Intersecting Religioscapes and Antagonistic Tolerance: Trajectories of Competition and Sharing of Religious Spaces in the Balkans

Preliminary Notes towards a Soteriological Analysis of Museums

“…Instead of resting on an inclusivist assumption of the common good this agonistic pluralism works from an understanding of a pluralistic and conflictual consensus that will not expect everyone to have similar ideals but will demand respect for those with other soteriological imaginaries as legitimate adversaries within the democratic community (Mouffe, 2000).

Post-Ottoman Coexistence

“…My analysis diff ers from that of others in this volume because it draws on concepts developed in the course of a fi ve-year, multi-disciplinary, and comparative research project on competitive sharing of religious sites, which my colleagues and I have carried out via fi eld research in Bulgaria, India, Mexico, Peru, Portugal, and Turkey, with substantial reference to library resources on other places (see Hayden 2002;Hayden et al 2011;Hayden and Walker 2013;Hayden et al 2016; and the website of the project, http://www.ucis.pitt.edu/antagonistictolerance/AT_Main_ Page.html). We have developed a model of "antagonistic tolerance" (hereafter, AT) to explain long-term patterns of relationship between members of groups who identify themselves and each other as Self and Other communities, diff erentiated primarily on the basis of religion, living intermingled but rarely intermarrying (Hayden 2002).…”

Milletic Secularism in the Balkans: Christianity, Islam, and Identity in Bulgaria
