摘要

Lofland和Stark的先锋皈依模式表明，人们之所以选择一种宗教，是因为他们传记中的经历激励他们寻求有关生活目的的答案，而且因为他们遇到了某种宗教的信徒，而这种信徒恰好为他们提供了令人信服的答案。我们利用Lofland- stark模型，同时考虑Lofland和Skonovd的皈依母题概念，以更深入地了解皈依者接受新信仰的故事。此外，我们将帕卢茨安的精神转化概念整合到我们的理论框架中，以涵盖转换和再转换(回归)。在这一概念背景下，我们结合了叙述性自传式访谈和定性网络分析，采访了瑞士的24名皈依者和再皈依者。在此基础上，我们提出了一个基于“寻求答案”和“社会联系”维度的类型学。

Embracing Islam in Switzerland: (Re-)Conversion Between Searching for the Meaning of Life and Social Ties.

Abstract The pioneer conversion model of Lofland and Stark suggests that people adopt a religion because experiences in their biography motivate them to seek answers regarding the purpose of life, and because they encounter followers of a religion that happens to provide them with convincing answers. We draw on the Lofland-Stark model while considering Lofland’s and Skonovd’s concept of conversion motifs to gain a deeper insight into the convert’s story of adopting a new faith. Furthermore, we integrate Paloutzian’s concept of spiritual transformation into our theoretical framework to cover both conversion and reconversion (reversion). Against this conceptual background and applying a combination of narrative-autobiographical interviews with qualitative network analysis, we interviewed 24 converts and reconverts in Switzerland. Based on the findings, we propose a typology along the dimensions of “seeking answers” and “social contacts”.

期刊介绍： Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs is a peer reviewed research journal produced by the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs (IMMA) as part of its publication programme. Published since 1979, the journalhas firmly established itself as a highly respected and widely acclaimed academic and scholarly publication providing accurate, reliable and objective information. Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs provides a forum for frank but responsible discussion of issues relating to the life of Muslims in non-Muslim societies. The journalhas become increasingly influential as the subject of Muslim minorities has acquired added significance. About 500 million Muslims, fully one third of the world Muslim population of 1.5 billion, live as minorities in 149 countries around the globe. Even as minorities they form significant communities within their countries of residence. What kind of life do they live? What are their social, political and economic problems? How do they perceive their strengths and weakness? What above all, is their future in Islam and in the communities of their residence? The journal explores these and similar questions from the Muslim and international point of view in a serious and responsible manner.
