? Gewiss dringend sind wirtschaftliche Sanierung und Modernisierung, aber erst die gleichzeitige Beachtung der kulturellen, sozialen und religiös-ethischen Dimension macht die Region zur Heimat, in der das Leben lebenswert ist. Die Beiträge erstrangiger tschechischer, österreichischer und deutscher Experten, Führungskräfte und Praktiker aus Wirtschaft, Sozialbereich und Politik, aus Wissenschaft, Kultur und Religion, ergeben ein informatives und attraktives Mosaik für ein jetzt wieder mögliches lebendiges Stück Mitteleuropa. Das ist die konstruktive Alternative gegenüber anachronistischem Schüren nationalistischer Emotionen durch Politiker verschiedener Seiten.
