Identity in the face of Religious Plurality. A qualitative-reconstructive approach on conditions and impacts regarding Interreligious Communication

文化的多样性、生活方式的异质性和宗教思想的多元性一直是不同科学学科的一个具有挑战性的课题。在这方面，关于文化、社会和个人身份认同的问题，以及关于陌生人和亲密关系的问题，构成了文化和社会研究的反思领域。在宗教多元性和宗教间接触和交流领域的一些研究也得到了特别关注。然而，将宗教纳入上述辩论似乎有问题。至少从学科的角度来看，宗教间的相遇和交流，另外，是根据超越真理的主张来处理的，这可能与无形的权威有关。在这方面，宗教间交流的目的不仅在于谈判相互容忍的限度，而且还在于为承认无形的真理要求而斗争。在这种观点看来，宗教多元化似乎是危险的，不可避免地会引发文明的冲突（亨廷顿，1998）。相比之下，提交的项目设定了这样一个假设，即宗教间相遇和交流的空间，就像这些在9/11之后作为宗教间对话的倡议而建立起来的空间，已经建立了独特的宗教动态空间，宗教个人和社会混合身份已经超越了传统的宽容让步和/或一神论宗教绝对主张的严格限制。该项目打算用重建方法分析在宗教间对话倡议中发生的持续的宗教间交流如何影响成员的共同工作。该项目的目的是在面对近距离社会宗教多元化的经验时，产生一个有根据的宗教认同理论。在这里，不仅演员的认知过程治疗和他们的主观理论是有趣的，但他们的冲突，描绘，协调，或混合的宗教产生的感觉在传记水平上。该项目还将着眼于打破和放弃宗教间交流的门户。因此，本项目首次分析了在不断的宗教间交流中产生的传记性动态，以及宗教多元性在社会近距离的各自体验。因此，该项目有助于现代宗教史以及关于现代社会中宗教的世俗化和转变的辩论。

The variety of cultures, heterogeneity of lifestyles and plurality of religious ideas has been a challenging subject of diverse scientific disciplines. In this regard, questions about recognition of cultural, social and personal identity, as well as about the relationship between the stranger and the intimate contour the field of reflections in cultural and social studies. Some studies are also given special attention in the field of religious plurality and interreligious encounter and communication. However, the religion seems problematic to integrate into the above mentioned debate. At least in emic perspective, interreligious encounter and communication, additionally, are dealt with in terms of claims of transcendent truth, which are possibly connected to intangible authority. In this respect, interreligious communication does not only aim at the negotiation of the limits of mutual toleration, but, furthermore, at the struggle for recognition of intangible claims of truth. Religious plurality, in this view, appears dangerous and unavoidably triggers the clash of civilizations (Huntington 1998).In contrast, the submitted project sets the assumption that spaces of interreligious encounter and communication, like these, which have been founded after 9/11 as initiatives of interreligious dialogue, have established unique spaces of religious dynamics where religious personal and social hybrid identities have emerged beyond traditional tolerance concessions and/or strict limitations of the monotheistic religions claim of absoluteness.With reconstructive methods the project intends to analyze how continuous interreligious communication as it takes place in initiatives of interreligious dialogue influences the common work on of members. The aim of the project is to generate a grounded theory of religious Identity in the face experiences of religious plurality in a social near range. Here, not only the actors cognitive processes of treatment and their subjective theories are of interest, but their conflicts, delineation, harmonization, or mixtures of religious generation of sense on a biographical level. The project will also look at the gateways of the break down and abandonment of interreligious communication.Therefore, the project analyzes for the first time which biographical dynamics are generated by continuously interreligious communication respective experiences of religious plurality in social close-range. The project thus contributes to the history of modern religiosity and to the debates on secularization and transformation of religion in modern societies.
