課程概述

 自1980年代以來,原本以壟斷態勢盤踞社會科學家對宗教之想像的世俗化理論,面臨一連串來自世界各地、驟然湧現的宗教復振或政教共震之現象的挑戰,原本穩固的典範地位被動搖繼而摧毀之際,隨之而來的是來自各學科的學者──包括經濟學、政治學、心理學、歷史學,社會學及人類學──重新探索「宗教」概念及想像如何交織在現代性的世界歷史推演之中、宗教作為一制度在現代社會之位置,以及世俗與神聖的界線。他們跨學科、多元方法的努力,將視野擴展到西方/基督教/宗教組織及菁英的傳統研究範圍以外。這不但讓新世紀的宗教研究創意迸射,同時也刺激著廣義的文化分析乃至社會理論的建構。本課程所選讀的多本名著(可狹義歸類來自社會學、人類學、後殖民歷史研究、政治哲學等),就是這股思潮中最具代表性且對經驗研究有所啟發及反思的。通過本課程,期待修課同學能掌握宗教社會學最近研究趨勢,我們從幾個最重要的主題中挑選三大項目:(1) 宗教研究新取徑 (2) 全球伊斯蘭信仰及東亞 (3) 歐美基督宗教反思。每個項目挑選四至五本書閱讀。 

課程目標

透過仔細閱讀、批判性書寫及相互討論,本課程希望(1)介紹宗教理論前沿的發展,(2)深化同學對於廣義文化分析及社會理論的思考,(3)做為一個身在宗教如此多樣及有活力的台灣人,思考如何用嶄新的問題意識及研究架構,研究廿一世紀紛陳殊異的宗教現象。我也希望通過本課程,增進學生在讀英文文獻時的效率及掌握文本之重點的能力,因此,原則上每一周的閱讀頁數為80頁左右,實際的份量可視文本難易或同學適應的程度再做修改。
