For nearly thirty years, a scientific revolution has taken place in the religious studies departments of several North American and British universities--and the results are considerable, obliging us to envisage new ways of conceiving of this academic field. While the History of Religions tended to rest in the shade and guardianship of past authorities, this critical current has re-examined the discipline's a priori positions, its favourite arguments, its long prehistory within Euro/Christian culture, but also its numerous ethnocentric prejudices. The first part of the volume considers anew the origins and Christian history of the notion of religion. This starting point then allows us to identify dead ends and contradictions within the traditional History of Religions approach. The second part is dedicated to the synthetic presentation of the concepts, methods, and controversies, which distinguish this current. Following this are two related contributions devoted to two major case studies: "Colonialism and Cultural Imperialism" and "The Invention of Hinduism and Shintoism". Finally, in the third and last part of the book, this trend itself is critically examined. The author identifies some of the paradoxes, gaps, and aporias that this approach has already gathered during its short existence.

L'histoire des religions est une discipline au croisement de plusieurs champs, distincte de la théologie et de l'histoire religieuse. Elle appartient en propre à l'univers de la pensée occidentale. Et à ce titre, elle est profondément influencée par le christianisme. Ce sont justement les origines et l'histoire chrétiennes de la notion de religion que démontre dans un premier temps cet ouvrage. Les impasses et les contradictions majeures auxquelles sont confrontées les approches traditionnelles de l'histoire des religions sont alors mises au jour. Daniel Dubuisson poursuit son parcours critique en introduisant dans un second temps le récent courant anglo-saxon largement méconnu en France des critical studies of religion. Citons parmi les auteurs étudiés : T. Asad, T. Fitzgerald, R. King, D. Chidester, D. Wiebe, R. T. McCutcheon. Leurs concepts et leurs méthodes, ici présentés, contribuent à déconstruire les arguments pseudoscientifiques circulaires expliquant la religion par la religion (M. Eliade, R. Otto). L'homo religiosus est ici démythifié, lui qui se définissait par son instinct religieux inné et son appartenance à la culture occidentale. Parallèlement, la fonction normative du christianisme à l'égard des autres formes de croyance est dénoncée. La question du pouvoir est ici centrale, l'arme religieuse participant à la " violence épistémique " propre au colonialisme. Daniel Dubuisson ouvre avec cet essai de stimulantes nouvelles perspectives.

Comment un fils de charpentier, nommé Jésus, a-t-il un jour quitté l'atelier pour annoncer " la venue imminente du Règne de Dieu " ? Comment plusieurs de ses auditeurs ont-ils pu voir sur le visage de cet homme crucifié les traits du Messie ? Par quelles voies cette reconnaissance a-t-elle pris corps pour s'imposer, après trois siècles, comme religion d'Empire ? Quels processus ont donc permis l'émergence et la réussite du christianisme ? Pour les historiens comme pour les exégètes, il semble acquis que, depuis le départ, Jésus était Christ, et que le christianisme était une religion. Or il faut se rendre à l'évidence : Jésus est devenu Christ, et le christianisme est devenu religion. L'histoire des origines chrétiennes, toujours écrite à rebours, nécessite d'être entièrement revisitée. En mettant au jour les médiations internes qui ont présidé à la formation du mouvement chrétien et à ses métamorphoses, cette nouvelle histoire donne de la genèse du christianisme une explication qui remet en question notre notion même de religion. Après avoir enseigné les langues patristiques à la Faculté de théologie catholique, Maurice Sachot enseigne les sciences de l'éducation à l'université des sciences humaines de Strasbourg.

Throughout its long history, Japan had no concept of what we call “religion.” There was no corresponding Japanese word, nor anything close to its meaning. But when American warships appeared off the coast of Japan in 1853 and forced the Japanese government to sign treaties demanding, among other things, freedom of religion, the country had to contend with this Western idea. In this book, Jason Ananda Josephson reveals how Japanese officials invented religion in Japan and traces the sweeping intellectual, legal, and cultural changes that followed. More than a tale of oppression or hegemony, Josephson’s account demonstrates that the process of articulating religion offered the Japanese state a valuable opportunity. In addition to carving out space for belief in Christianity and certain forms of Buddhism, Japanese officials excluded Shinto from the category. Instead, they enshrined it as a national ideology while relegating the popular practices of indigenous shamans and female mediums to the category of “superstitions”—and thus beyond the sphere of tolerance. Josephson argues that the invention of religion in Japan was a politically charged, boundary-drawing exercise that not only extensively reclassified the inherited materials of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Shinto to lasting effect, but also reshaped, in subtle but significant ways, our own formulation of the concept of religion today. This ambitious and wide-ranging book contributes an important perspective to broader debates on the nature of religion, the secular, science, and superstition.

Dieu, Kyrios, Deus, Notre Père, Iahvé, Elohim, Adonaï, Jésus ou Allah ont indéniablement un « air de famille ». Cela ne veut pas dire qu’on puisse les traduire les uns dans les autres sans précaution ni qu’ils soient identiques comme le laissent entendre un peu vite ceux qui prônent la notion de « religions abrahamiques ». Il n’en demeure pas moins que ces trois religions se réfèrent à des Révélations. Elles nous recommandent de croire que Dieu s’est révélé lui-même, de diverses manières selon qu’on soit juif, chrétien ou musulman. Philippe Borgeaud insiste sur un point névralgique : pour l’historien ou l’anthropologue, l’islam, le christianisme, le judaïsme, le bouddhisme, l’animisme ou l’hindouisme n’existent pas en tant que tels, pas plus que les dieux auxquels on les associe. Il n’y a de religion que dans les paroles, les sentiments et les actes de ceux qui s’en proclament les acteurs ou les adversaires. Pour saisir cette divergence fondamentale, entre le sens commun et l’observation des sciences humaines, comparer les croyances entre elles est indispensable. Tout en interrogeant notre présent, posant la question de savoir si on peut encore « afficher de l’incroyance », Borgeaud analyse les systèmes de pensée religieuse. Dans ce livre, il nous propose de repenser les mythes et les récits fondateurs qui ont contribué à transformer des pratiques et des croyances ancestrales en « religions » modernes.

After a century during which Confucianism was viewed by academics as a relic of the imperial past or, at best, a philosophical resource, its striking comeback in Chinese society today raises a number of questions about the role that this ancient tradition--re-appropriated, reinvented, and sometimes instrumentalized--might play in a contemporary context. The Sage and the People, originally published in French, is the first comprehensive enquiry into the "Confucian revival" that began in China during the 2000s. It explores its various dimensions in fields as diverse as education, self-cultivation, religion, ritual, and politics. Resulting from a research project that the two authors launched together in 2004, the book is based on the extensive anthropological fieldwork they carried out in various parts of China over the next eight years. Sébastien Billioud and Joël Thoraval suspected, despite the prevailing academic consensus, that fragments of the Confucian tradition would sooner or later be re-appropriated within Chinese society and they decided to their hypothesis. The reality greatly exceeded their initial expectations, as the later years of their project saw the rapid development of what is now called the "Confucian revival" or "Confucian renaissance". Using a cross-disciplinary approach that links the fields of sociology, anthropology, and history, this book unveils the complexity of the "Confucian Revival" and the relations between the different actors involved, in addition to shedding light on likely future developments.
