(Re)thinking Religious Studies

Abstract: The world religions paradigm (WRP), often regarded as hegemonic in research and education in religious studies, has long been criticized for being modeled on predominantly Protestant, Christian, and Western ideas about religion, and thus running the risk of reductionism and of a failure to recognize expressions of religion that do not fit this framework. Despite this, it is difficult to get rid of the prevailing WRP, especially in education. In addition, nonconfessional, nonreligious, secular education in reli… Show more

“…Biesta argues, however, that, “…this is not all there is to education. We always aim for students to end up a subject in their own right; as individuals who can make up their own mind, draw their own conclusions, and take responsibility for their actions.” 30 Biesta calls this purpose of education “subjectification.” Subjectification is when the qualification and socialization purposes of education become an integral part of (or transform) how a person considers, assesses, and evaluates 67 ; it is how the person develops their unique existence within the profession 30,68 or, as some would say, their own practice. 69 Biesta provides us with an example to highlight the interaction between the three purposes, “Teaching a particular skill is not just about learning to do that skill (qualification), but this also communicates something about the importance of that skill in the profession (socialization) and simultaneously has an impact on the agency of the one learning, that is, by mastering this skill they are able to act differently.…”

Bahkan Enstedt dalam artikel "Re-thinking Religious Studies" mensinyalir bahwa reduksionisme sangat terlihat jelas terjadi dalam studi agama di perguruan tinggi (Enstedt, 2020). Prevalensinya begitu mengakar, tersebar luas serta mampu mencegah pengakuan manifestasi keagamaan di ranah personal maupun komunal (Zand, 2019).…”
