Configurations of Values
No full textCentral to public debates about commonalities and differences between citizens of different religious and cultural backgrounds is the compatibility of cultural values and the norms through which these values are actualized. Values, and changes in value systems, are the central theme in Chapter 14 of this volume, in which Peter Berger discusses a specific strand of structural anthropology that he emphasizes can be useful in the analysis of both empirical and historical data: the theory of value as developed by Louis Dumont, which has its roots in Durkheim’s sociology of religion. Berger begins by contextualizing Dumont’s theory in the history of the discipline of anthropology by outlining the main features of Dumont’s analytical framework and how it has been developed by Joel Robbins. He sketches how Dumont, informed by his Indological and anthropological research on the Hindu caste system, developed a general theory of hierarchy, the latter being just the other side of the coin of value (as posing a value introduces hierarchy). While Lévi-Strauss was mainly concerned with binary oppositions in cultural structures, Dumont argued that relationships between ideas are hierarchical. Left and right, for instance, are not simply opposites but stand in a hierarchical relation. When taking an oath or shaking hands after making an agreement, only the right hand is appropriate because it stands for the whole person. Dumont discussed the various properties of value and added the concepts of “context” and “level” in order to account for a dynamic relationship between ideas and values within a certain framework he called ideology. Joel Robbins further developed the dynamic potential in Dumont’s theory in explaining processes of change and globalization. In line with Mason’s argument that the label of “religion” as a universal cultural category often obfuscates more than it illuminates outside the Western world, the author demonstrates that the theory of value as developed by Dumont and Robbins provides an important perspective from which to study religion, precisely because it does not depend on “religion” as a privileged analytical concept or domain

Secularization of Peter Berger
No full textTato práce popisuje především sekularizační teorii (v nejširším slova smyslu) jednoho z jejích předních představitelů - Petera Bergera. Představuji jeho pojetí náboženství a také výchozí obecnější paradigma, které zastává. To je totiž zásadní pro pochopení i samotné sekularizační teorie.
Jelikož Peter Berger svůj názor na sekularizaci změnil, popisuji i tuto změnu, která je jím vyjádřena v teorii desekularizace. K oběma teoriím se pojí pluralismus a globalismus, které také přibližuji v kontextu díla Petera Bergera.Katedra sociologieObhájenoThis work describes mainly the secularization theory (in the wide sense of meaning) of one of its former representative - Peter Berger. I talk about his conception of religion and base paradigm he holds, because these things are key aspect for understanding his secularization theory.
Peter Berger changed his position towards the secularization theory; I also foreshadowed this change, which is embodied in the desecularization theory. To both secularization and desecularization theories ale interlinked another concepts ? pluralism and globalism, which I also describe in context of Peter Berger´s piece
Liminal Bodies, Liminal Food:Hindu and Tribal Death Rituals Compared
Full text linkIn the anthropology of India, a curious shift in focus is discernible that coincides more or less with the independence of the county. Before 1947, most anthropologists were concerned with tribal societies; afterwards, when many more professional anthropologists started to do research in India, attention shifted to caste and Hinduism (see Berger 2012). Accordingly, while the ethnographies on caste society have contributed significantly to general anthropological debates, most notably in terms of the themes of social stratification and hierarchy, the anthropology of Indian tribal society has scarcely been recognized in the discipline as a whole

Transition from Secularism to Sacrality in Works of Peter Berger.
No full textBakalaura darba „Pāreja no sekulārisma uz sakralitāti Pītera Bergera darbos” uzmanības centrā ir Pītera Begera (Peter Berger) darbos sniegtais sekulārisma un sakralitātes attiecību skaidrojums. Darba gaitā tiek aplūkots, kā Pīters Bergers savā socioloģiskajā analīzē pāriet no tēzes, ka modernitātes un to pavadošā plurālisma ietekmē indivīdu apziņa un institucionālās struktūras neizbēgami zaudē reliģiskās references sfēru, uz secinājumu, ka šo sfēru un tās funkcijas pārņem ikdienas dzīves aspektu sakralizācija.
Līdzas sekošanai P. Bergera pārdomu gaitai, tiek pievērsta uzmanība arī kontekstam un jau esošām idejām, uz kurām balstās autors, kā arī tām, kas nav tieši saistītas ar P. Bergeru, lai saprastu vai sekularizācijas teorija saglabā savu skaidrojošo potecniālu 21. gadsimtā.Bachelor thesis „Transition from secularism to sacrality in works of Peter Berger” deals with the issue of relationships between secularism and sacrality in way that it is layed out in the Peter Berger theoretical approach. This thesis looks at the way how Peter Berger in his sociological analysis switches from statement that modernity and pluralism has shaped consciousness and social institutions in a way that all religious realm of reference has been lost to a conclusion that this realm previously held by religion is now being occupied by sacralization of aspects of every day life and subjectivity..
Beisdes of the inquiry of particular works of Peter Berger, attention will be payed to context and already existing ideas that has influenced him or was influenced by him as well as those without relation to Peter Berger in order to find out whether or how secularization theory can be viewed as valid in 21th century

Peter L. Berger, Invitation à la sociologie
No full textChristine Merllié-Young et Domique Merllié proposent une nouvelle édition, avec une traduction revue du célèbre livre de Peter Berger, huit ans après la précédente. Le changement le plus notable est une longue introduction en dix points écrite par Dominique Merllié.
