Abstract

We are glad to launch a new format of a dialogic book review symposium with Joel Robbins’s (2020) Theology and the Anthropology of Christian Life. With contributions from anthropologist Minna Opas, theologian Mika Vähäkangas, and a response from Robbins, this is the first instalment of dialogic encounters on books that cross disciplinary boundaries. Similar to Robbins’s (2020: 13) notion of ‘transformative dialogue’ between anthropology and theology, this new format takes dialogue to be at the heart of the art and practice of book reviewing. In future instalments, we invite scholars from different disciplines to comment on books written by anthropologists from the point of view of their interdisciplinary transformative potential, including the limits of this potential to be actualized in the present. At the core, we are interested in anthropological concept formation at the interface of fieldwork and other disciplines, and how anthropological concepts have influence beyond anthropological theory. If you have suggestions on books that you would like to propose for a dialogic book review symposium, please get in touch.

论坛:神学与基督徒生活人类学

我们很高兴与乔尔·罗宾斯(2020)神学和基督徒生活的人类学推出对话书评研讨会的新格式。有了人类学家Minna Opas，神学家Mika Vähäkangas的贡献，以及罗宾斯的回应，这是第一批跨越学科界限的书籍对话。类似于罗宾斯(2020:13)关于人类学和神学之间“变革对话”的概念，这种新形式将对话置于书评艺术和实践的核心。在未来的分期付款中，我们将邀请来自不同学科的学者从人类学家的跨学科变革潜力的角度来评论他们所写的书籍，包括这种潜力在当前实现的局限性。在核心上，我们感兴趣的是在田野调查和其他学科的界面上形成人类学概念，以及人类学概念如何在人类学理论之外产生影响。如果你有关于书籍的建议，你想在对话书评研讨会上提出，请与我们联系。
