Abstract

ABSTRACT This collection brings together five contributions that draw on ethnographic research into a range of cases from Japanese contexts to explore religion and minority from a variety of perspectives. This introduction provides a brief overview of the key questions and themes that the collection addresses. How is minority religion constructed and by whom? What is the impact of minority status on a group or an individual’s marginalisation and exclusion? What are the implications when a particular group, practice, or faction within a larger organisation is defined as ‘minority’? And how do marginalised groups use their minority status to negotiate their place within society or inside their religious community? Taken together, these contributions highlight how minorities emerge within minority groups such as so-called new religions and immigrant religions, how traditional practices or traditions can themselves be minoritised in different social, historical, and geographical contexts, and how minority status can be used as a tool of empowerment as well as exclusion.
日本背景下的宗教和少数民族
本作品集汇集了五篇关于民族志研究的文章,这些文章在日本背景下研究了一系列案例,从不同的角度探讨了宗教和少数民族。本引言简要概述了该集合所涉及的关键问题和主题。少数民族宗教是如何建构的,又是由谁建构的?少数群体地位对一个群体或个人的边缘化和排斥有什么影响?当一个较大组织内的特定群体、实践或派别被定义为“少数群体”时,意味着什么?边缘群体如何利用他们的少数民族身份来谈判他们在社会或宗教团体中的地位?总之,这些贡献突出了少数群体如何在所谓的新宗教和移民宗教等少数群体中出现,传统习俗或传统如何在不同的社会、历史和地理背景下成为少数群体,以及少数群体地位如何被用作赋权和排斥的工具。

期刊介绍: Religion, State & Society has a long-established reputation as the leading English-language academic publication focusing on communist and formerly communist countries throughout the world, and the legacy of the encounter between religion and communism. To augment this brief Religion, State & Society has now expanded its coverage to include religious developments in countries which have not experienced communist rule, and to treat wider themes in a more systematic way. The journal encourages a comparative approach where appropriate, with the aim of revealing similarities and differences in the historical and current experience of countries, regions and religions, in stability or in transition.
