“…Military chaplaincy and pastoral care for Muslim soldiers in particular is becoming a special field of international research and discussion (see for example Benham Rennick 2011;Gilliat-Ray, Ali, and Stephen 2013;Todd 2013; Michalowski in this issue). However, Muslim chaplaincy is not yet established within the Austrian armed forces: the introduction of pastoral care for Muslim soldiers represents a particular challenge, and not only in the Austrian context.…”

“…The U.S. military appointed its first world religions chaplain in 2010 although non‐Christian chaplains in the U.S. military and elsewhere continue to be understood through a largely Christian template (Sullivan ). This template is evident in the struggles Jewish and Muslim chaplains have gone through trying to create fields and practices for themselves distinct from Protestant norms and appropriate for the constituents they serve (Gillat‐Ray, Ali, and Pattison ; Taylor and Zucker ). While scholars in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom have described this first‐order translation—the creation of chaplaincy roles for non‐Christian chaplains—we focus on a second‐order translation in the movement of spiritual care through transnational contexts to countries outside of North America and Western Europe (Cadge ; Cobb, Swift, and Todd ; Pesut et al.…”

Translating Spirituality: Universalism and Particularism in the Diffusion of Spiritual Care from the United States to Israel

Research on the transnational diffusion of ideas and practices shows how cultural objects go through translation, adaptation, and vernacularization when implemented in new localities. Less attention is given to the translators themselves and their heterogeneous and often conflicting visions. Drawing on the notion of transnational social fields (TSFs), this article investigates how cultural objects get vernacularized differently in different parts of the TSF, demonstrating how processes of translation reflect larger social and political struggles over questions of identity. As a case study, we focus on the attempt of actors from Israel and the United States to institutionalize spiritual care in Israeli health‐care organizations. The analysis reveals how spiritual care functioned as a porous cultural object, open to a wide range of interpretations and debates. While actors in New York saw in spiritual care the opportunity to bridge to Israeli Jews and create a global Jewish identity, Israeli actors split between using spiritual care as a vehicle for creating a local Israeli Jewish identity and seeing in spiritual care the opportunity to establish universal identities, broader than the Jewish one. The disagreement and conflicts between the groups influenced the translation process, turning it into a contentious struggle that involved different positions on the continuum between particularism and universalism.

In this paper, we revisit King and McDermott's 1990 article on the social construction of 'control problem' prisoners and their management in high security prisons, in the light of our recent research on the location and building of trust in contemporary high security prisons. We examine how religious and race identities are now deeply implicated in the construction of risk, and we describe the procedures for and some of the consequences of managing the new risks of radicalization and extremist violence in prison. The analysis is based on observations and interviews with staff and prisoners in two main and two supplementary maximum-security prisons in England and Wales.
