Working Paper #7

The KFG's Working Paper #7: Modes of Religionization: A Constructivist Approach to Secularity by Markus Dreßler has been published. The paper discusses four concepts: religionization, religio-secularization, religio-secularism, and religion-making. These concepts are proposed as heuristic devices for the analysis of the processes through which social networks, practices, and discourses come to be understood as ‘religious’ or ‘religion.’
