'Interfaith connections at home: domestic space, practice and dialogue in contemporary London'

通过这个项目，我将探索国内宗教空间和习俗对当代伦敦基督教、犹太教和穆斯林社区的跨宗教意义。我的项目涵盖日常生活和宗教节日期间的家庭习俗(例如家庭角色、招待和食物)和宗教信仰的家庭空间(例如宗教肖像、物质和感官文化)，我的项目将有助于关于家庭、宗教和宗教间对话的更广泛的辩论。由一系列组织开展的宗教间活动集中在教育、民间社会和城市的公共空间，而不是家庭。当代伦敦和其他地方关于家庭和宗教的研究主要集中在特定的信仰社区，而不是它们之间的宗教间联系(包括McCloud，1996；Tolia-Kelly，2004)。我将回答以下问题：a)这所房子是如何以及为什么成为当代伦敦基督教、犹太和穆斯林社区重要的宗教实践场所？B)不同信仰团体的国内惯例之间有什么联系和区别？C)这些社区的家庭空间如何以及为什么受到宗教信仰的影响？D)人们在多大程度上接触和了解不同信仰的家庭和家庭习俗？E)家庭在多大程度上可以成为不同信仰间接触、对话和理解的场所？

Through this project, I will explore the interfaith significance of domestic religious spaces and practices for Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities in contemporary London. Spanning domestic practices in everyday life and during religious festivals (e.g. familial roles, hospitality, and food) and domestic spaces of religious faith (e.g. religious iconography, material and sensory culture), my project will contribute to broader debates about home, religion and interfaith dialogue. Interfaith activities developed by a range of organizations concentrate on public spaces of education, civil society and the city rather than home. Research on home and religion in contemporary London and elsewhere largely focuses on particular faith communities rather than interfaith connections between them (including McCloud, 1996; Tolia-Kelly, 2004). I will address the following questions: a) How and why is the home an important site of religious practice for Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities in contemporary London? b) What are the connections and differences between the domestic practices of different faith communities? c) How and why are domestic spaces informed by religious faith across these communities? d) To what extent do people encounter and understand the homes and domestic practices of different faiths? e) To what extent can the home be a site of interfaith engagement, dialogue and understanding?
