Emotion, Identity and Religious Communities.

宗教认同是现代生活和以往历史时期一个复杂但重要的组成部分。有时它驱使宗教领袖和社区为更广阔的世界服务，有时在自己周围建立牢固的边界，甚至参与战争。然而，关于它的许多说法要么是泛泛的，要么是过于具体的。这个新成立的学者网络将汇集来自艺术和人文科学以及社会和医学科学的专家，研究个人和社区中宗教身份建构的本质，特别强调群体的情感动态，以了解如何在未来更好地理解宗教体验和社区生活中的关键问题。这个小组将从恐惧和生存的欲望开始，甚至是在一个充满风险但令人敬畏的世界里，人类生活的核心。它将继续探索爱、尊重和服务的理想和情感，以及仇恨、不容忍和冲突的理想和情感，这些往往是不同的真理观念和捍卫或传播认同感和围绕它建立的社区的愿望的结果。对历史和教义问题的警觉性，以及崇拜的文化动态，包括音乐成语，将保持作为这些问题的背景。这些主题是未来政治和宗教讨论的基础，例如，多元文化主义和一体化的概念。这些复杂的问题需要现有学者和新学者的联合，否则他们可能不会见面。他们的专业知识视角涵盖人类学、历史、音乐、心理学和医学精神病学、社会学、神学和宗教研究。其中包括希腊东正教和早期基督教的专业知识；近代早期欧洲的天主教；基督教教派;当前的网络宗教；东南亚的儒教与基督教宗教、身份、自杀和死亡；身份和毒瘾。其中一名成员还是邓普顿科学与宗教奖（1991年）得主。亚洲人权委员会-欧洲宗教与社会研究中心的宗教与社会方案提供了很大的机会，如果成功，该网络的成员将有兴趣从方案主任那里了解到与其他受资助项目的潜在联系，这些项目可能有一名代表将受益于该网络小组或为该网络小组作出贡献。

Religious identity is a complicate but important part of modern life as well as of former historical periods. Sometimes it drives religious leaders and communities into service of the wider world, sometimes to establish firm boundaries around themselves or even to engage in war. Yet much said about it is either of a general nature or overly discipline-specific. This Network of scholars would be newly created to bring together experts from the Arts and Humanities as well as the Social and Medical Sciences to examine the nature of religious identity construction in individuals and communities with particular stress on the emotional dynamics of groups to see how key issues in religious experience and community life might be better understood in the future. The group will begin by considering fear and the desire to survive and even to flourish that lie at the heart of human life in a risk-filled yet awesome world. It will go on to expore ideals and emotions of love, respect and service as well as those of hatred, intolerance and conflict that have often been the result of different ideas of truth and the desire to defend or spread the sense of identity and community built around it. An alertness to historical and doctrinal issues as well as to the cultural dynamics of worship, including music idioms, will be maintained as a background to these issues. These themes are foundational for future political and religious discussions of, for example, notions of multi-culturalism and integration.These complex issues demand the bringing together of established and new scholars who might not otherwise meet. Their specialist set of intellectual perspectives cover anthropology, history, music, psychology and medical psychiatry, sociology, theology and religious studies. They include specialist knowledge of Greek Orthodoxy and early Christianity; Catholicism in Early Modern Europe; Christian sects; current InterNet religions; Confucianism and Christianity in South-east Asia; religion, identity, suicide and death; identity and drug addiction. One member was also a Templeton Prize winner in science and religion (1991). The opportunity presented by the AHRC-ESRC Religion and Society Programme is great and, if successful, it will be of interest to members of this Network to learn from the Programme Director of potential links to other funded projects who might have a representive who would benefit from or contribute to this Netwrok group.
