2 Pink Shirt? Belief Ritual Text Culture Gender 7. pinktshirtday.ca 6 Today Finish: Culture 1. Clifford Geertz 2. Popular religion vs. hybridity 1. General overview 2. Specific theories Culture! 7 8
3 Culture: Review What is culture? Everything! What do we study (when we study culture)? Everything! Religions change over time, culture, etc. Three Christianities; Muslim bride in Bulgaria Culture Probably non-useful theories for assignment: Culture is what people do (Hall) Each group has its own culture (Tylor) Religion can also create divisions (Nye) Religion as social glue (Durkheim) 9 10 Culture Possibly useful theories for assignment: Sub-cultures and resistance (Hebdige) : popular vs. elite (Williams/Hall) Change/hybridity/syncretism (various) Religion = society (Durkheim) Religion = symbols, factuality, etc. (Geertz) 11 12
4 Clifford Geertz: Religion is a system of symbols, which acts to establish powerful, pervasive, and long lasting moods and motivations in men [people] by formulating conceptions of a general order of existence and clothing those conceptions with such an aura of factuality that the moods and motivations seem uniquely realistic. (Nye p. 47) Man: And Scotty beamed them to the Klingon ship, where they would be no tribble at all. Everyone: All power to the engines Reservoir Dogs (1992) Bhagavad Gita naturalistic anecdote it s the details that sell your story 15 16
5 Jesus: And these signs will accompany those who believe: by using my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes in their hands, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them. (Mark 16:17-18) Syncretism/Hybridity Your field research: which elements seem traditional and which seem Canadian? What might this mean? Examples of possible Canadian cultural elements? Use your judgement, make a reasonable case why something might not be traditional to the religion 19 Popular Religion Steven Sutcliffe (Nye p ) Popular culture Music, videos, technology, etc. Different from elite culture In what ways is this religion open to change? In what ways is it not open to change? Note: Popular religion is NOT the same as cultural/religious hybridity 20

7 1. General Overview 2. Theories: Concern with social justice; work towards greater equity Marx, Gramsci, Althusser, Foucault : social, political, economic relations exist in all human communities and institutions Including religion! (No special treatment by scholars) Field Research Analysis: 1. relations WITHIN a religion (always apparent) 2. relations BETWEEN religion and larger society (sometimes apparent) relations are complex is not inherently bad Create, sustain power Subvert, resist power People / institutions with power in some contexts may NOT have power in others RLG101H? 27 28
8 Not so useful theories for assignment: Althusser: interpellation (66-67) Weber: economics (69-70) Possibly useful theories for assignment: Marx: religion as ideology (58-60) Gramsci: hegemony and counter-hegemony (60-65) Althusser: repressive and ideological state apparatuses (65-66) Foucault: panopticon (71-73) and power, knowledge, discourse (74-76) Marx Ideology: makes the rule by one group over another appear natural and unquestionable (p. 59) as natural / obvious Examples? Markers: e.g., spaces, buildings, clothing, titles, age, gender, etc. Theories of ideology: critique/expose it 31 32

10 Song! Everything is Everything by Lauryn Hill (1998) 37 Everything is Everything I wrote these words for everyone Who struggles in their youth Who won t accept deception Instead of what is truth It seems we lose the game, Before we even start to play Who made these rules? We re so confused Easily led astray Everything is Everything And the ones on top, won t make it stop So convinced that they might fall Now hear this mixture Where hip hop meets scripture Develop a negative into a positive picture

12 Marx Marx and Engels, On Religion Religion CAN be an ideology (p. 59) Leads us to accept (unjust) system: 1. Comfort / illusion 2. Teachings Need to critique / remove religion before we can change the unjust system 1. Comfort / Illusion Religion as opium / imaginary flowers Comforts us, masks suffering Reward after death (vs. conditions of life) Religion as opiate of the people 2. Teachings Support the (unjust) system New Testament (Christianity): Turn the other cheek (Matthew 5:39) Let every person be subject to the governing authorities; for there is no authority except from God and those authorities that exist have been instituted by God. (Romans 13:1) 47 48
13 Not Marx Religion: may oppose the (unjust) system (not Marx s view!) Christianity: Martin Luther King (USA) Desmond Tutu (South Africa) Stan McKay (Canada) 49 50
