| Summary: | In this book, Ryszard Bobrowicz discusses why seemingly neutral rooms, multi-faith spaces, were subject to contestations from, and clashes between, their users, their managers, and those shaping policies concerning them. From street protests to parliamentary debates, from Sweden to Spain, this book explores the impact of multi-faith spaces in Europe by critically examining the visions of religion behind, in, and around them. Ryszard Bobrowicz investigates the history and intellectual foundations of the politics of multi-faith in contemporary Europe, introducing the novel notion of ‘legible religion’. According to Bobrowicz, in administrative proceedings, phenomena labelled as religious are reduced to the features that are deemed important by public functionaries. This has striking implications for both practice and politics. In diesem Buch erörtert Ryszard Bobrowicz, warum scheinbar neutrale, multireligiöse Räume Gegenstand von Auseinandersetzungen und Konflikten zwischen ihren Nutzern, ihren Verwaltern und denjenigen waren, die die sie betreffende Politik gestalten. Von Straßenprotesten bis zu Parlamentsdebatten, von Schweden bis Spanien – dieses Buch untersucht die Auswirkungen multireligiöser Räume in Europa, indem es die religiösen Visionen hinter, in und um sie herum kritisch untersucht. Ryszard Bobrowicz untersucht die Geschichte und die intellektuellen Grundlagen der Politik der Multireligion im heutigen Europa und führt den neuartigen Begriff der „lesbaren Religion“ ein. Bobrowicz zufolge werden in Verwaltungsverfahren als religiös bezeichnete Phänomene auf die Merkmale reduziert, die von öffentlichen Funktionären als wichtig erachtet werden. Dies hat bemerkenswerte Auswirkungen sowohl auf die Praxis als auch auf die Politik. [Mit Google Übersetzer übersetzt] |
