【Course Objectives】

As in the spring semester, we will discuss how religion influences politics in global society. Since the 2010s, exclusive nationalism has been on the rise in all parts of the world, mainly among people who have been exhausted by globalization. Religion is the root of such nationalism. However, this religion is not a traditional religion consisting of a doctrine, a founder, and a cult. Rather, they are the source of a particular ethnic identity. For example, Europe's far-right parties that advocate Judeo-Christian values, Russian Orthodoxy for President Putin, Christian evangelicalism for former President Trump, Hindu supremacy for Prime Minister Modi, and conservative Islamism for President Erdogan. Furthermore, even in Japan, where most people pride themselves on being "non-religious", in recent years there have been a number of groups that support the traditional Shinto worldview and have developed conservative political movements. In this seminar, we will clarify the new state of religion and politics in global society by reading a variety of papers.

【Course Contents】

In this seminar, participants will select papers close to their own research interests, prepare an abstract, and present it. The goal is to deepen the understanding of the relationship between religion and politics. At the same time, they will acquire the ability to read literature accurately and to conduct research necessary to write their own papers. In particular, students, in the fall semester, we will choose a case study of religion in a consumerist society based on our respective interests, and analyse and present it.
