Abstract

ABSTRACT This article examines the practices that maintain the gender asymmetry in transnational migratory religious organisations, as exemplified by the Polish organisations of the Roman Catholic Church (so-called Polish Catholic Missions). Based on interviews with women and men involved in these structures as well as on our observations during fieldwork, we reconstruct the gendered division of work in such organisations, with a special focus on differentiation within the area of religious functions. Drawing on integrative theories of gender (especially of Raewyn Connell) and on the new institutionalist understanding of organisations, we investigate how and why these transnational religious bodies resist the normative pressures regarding gender equality stemming from the egalitarian contexts in which they function (England, Belgium, and Sweden).

女人远离圣坛!在英国、瑞典和比利时的波兰天主教会组织中对性别平等压力的抵制

摘要本文探讨了跨国移民宗教组织中保持性别不对称的做法，以罗马天主教会的波兰组织（即所谓的波兰天主教使团）为例。根据对参与这些结构的妇女和男子的采访以及我们在实地调查中的观察，我们重建了这些组织中的性别分工，特别关注宗教职能领域内的差异。根据性别综合理论（尤其是Raewyn Connell的理论）和对组织的新制度主义理解，我们调查了这些跨国宗教团体如何以及为什么抵制来自其运作的平等主义背景下的性别平等规范压力（英国、比利时和瑞典）。

期刊介绍： Journal of Contemporary Religion is an international peer reviewed journal. Its purpose is to both document and evaluate the anthropological, sociological, psychological, and philosophical aspects of emerging manifestations of religiosity in any part of the world—whether within innovative movements or mainstream institutions.

Therefore, the editors of Journal of Contemporary Religion welcome submissions which deal with: classical topics in the study of religion, such as secularisation and the vitality of religion or traditional sectarian movements; more recent developments in the study of religion, including religion and social problems, religion and the environment, religion and education, the transmission of religion, the materialisation and visualisation of religion in various forms, new forms of religious pluralism, the rise of new forms of religion and spirituality, religion and the Internet, religion and science, religion and globalisation, religion and the economy, etc. theoretical approaches to the study of religion; discussions of methods in relation to empirical research; qualitative and quantitative research and related issues. The Journal includes reviews of books which reflect the above themes.
