Contemporary Western Ethnography and the Definition of Religion
Martin D. Stringer
Continuum Publishing Corporation
2011
nidottu
Exploring whether the widespread activity of sitting next to a grave and talking to a deceased person is a religious act forms the basis of this book, and the author argues that it is probably much more typical of a fundamental religious act than much of what happens in churches, synagogues or mosques. Beginning with the definitions of religion provided by a number of anthropologists and sociologists this book claims that the large majority of these definitions have been influenced by Christian thinking, so leading to definitions that stress the systematic nature of religion, the importance of the transcendental and the transformative activity of religion. Through a detailed exploration of a number of ethnographic studies of religious activity, these aspects of traditional definitions are challenged. Borrowing Durkheim's language, Martin D. Stringer argues that the most elementary form of religious life in many Western societies today, and by implication in many other societies around the world, is situational, mundane and concerned with helping people to cope with their day-to-day lives.
Religious diversity is an ever present, and increasingly visible, reality in cities across the world. It is an issue of immediate concern to city leaders and members of religious communities but do we really know what ordinary members of the public, the people who live in the city, really think about it? Major news items, inter-religious violence and notorious public events often lead to negative views being expressed, especially among those who would not consider themselves to have a religious identity of their own. Martin Stringer explores the highly complex series of discourses around religion and religious diversity that are held by ordinary members of the city; discourses that are often contradictory in themselves and discourses that show that attitudes to religion vary considerably depending on context and wider local or national narratives. Drawing on examples from UK (particularly Birmingham, one of the UK's most diverse cities), Europe and the United States, Stringer offers some practical suggestions for ways in which discourses of religious diversity can be managed in the future. Students in the fields of religious studies, sociology, anthropology and urban studies; practitioners involved in inter-religious debates; and church and other faith leaders and politicians should all find this book an invaluable addition to ongoing debates.

Through its study of diabetes care in twentieth-century Britain, Managing diabetes, managing medicine offers the first historical monograph to explore how the decision-making and labour of medical professionals became subject to bureaucratic regulation and managerial oversight. Where much existing literature has cast health care management as either a political imposition or an assertion of medical control, this work positions managerial medicine as a co-constructed venture. Although driven by different motives, doctors, nurses, professional bodies, government agencies and international organisations were all integral to the creation of managerial systems, working within a context of considerable professional, political, technological, economic and cultural change.An electronic edition of this book is freely available under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-ND) licence.

Being Fat is not OK: How to get the right mindset to finally lose weight and change your life

The ultimate book to permanently lose weight and change your life. It's not about diets or exercise, it's the mindset that counts There are a million books about losing weight. Why choose this one? Essentially, because those books focus on the wrong thing, they show you a diet regime, or an exercise routine, which is not bad in itself, but they never focus on the person who actually has to diet or workout: you. "Being Fat is not OK" has a completely different premise. It makes you understand your own motivations and take charge of your life. In the end, it doesn't matter which diet plan you start or which exercise routine you follow as long as they are sensible choices, what really counts is your preparation and willingness to make a sustain an extended effort and have enough discipline to start and keep on going until you are satisfied with your body. No more excuses. No more "I like myself the way I am", even if you know you don't. No more "I don't have time". No more "My head hurts". The time is now. This is your life and your future is not far away. Do you want to keep on suffering when you see yourself in the mirror? Do you want to die younger and leave your loved ones when they most need you? This book will help you get out of your comfort zone and finally start changing. Why should I read this book? Because society has fooled us into thinking that we should aspire to look like Hollywood stars and, at the same time, to accept our bodies the way they are, even if we know we're not happy with it. This book shows you how to get out of that double-edged sword. Because you have tried dieting and working out so many times and you still wonder why you fail. You will learn the proper mindset to succeed. Because you know you can do better. You know you van become a better version of yourself. You just don't know how to start. And finally, because it doesn't advertise any miracle diets or magic exercise regimes. It doesn't try to sell you anything other than knowledge. What's better than hearing advice from someone who talks from the heart? This book is an agile but in-depth explanation of how to get the right mindset to start a lasting and effective weight-loss program and it shows the way to acquire the discipline and self confidence to finish what we started.
