摘要

定居考古学家Carole L.Crumley将异政府主义的概念从神经生理学和控制论转移到了人文科学和社会科学,尤其是异政府主义和一般的异政府思维,有助于改变在复杂社会中,等级制度以外的权力结构被视为秩序模式的方式。社会复杂性的概念已经通过挑战秩序与等级秩序的融合而发生了转变。当等级制度与复杂性脱钩时,文化进化的新模式也会出现,在一个社会的历史发展过程中以及在一个系统的不同层面上,都可以观察到异质关系。作为特刊的开篇,本文旨在向宗教专家介绍异质政体的概念,展示其在城市宗教研究中的应用的利弊。最终,所选文章的目的是利用这一有前景的类别来探索和加深对宗教和城市数千年共同进化的理解。

Heterarchy
Transferred from neurophysiology and cybernetics to the humanities and the social sciences by settlement archeologist Carole L. Crumley, the notion of heterarchy, in particular, and heterarchical thinking, in general, have contributed to changing the way in which power structures other than hierarchies are seen as patterns for order in complex societies. The very idea of social complexity has been transformed by challenging the conflation of order with ranked order. New models for cultural evolution also appear when hierarchy is uncoupled from complexity and heterarchical relations are observable all the way to the historical development of a society as well as at different levels of a system. Opening the special issue, this article aims to introduce the concept of heterarchy to specialists of religion by showing benefits and drawbacks of its application to the study of urban religion. Eventually, the purpose of the selected articles is to leverage this promising category to explore and deepen understanding of the millennia-long coevolution of religion and urbanity.

期刊介绍: Numen publishes papers representing the most recent scholarship in all areas of the history of religions. It covers a diversity of geographical regions and religions of the past as well as of the present. The approach of the journal to the study of religion is strictly non-confessional. While the emphasis lies on empirical, source-based research, typical contributions also address issues that have a wider historical or comparative significance for the advancement of the discipline. Numen also publishes papers that discuss important theoretical innovations in the study of religion and reflective studies on the history of the discipline.
