Focus on…. this time dedicated to Religion (with the first book dealing with Economy, the second - Environment, and the third - Migration). This volume is a result of an academic partnership between the University of Warsaw (Brazilian Studies Research Group of the American Studies Center) and the State University of Maringá in Brazil. The phenomenon of religion, though extremely difficult to study due to its otherworldly and unexplainable dimensions, which, up till now, have made it impossible even to come up with its universally accepted definition, is of utmost importance for scientific research in many fields and disciplines. It is not just because religion is nowadays thriving all over the world, succeeding in harness- ing the tools of modernity that were supposed to destroy it and using them to propagate its own message, but also because no education is complete unless it has included religion, as it never remains isolated from other aspects of human life. Quite on the contrary - it proliferates into practically all cultural, social, economic, and political sectors, with religious actors and institutions playing an influential role in every region of the world. Religion is, therefore, never con- fined only to individuals and their private life. It is, actually, impossible to be kept out of the public sphere - even if no religion is privileged and the separation of the church and the state is a legal fact, it does not account for all the complexi- ties and intersections in the relationship of religion with other fields of human ac- tivities, constantly challenging our understanding of the world as neatly divided into secular and religious. Religion also migrates with people, constituting one of the very important elements of “cultural baggage” and essential components of human identities. The fact that religion does really matter and it operates in eve- ryday encounters that profoundly shape the way people think and act, suggests that there is, indeed, much potential (and necessity) in its studying – it seems to be critically important for understanding the past, the reality we live in and for helping shape the future. The volume comprises chapters within a wide thematic range of religious studies written by renown and dedicated specialists - invited guests from both countries’ academic world, representing various HEIs and research centers. They 5 Renata Siuda-Ambroziak present, in different styles and flavors, various scopes of research and specific in- terests, of which all have to do with religion, including various forms of religiosi- ties and spiritualities, contributing towards a comprehensive, harmonious, user- friendly and simply interesting collaborative project – a truly team effort. The con- tents of the book mark many relevant, practical issues related with research on reli- gion, in both historical and contemporary perspectives, having to do not only with the current state of art, but also events, policies and individual attitudes that influ- ence religious markets and transformations, pointing at the relations between theo- retical and practical approaches towards examining them in their all multi-angled and complicated dimensions: cultural, social, political, legal and economic. The objective of the book is to promote Polish-Brazilian academic rap- prochement in many different areas and fields of interdisciplinary religious stud- ies, as well as to raise mutual interests and willingness in interinstitutional and interpersonal scientific cooperation between the two countries in order to facili- tate academic dialogue and establish common spheres of scientific interests. Our intention is not only to maintain, but also to extend the existing cooperation, broadening both perspective and number of people involved, actively participat- ing and taking advantage of our projects of contemporary research on religious studies. Therefore, the book itself by no means should be regarded as complete or final result of our common endeavor – there are numerous elements, topics and issues that have been left out and omitted, waiting for their deeper exploration in the future. While we obviously regret such deficiencies, we also believe that they could not be avoided in a preliminary project like this one, constituting just a beginning of much closer and much denser cooperation of a, sui generis, Polish- Brazilian religious studies research team that we have just managed to build. We do hope the volume fully meets it objectives, including showing pro- spective directions and new fields for further networking between Poland and Brazil, facilitating common goals, disseminating expertise and bridging a trans- atlantic gap between the two countries. We would sincerely like this challenging, but also thrilling and inspiring project to be just the first of a series of much more substantial attempts to confront the difficulty of studying religions, to en- courage thinking about it in scientific terms and to ensure that its various percep- tions reflect the multi-faceted nature of religion all over the world. On behalf of the editors, I wish to all a fruitful reading. Renata Siuda-Ambroziak 6 POLISH RELIGIOUS INNOVATIONS Maria Libiszowska-Żółtkowska* From the social perspective, confirmed by the value of statistical indicators, Poland is a Catholic country. Affiliation to the Roman Catholic Church is declared by about 95% of Polish society. This seemingly unquestionable obviousness is contradicted by the followers of 176 registered churches and religious associations (Libiszowska-Żółtkowska, 2001; 2002: 13-32; 2014: 289-300; 2014a: 173-196; Doktór, 1999; Kościoły

  • Buddhism, Diversity and ‘Race’: Multiculturalism and Western Convert Buddhist Movements in East London – a Qualitative Study
    1 Buddhism, Diversity and ‘Race’: Multiculturalism and Western convert Buddhist movements in East London – a qualitative study Thesis submitted by Sharon Elizabeth SMITH Goldsmiths’ College, University of London in partial fulfilment of the requirements for degree of PhD History 2 DECLARATION I hereby declare that the work set out in this thesis for PhD History is entirely my own Sharon Elizabeth SMITH 3 ABSTRACT This study considers the development of convert Buddhism in multicultural environments. Its focus is on the encounters of people of colour (defined for the purposes of this study as people of African, Asian and Caribbean descent) with Western convert Buddhist movements, which tend to be predominantly white and middle-class. The study uses an ethnographic case study approach informed by feminist epistemologies. The case-studies are of two of the largest Western convert Buddhist movements in the UK – the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order (FWBO) and Sōka Gakkai International-UK (SGI-UK) – and focus on their branches in the multicultural inner-city location of East London. The findings suggest that most Buddhists of colour in these movements come from the second generation of the diaspora. For the FWBO, there is an apparently hegemonic discourse of middle-class whiteness that people of colour and working class members of this movement have to negotiate as part of their involvement. In contrast, for SGI-UK, the ethos is one of a moral cosmopolitanism that encourages intercultural dialogue thus facilitating the involvement of a considerably more multicultural and international following. People of colour find that their practices of the techniques of the self provided by each movement enable them to feel more empowered in relation to their quotidian experience of racisms and racialisation, as well as encouraging them in a more anti-essentialist approach to identity that sees it as fluid and contingent.

In a moment when alternatives to neoliberal global capitalism appeared to have disappeared from the world stage, the Zapatista Army for National Liberation (EZLN) initiated a movement and process that would have significance not only in Chiapas and for Mexico, but for many struggles and movements around the world that would come to identify with a kind of “alter-globalization” project.

  • Being Zen-Buddhist in the Land of Catholicism Cristina Moreira Da Rocha
    Revista de Estudos da Religião Nº 1 / 2001 / pp. 57-72 ISSN 1677-1222 Being Zen-Buddhist in the Land of Catholicism Cristina Moreira da Rocha Introduction In this century, the West saw a fast expansion of Buddhism, which until then had been confined to the East. (Dumoulin, 1992: viii) With Buddhism, we see a radically different way of thinking and seeing the world because it is based on the absence of God and in the idea that everybody is his own Buddha. Through the practice of meditation, discipline or devotion (depending on the Buddhist school), anyone may get enlightened and become a Buddha (literally "an enlightened being"). Moreover, for Buddhism men and nature are part of the same whole. Nature was not created to serve men as dictates the Christianity. These elements - the possibility of individual enlightenment, of liberating mind and of union with nature - had a big appeal and opened the doors for Buddhism to arrive and disseminate itself in the West through the most varied schools from the whole Asia. To trace the history of the expansion of Buddhism in the West goes beyond the scope of this paper, but it is important to relate Buddhism with the Counterculture movement that started in 1950s and its development - the New Age movement - because they are also part of the history of how Zen Buddhism evolved in Brazil. The beatnik movement opened the doors for Zen Buddhism in the United States. The beats saw in Zen's plea for unattachment to worldly things the answer to their rebellion against the consumerism of the post World War II.
