“…For ordinary practitioners, what do religious affiliation and religiosity predict in terms of gender attitudes in non‐Western context? As in much qualitative work, the idea of lived religion (Ammerman 2016; McGuire 2008) at a collective level has crucial implications for quantitative studies of religion because it reveals the nature of religion as an institution that sustains, reproduces, and changes social norms (O'Dea and Yinger 1961). Therefore, this study, which uses data from the general Korean population, contributes to further exploring the role of religion outside of Western Christian contexts by taking into account “average” or “typical” religious participants.…”

Swapping Gender Traditionalism: Christianity, Buddhism, and Gender Ideology in South Korea

South Korea provides an ideal setting for studying religion and gender because Western and local religions are both prominent, and Confucianist beliefs still shape gender norms. Using the 2018 Korean General Social Survey, this study examines the extent to which two dimensions of gender traditionalism in South Korea–Confucian patriarchal ideology (i.e., belief in the subordination of women for Confucian patriarchy) and separate spheres ideology (i.e., belief that men are better suited to work and women to domestic responsibilities)—vary across Buddhists, Catholics, Protestants, and the nonaffiliated. The findings show that Christians have the lowest endorsement for Confucian patriarchal ideology while supporting separate spheres ideology as much as Buddhists, who are most gender traditional in both dimensions. The results illustrate the dynamics between religion and gender norms in South Korea's context, demonstrating how Christianity combines Western modernization with gender‐essentialist traditionalism, while Buddhism maintains Confucian patriarchal values.

“…Scholars studying lived religion have long noted that daily practices, habits, and patterns of social life shape what is commonly understood as “religion” (Ammerman 2007, 2014; McGuire 2008; Orsi 2004). This scholarship, which regards space as a fundamental dimension of the religious experience, explores the everyday dynamics in which neutral space is turned into religious space and the ways these spaces are imagined, experienced, and used (Knott 2005; Kong 2010; Williams 2010).…”

“Not Being Counted”: Women's Place and Religious Space in Jewish Orthodox Communities During the COVID‐19 Crisis

This article draws on the anthropology of crisis to analyze ways in which communal‐religious responses to crisis situations can reveal engrained social and cultural structures, and especially their gendered aspects. We focus on two alternative forms of Jewish communal prayer service that emerged in Orthodox communities in Israel during the first year of the COVID‐19 pandemic: street and balcony minyans. Based on interviews and texts, we explore Orthodox women's experiences of these new religious spaces that entailed the rearrangement of traditional gender and spatial boundaries. We show that while these spaces opened room for new religious experiences for women, they ultimately accentuated their experiences of exclusion. We argue that the destabilization of the physical religious space in these alternative communal prayers reinforced symbolic gender boundaries. Thus, our study not only demonstrates how crises can uncover the deep social grammar of a community, but also how they unearth processes that defy and challenge that grammar.

“…levd RelIgIon I utbIldnIngen Det är i huvudsak utifrån ett levd religion-perspektiv, med fokus på materialitet och religiös praktik, som jag för in praktiska element i den icke-konfessionella religionsutbildningen (Enstedt & Plank, 2018;Ammerman, 2014;Ammerman, 2007;McGuire, 2007). För att klargöra betydelsen av en sådan vändning i synen på religionsvetenskaplig utbildning vänder jag mig till Stephen E. Greggs och Lynne Scholefields distinktion mellan rapporterad, representerad och levd religion:…”

I den här artikeln argumenterar jag för praktikbaserade inslag i icke-konfessionell utbildning i religionsvetenskap. Det görs utifrån några konkreta exempel på religiös praktik som jag har utarbetat inom ramen för den undervisning som jag bedriver. Förslaget gäller inte övningar i varje situation eller sammanhang, och det indikerar inte heller att religiös praktik är det enda sättet att uppnå målen med religionsvetenskaplig utbildning. Det finns även etiska implikationer av att införa religiös praktik i en icke-konfessionell utbildning som jag menar bör tas i beaktande. Jag argumenterar för att religiös praktik kan vara ett sätt att åstadkomma ett djupinriktat lärande och tillägna sig kunskap om religion som skiljer sig från andra typer av färdighetsträning som övas inom ramen för en icke-konfessionell utbildning. Religiös praktik i utbildningen kan även, menar jag, vara ett sätt att hantera de problem som det så kallade världsreligionsparadigmet är förknippat med, som har dominerat religionsvetenskaplig utbildning, läromedelsproduktion och kursplaner. Dessa problem handlar om försanttaganden, föreställningar och definitioner som präglar paradigmets religionsförståelse.
