一项为期三年的案例研究的证据表明,青年人如何讨论他们的信仰,反映了他们在哪里界定和定位权力、意义和权威的合法场所。对今天的许多年轻人来说,宗教不足以成为信仰和归属感的来源和模式。这里讨论的结果表明,家庭,朋友和其他社会关系的定位信仰,权威和超越的合法和充分的网站。我认为,研究的年轻人不认为信仰是“真的”,因为他们是命题的信条般的声明。年轻人已经改变了信念的含义来描述他们觉得自己属于的情感关系。这种转变需要将超验的东西重新定位到日常和社会中。这种转变在年轻人讨论如何继续与已故亲人的关系时尤为明显。
Evidence from a three-year case study suggests that how young people discuss their beliefs reflect where they define and locate legitimate sites of power, meaning and authority. For many young people today, religion is an insufficient source and mode of belief and belonging. The findings discussed here suggest an orientation to family, friends and other social relationships as legitimate and sufficient sites for locating belief, authority and transcendence. I argue that the young people studied do not holds beliefs to be ‘true’, in that they are propositional creed-like statements. Young people have shifted the meaning of belief to describe affective relationships in which they feel they belong to. Such a shift necessitates a relocation of the transcendent to the everyday and social. That shift is particularly evident as young people discuss how they continue their relationships with the deceased loved ones.
