Abstract

In our afterword to the special issue on the negotiation of Christian identities between global entanglement and local identity politics, we shed light on what unites the four contributions and provide some questions that invite us to think further. We argue that all four of the presented case studies demonstrate that naming is a dynamic, contested and on-going process that unfolds between the local and the global and to which we thus refer to as the "transcultural dynamics of naming". We ask if these dynamics play out differently in everyday life practices and institutional politics; if these dynamics have to be analysed as instances of identity politics or if other concepts might offer more analytical purchase; and finally, we ask how religious identifications materialize on the ground and what material effects they might produce.

命名的跨文化动态:福音派和五旬节派在地方语境中作为身份标记的挪用与争论

在关于基督徒身份在全球纠缠和地方身份政治之间的协商的特刊的后记中，我们阐明了是什么将这四篇文章联系在一起，并提出了一些问题，邀请我们进一步思考。我们认为，上述四个案例研究都表明，命名是一个动态的、有争议的、持续的过程，在本地和全球之间展开，因此我们将其称为“命名的跨文化动态”。我们会问，这些动力在日常生活实践和制度政治中是否会以不同的方式发挥作用;如果这些动态必须作为身份政治的实例来分析，或者如果其他概念可能提供更多的分析购买;最后，我们会问宗教认同是如何在地面上具体化的，以及它们可能产生的物质影响。

期刊介绍： PentecoStudies offers a distinctly interdisciplinary forum for the study of Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity. Authors from the social sciences, the humanities, cultural studies, religious studies and theology are all welcome to submit research on global expressions of Pentecostalism defined in its broadest sense. The journal invites work that attends to historical, contemporary and regional studies. In particular, it is interested in the global expansion of Pentecostalism, its mutations and impact on society, culture and the media, including its influence on traditional non-Pentecostal churches. Comparative research is encouraged, especially if it is based on different regional studies and contributes to our understanding of globalization and the role of Pentecostalism in post-colonial contexts. Attention to the lived experience of religion is important and studies that include empirical research are welcome, as well as theoretical studies. Theological contributions that assist our understanding of the beliefs and practices of Pentecostal Christians are essential and these are best placed if they engage in a dialogue with the broader traditions of philiosophy and theology, especially ecumenical dialogue. Finally, in this age of many faiths, it is important that the impact of Pentecostalism on other religious traditions is researched and vice versa. Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity ("Pentecostalisms") cannot be fully appreciated in isolation but must be understood in all its complexity when it is placed in multiple contexts and viewed through multiple lenses. The journal aims to fulfil this important research need.
