Abstract

ABSTRACT Amid the COVID-19 pandemic that has taken lives, devastated economies, and restricted in-person sociality, this paper interrogates spirituality as capital and accomplishment in the everyday life of ordinary Filipinos. It characterizes spirituality in general and in the pandemic context and examines its effects. It employs social capital theories and ethnomethodology to characterize spirituality as an accomplishment in everyday life with investments and returns. Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with Filipino Muslims and Christians. Findings show that spirituality is accomplished through a daily life of prayer, self-transformation, and good works in new technological formats and a socially distanced manner. Constant prayer as a medium for transcendental connection is the investment and self-conversion and good works are the expressive and instrumental returns, which are desirable resources for individuals and the social structure. The findings have implications for the resilience against crises of a spiritually inclined population. The paper contributes to existing conceptualizations and accounting of spirituality within the context of religion and as social capital.

在信仰宗教的菲律宾人的日常流行病生活中实现灵性

2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行夺走了生命，摧毁了经济，限制了面对面的社交活动，本文在普通菲律宾人的日常生活中，将精神作为资本和成就进行了探讨。它描述了精神的一般特征和在大流行病背景下的特点，并审查了其影响。它采用社会资本理论和民族方法学，将灵性描述为日常生活中的一项成就，具有投资和回报。对菲律宾穆斯林和基督徒进行了十次半结构化访谈。研究结果表明，灵性是通过祈祷、自我改造和以新技术形式和社交方式进行的善行来实现的。持续的祈祷作为超然连接的媒介是投资和自我转换，而好的作品是表达性和工具性的回报，这是个人和社会结构的理想资源。这一发现暗示了精神倾向人群在面对危机时的弹性。本文有助于在宗教和社会资本的背景下对灵性的现有概念化和核算。

期刊介绍： Journal for the Study of Spirituality is a peer-reviewed journal which creates a unique interdisciplinary, inter-professional and cross-cultural forum where researchers, scholars and others engaged in the study and practices of spirituality can share and debate the research, knowledge, wisdom and insight associated with spirituality and contemporary spirituality studies. The British Association for the Study of Spirituality (BASS) organises a biennial international conference and welcomes enquiries about membership from those interested in the study of spirituality in the UK and worldwide. The journal is concerned with what spirituality means, and how it is expressed, in individuals’ lives and communities and in professional practice settings; and with the impact and implications of spirituality in, and on, social policy, organizational practices and personal and professional development. The journal recognises that spirituality and spiritual values can be expressed and studied in secular contexts, including in scientific and professional practice settings, as well as within faith and wisdom traditions. Thus, Journal for the Study of Spirituality particularly welcomes contributions that: identify new agendas for research into spirituality within and across subject disciplines and professions; explore different epistemological and methodological approaches to the study of spirituality; introduce comparative perspectives and insights drawn from different cultures and/or professional practice settings; aim to apply and develop sustained reflection, investigation and critique in relation to spirituality and spiritual practices; critically examine the values and presuppositions underpinning different forms of spirituality and spiritual practices; incorporate different forms of writing and expressions of spirituality.
