Religious Materialities, Aesthetics, and Protests in Urban Poland: Religious Icons and the Re-Emergence of Civil Society

In this paper, we reflect on the creativity and social change nexus in urban Poland by focusing on the recent religion-linked materialities in Kraków. Such materialities, or religious icons, are directly involved with transformations and the emergence of a new type of Polish civil society and activism. Therefore, we elaborate on the notion of religious icons involved in the recent re-emergence of the protest culture in Poland. We reframe them in terms of powerful socio-religious mediators that open the way to re-imagining and claiming new (re)configurations between social and religious fields in Poland. We acknowledge the role played by affective, creative, and semantic modalities of aesthetics vis-à-vis social change and suggest rethinking the link between creativity and religion, which we consider emblematic of current epistemologies of post-secular urbanities in Poland. We claim that the religion-creativity nexus should be included in the analytical framework examining contemporary developments of Polish civil society in general and social movements in particular.

Pemahaman Liberalisme dalam Perspektif Islam dan Kristen Studi terhadap Pandangan Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) dan Persekutuan Injili Indonesia

This study discusses the understanding of religious liberalism from an Islamic and Christian perspective. Liberal values are prohibited by the MUI, so Islam is contrary to the basic right to freedom. In rejecting the principle of freedom, the meaning is often misinterpreted as "free as freely as possible without limits" which is not actually the freedom of anarchy. Misunderstandings occur among orthodox Islamic circles, but also among secular nationalities. Liberalism is related to individualism on the one hand and imperialist capitalism on the other. Liberalism understands that it experiences development and change and can even form politics and political parties. The opposite of liberalism is fundamentalism, both in the economic and religious fields. What is meant by liberal freedom here is freedom that is institutionalized in constitutional law, freedom and human rights are the foundation of democracy, because with these principles every citizen is given the right to choose and be elected. Christian liberalism, they want to return to the holy book because Christianity has various kinds of sects and interpretations of the holy book at this time, so liberal Protestant Christians want to return to the new teachings, because it is opposed by fundamentalism, therefore again, sects and sects are born again. currents in Christianity. Liberalism in Islam is a renewal of good life, in the study of fiqh, kalam science, and Sufism. They want to make reforms with certain grounds and reasons. So the MUI forbids the flow of religious liberalism, whereas in Christianity the flow of religious liberalism is not prohibited because the Christian religion, every time they have an understanding of their own religion, they immediately create their own sects and sects, because the Christian religion has no valid guidelines, the Bible follows the times. which is very different from Islam, whatever actions and actions are based on the Koran and hadith. The method used is a qualitative method, which is based on the theory of liberalism.

OTORITAS FATWA KEAGAMAAN DALAM KONTEKS ERA KECERDASAN BUATAN (ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE/AI)

There is almost no line of life that is not possessed by artificial intelligence, including in the religious field. Islamic information, including religious fatwas can now be obtained quickly, easily, and abundantly by Muslims with the help of artificial intelligence technology. This poses an ethical problem when artificial intelligence algorithms shift religious authorities. This paper specifically discusses the views of (a) Islam about the presence of artificial intelligence technology and (b) questions religious fatwas from artificial intelligence using a normative approach with literature data. From this paper it is obtained that seeing the positive and negative impacts contained in the use of artificial intelligence, the Islamic view in this case is in a position of conflict on the one hand and reconciliation on the other when faced with artificial intelligence technology. As for fatwas obtained from artificial intelligence, in general it cannot be the only source to be taken as a legal opinion that is followed because of its anonymity (majhul al-hal). Thus, Muslims must still refer to credible religious authorities established or legalized by local authorities.

For decades, Indonesia has often been hit by issues of radicalism. Movements acting on behalf of certain groups are growing day by day and openly voicing their ideology. Religious diversity is the strongest in shaping radicalism in Indonesia. the motives that shape their movement can be sensitivity to religious life, the influence of extreme streams and political influence. Real religious moderation is the realization of the most basic truth and does not eliminate each other's identity. The attitude of moderation does not defame the truth, each of them has a clear attitude on an issue, about truth, about the law of an issue, but in the corridor of religious moderation.

The emergence of Covid-19 in 2020 has changed many aspects of life in the world. The Covid-19 pandemic has also affected the economy, education and other sectors such as the social and religious fields. Due to restrictions on attending worship activities, the idea emerged to utilize facilities that were believed to assist worship activities. One of facilities contained in existing technology to assist houses of worship is online. The influence of technology during the pandemic on the social and religious sectors is considered to have great benefits. As an example of the impact that occurred in the Church of St. Theresia of the Bongsari Parish.When mid-July 2020, after the government issued a New Normal policy, the Parish began to open mass activities by offline. The system used at that time included people registering through a collective list from the head of section where parishioners domicile nearby. However, the registration system is still considered ineffective, so the registration system is then developed using the Google Form facility. Although the offline mass registration system has undergone many developments, it still has many shortcomings. Therefore, the responsive web-based offline mass registration application is expected to be able to help the problems experienced by the church during the mass registration flow as well as the development of a dashboard as a means to be able to process data easily and efficiently for church administration officers. Application development is carried out using the ADDIE method, namely Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation.

Religion in the 21st Century

Religion as a category and object of study in (Western) academia has undergone a sequence of upheavals over the last several decades, responding to significant transformations in global society and as a reflection of internal disciplinary developments. This paper focuses on such transformations and developments principally within the disciplines the sociology of religion and religious studies. After summarizing these transformations, it presents three interrelated arguments: a) Both transformations, in the disciplines and in the larger social context, are the latest versions of very long discussion and development that have their roots in the nineteenth-twentieth century foundation of religion as an analytic category, in the imperial/colonial spread and glocal appropriation of the category of religion, and in the “Westphalian” institutional modeling of religion with the modern nationstate. b) The current transformations in the “religious field” are a reflection of a decline in that modeling, yielding further uncertainty about how religion should be conceived. c) The ideas of religion and secularization should not be discarded, but should be contextualized in a broader diversity of categorization that goes beyond the binary modeling of religion/not-religion (or secular). A systems-theoretical approach informs all three arguments.

Race, risk, and American religious groups' views of Nazi Germany in 1935.

What explains American religious groups' views of Nazi Germany before the U.S. entered the Second World War? Using a comparative-historical approach, we employ a novel set of data on 25 of America's most prominent religious denominations to answer this question. We find that two factors were crucial in explaining religious elite discourse about Hitler in the U.S. in 1935: whether leaders believed inwhite supremacy and whether their denominations were incumbents or challengers in the American religious field. Our findings underscore the growing theoretical consensus that racial resentment is key to support for authoritarianism and call attention to religious groups' complicity in its growth, both active and passive.

Markets of protection: religious rivalry, insecurity, and illegality in Cape Town’s urban fringes

ABSTRACT This article explores the multiple links between Pentecostalism and the production of security in Cape Town’s isiXhosa-speaking townships and traces the ways in which Pentecostal churches have become embroiled with Cape Town’s criminal economies, illegality and violence. In these marginalised urban spaces, which are also territories of relegation, Pentecostal pastors compete with other spiritual specialists who lay claims to spiritual protection just like the state’s law-enforcement agencies over the meanings of crime and violence and legitimate ways to counter them. This competition thrives on the fact that physical harm and the associated states of victimhood are seen as resulting not only from criminal assaults but also from the congeries of spiritual forces that enable them. Simultaneously, there is mounting competition within the religious field and increasingly strenuous assertions of religious sovereignty vis-à-vis the secular state. I argue that all of these developments have contributed to Pentecostalism’s links with illegality. Importantly, capacities to wield spiritual power are as central for understanding the dynamics of the market of spiritual protection against risks as are accusations that those wielding them do so with malign intent. The ambivalent perceptions of Pentecostalism with regard to crime and protection against harm therefore echo those of witchcraft.
