SFB 1136: Education and Religion in Cultures of the Mediterranean and Its Environment from Ancient to Medieval Times and to the Classical Islam

合作研究中心调查了从公元前5世纪到16世纪希腊罗马宗教、犹太教、基督教和伊斯兰教的教育和宗教星座。研究的指导假设是，调查教育和宗教的关系将提供对文化、社会和宗教动态的更深入的见解，这些动态是这些文化和宗教的基础；此外，这一研究议程也将有助于揭示当代关于教育和宗教辩论的历史根源。“教育”是通过区分社会化（通过参与家庭生活和社会）、教育（通过教师和其他权威）和自我形成的过程来概念化的，即对上帝、世界和自我的批判性反思的发展（德语意思是“培养”）。“宗教”包括话语、实践和制度，这些都是基于与超越人类日常经验的存在的关系这一前提。这些概念允许以跨学科和比较的方式对现象和星座进行分析，从而采用类型学和谱系学方法。在第二个资助期，教育和宗教的动态在四个项目领域进行调查：(A)“物质性”侧重于基于对象的方面和各自的话语；(B)“解释”涉及被认为是神圣经文的授权策略；(C)“传播”分析了宗教言论行为与邪教实践和教师能力的关系；(E)“语境化”研究古代和中世纪城市作为不同文化和宗教相遇和互动的空间。学科的舞台包括经典和犹太研究，以及基督教训诂学和教会历史，宗教研究和伊斯兰研究，中世纪历史和宗教教育学；犹太研究由位于希伯来大学（耶路撒冷）的两个子项目代表。因此，在Göttingen大学，儿童权利中心加强了对已经存在的宗教研究的关注；它深化和加强了跨时代、跨宗教文化的学科合作。

The Collaborative Research Centre investigates constellations of education and religion in Greco-Roman religion, Judaism, Christianity and Islam from the 5th century BCE to the 16th century CE. Research is guided by the supposition that investigating the relationship of education and religion will provide deeper insights into cultural, social, and religious dynamics which were fundamental in these cultures and religions; moreover, this research agenda will also be instrumental in uncovering the historical roots of contemporary debates about education and religion. ‘Education’ is conceptualized by differentiating processes of socialization (by participating in family life and society), education (by teachers and other authorities) and self-formation, i.e. the development of critical reflection on God, the world, and the self (‘Bildung’ in its German meaning). ‘Religion’ comprises discourses, practices, and institutions which are based on the presupposition of the relationship to a being beyond everyday human experience. These concepts allow for an analysis of phenomena and constellations in an interdisciplinary and comparative manner, thus employing typological as well as genealogical approaches. In the second funding period, the dynamics of education and religion are investigated within four project areas: (A) ‘Materiality’ focuses on object-based aspects and respective discourses; (B) ‘Interpretations’ deals with strategies of authorization of scriptures considered holy; (C) ‘Communications’ analyzes acts of religious speech with regard to cultic practice and the competency of teachers; and (E) ‘Contextualizations’ investigates ancient and medieval cities as spaces of encounter and interaction of different cultures of religions. The tableau of academic disciplines involves Classics and Jewish Studies as well as Christian exegesis and Church History, Religious Studies and Islamic Studies, Medieval History and Pedagogics of Religion; Jewish Studies is represented by two subprojects situated at the Hebrew University (Jerusalem). Thus, at Göttingen University, the CRC strengthens the focus on already existing research into religions; it deepens and intensifies the cooperation between academic disciplines beyond borders of epochs and religious cultures.
