Abstract

This paper addresses a central issue linked to research conducted on an eclectic conglomeration of people connected in various ways to the principal European site of the Japanese new religion of Tenrikyō. Although the center itself is in a Parisian suburb and the majority of its key actors are Japanese, the people connected to this center and its associated social world span beyond the Paris region and include various nationalities, countries of residence, and even religious identities. Moreover, the people connected to this center and the presence of the Tenrikyō religion in Europe are largely one and the same, but not entirely. A question commonly posed to the researcher by “outsiders” is how many Tenrikyō “members” there are in Paris, France, and/or Europe, and if they are Japanese or the nationality of the local country (French, German, etc.) The complexities of answering such questions are the focus of this discussion.
在讨论其“共同体”的同时,确定天理堂在欧洲存在的复杂性
本文解决了一个与研究有关的中心问题,该研究以各种方式与日本新宗教天理宗的主要欧洲地点联系在一起。虽然该中心本身位于巴黎郊区,其主要参与者大多是日本人,但与该中心及其相关社会世界有关的人们跨越了巴黎地区,包括不同的国籍、居住国,甚至宗教身份。此外,与这个中心联系在一起的人和天理教在欧洲的存在在很大程度上是一样的,但也不完全是一样的。“局外人”经常向研究人员提出的一个问题是,在法国巴黎和/或欧洲有多少天理社“成员”,他们是日本人还是当地国家的国籍(法国人、德国人等)。回答这些问题的复杂性是本次讨论的重点。
