The Ankave live in the far northern part of Gulf Province, far from its headquarters located on the southern coast, and do not yet have permanent church or health services that could accompany women in labour and save them in the event of difficulties. This situation may well have to do with the local importance of the rituals associated with the arrival of a first child, but this is not the point the paper would actually focus on. \u0000It would rather undertake an analysis of this ritual, which has the particularity of not being reducible to one specific moment but entails a series of gestures, attitudes, taboos and gifts that concern a wide range of kin and affines from the time when the pregnancy is known to the days that follow the birth. It is made up of secret gendered moments as well as public ones and results in a new parental pair that will thus become able to accomplish on their own what is needed for subsequent children to be fully integrated into the community. \u0000While these kinds of ritual have regionally been considered as one phase of male initiations (without much being said about it in the literature devoted to Anga groups; Herdt 1981, Godelier 1982), I argue that, among the Ankave (a southern Anga people), first-birth rituals are much more than the last stage of a male ritual cycle. The actions of everyone linked to the parents-to-be, together with the involvement of the parents themselves, point to both accession to parenthood for men and women alike and the expression of the avuncular relationship as a focus of the ritual.","PeriodicalId":108795,"journal":{"name":"Australian Religion Studies Review","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134328756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Religiosity, religious behavior and experience vary in the way they are reported and understood. This study presents a methodological approach to investigating the relationship between self-reported religiosity and an objectively constructed index of religious intensity. The data were obtained from a multi-country study of Muslim religiosity in which over 6000 Muslim respondents were surveyed through a structured questionnaire. The survey questionnaire included questions on the self-reported religiosity of the respondent and forty four items to ascertain respondents’ attitudes toward key Islamic beliefs and practices. A multiple item religious intensity scale was extracted through factor analysis from these forty four items. The percentage distribution of self-reported religiosity is reported by country and globally and then cross tabulated against the religious intensity index. In all countries those who labeled themselves as very religious also had the strongest religious intensity. A correlational analysis between the two measures of religiosity was performed which revealed a highly significant correlation between the two measures. The sociological significance of this finding is that self-reported religiosity can be a reliable and valid measure of religious commitment. The paper concludes with a discussion of varying levels of religiosity found in different countries and offers some cultural explanations of the observed variations making a timely contribution to understanding Muslim religiosity in the modern world.","PeriodicalId":108795,"journal":{"name":"Australian Religion Studies Review","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115953798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is an increasing realization that the belief in an authentic spiritual reality, often outside of the Church, is growing among the mainstream population. This growth of a spiritual reality is reflected among various academic disciplines—psychology, religious studies, midwifery and anthropology are but a few examples. However, it appears largely absent within sociology of childbirth and only in an ‘infantile’ stage within sociology of religion. This is surprising considering the extensive research spanning multiple decades across the two fields. It leaves one to question whether the lack of research on spirituality is an actual reflection of the lived experience of the individual or a reflection of the epistemological and methodological terrain of the discipline itself. To better understand this, an historical overview is presented on the research carried out within sociology of childbirth and religion. It is argued that there is a twofold reason behind this silence. First is the domination of theoretical concerns around very specific issues within both fields of the discipline—namely medicalization and secularization. The second relates to the methodologies employed, more specifically within sociology of religion. While the sociology of childbirth has at its disposal the methodological tools necessary to study spirituality it appears that it lacks the paradigm that is open to the study. Paradoxically, sociology of religion possesses the required paradigm but requires the expansion of its methodological tools to develop its study into the field.","PeriodicalId":108795,"journal":{"name":"Australian Religion Studies Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129495306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Spiritism and Charisma: Caodaism from its Infancy 招魂术与魅力:从幼年开始的道教

Of these forms I will investigate and speculate upon how the process of seance can be spoken of, understood in this Vietnamese context and how various ways to manage it were devised and operated by Caodaists. It will be shown that a general inability to manage seance led to the development of numerous other Caodaist groupings in Vietnam. After a period of division during the late 1920s and throughout the 1930s, Tay Ninh Caodaism (the original “trunk” of Caodaism) continued to develop under the influence of the increasingly charismatic leader Pham Cong Tac. It will be argued that under the guiding influence of this man, Tay Ninh Caodaism developed politically, hierarchically and mystically as a separate entity from other variants of Caodaism and that these developments better facilitated Pham Cong Tac’s control of the organization through charismatic manifestations rather than seance-granted authority. As this shift takes place, I will show that there is a change of emphasis from the democratically organised Cuu Trung Dai, or administrative hierarchy of the faith, to the self-selecting Hiep Thien Dai, or branch of mediums. Furthermore, post 1945; the work of Pham Cong Tac changes the spiritual emphasis of Caodaism from a non-personal thaumaturgical authority to a prophetic charismatic authority. Although Tay Ninh Caodaism is seen to operate in this more pragmatic charismatic way, it continues to understand itself as a seance-based group.","PeriodicalId":108795,"journal":{"name":"Australian Religion Studies Review","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130703834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
