Markets of Singularities. Hybrid Religious Networks in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania

奇点市场。梅克伦堡-西波美拉尼亚的混合宗教网络通过借鉴前一个宗教混合项目的成果，该项目旨在重建梅克伦堡-西波美拉尼亚更大的宗教领域(P.Bourdieu)。因此，治愈和精神疗愈、生态和灵性以及手工艺和精神手工艺这三个关键领域被归因于这个更大的宗教领域。它是作为一种社会实践，在奇点市场中以网络型和市场型的形式构成和组织的。这些认可和建立信任的市场和附属机构同样可以建立、稳定或加强宗教交流。宗教混合服务和具有象征意义的文物被作为需要外部验证的适销对路的单一产品进行交易。由于不能想当然地认为标准化和可比性是理所当然的，交换过程涉及到根本的不可估量。因此，信念和信任必须提供持续交流的可靠性和前景。这些特定的(市场)机制植根于连接知识和信仰的符号系统。作为确认和建立信任的机构，网络、专家和专业代表着可能出现这些奇特市场的社会和文化条件。由于这种方法，由(新)古典市场经济概念造成的约束得到了转化和解决。为了涵盖这些交流过程，设想求助于宗教社会学的方法(H.Hervieu-Léger)，特别是经济社会学的最新概念(L.Karpik)。除了关于验证和建立信任机构的结构和稳定性的外部条件的问题外，还将通过网络分析以及引导性访谈和参与者观察的方法调查关于这一较大宗教领域的内部结构的其他问题。

Markets of Singularities. Hybrid Religious Networks in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania By taking recourse to the results of the preceding project on Religious Hybrids, this project aims at reconstructing the larger religious field (P. Bourdieu) in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Thereby, the three crucial areas of cure and spiritual healing, ecology and spirituality, and handicraft and spiritual craftsmanship are attributed to this larger religious field. It is constituted and organized as a social practice by means of network-like and market-shaped forms of Vergemeinschaftung and Vergesellschaftung in markets of singularities. These markets and belonging agencies of validation and confidence building can likewise establish, stabilize or strengthen religious communication. Religious-hybrid services and symbolically significant artifacts are traded as marketable singular products requiring external validation. As standardization and comparability cannot be taken for granted, exchange processes involve fundamental imponderabilities. Therefore, faith and trust must provide for reliability and prospect of continual exchange. These specific (market) mechanisms are rooted in symbolic systems joining knowledge and belief. As agencies of validation and confidence building, networks, experts and professions represent the social and cultural conditions for the possibility of those peculiar markets of singularities. Due to this approach, constraints caused by (neo)classical economic concepts of market are transformed and resolved. For the sake of encompassing these exchange processes, it is envisaged to resort to approaches from the sociology of religion (H. Hervieu-Léger) and particularly to recent concepts from economic sociology (L. Karpik). Besides questions about external conditions of structure and stability as to agencies of validation and confidence building, additional questions on the internal structure of that larger religious field will be investigated via methods of network analysis as well as by means of guided interviews and participant observation.
