DATES: 2018-2019

SECRETARY OF THE SEMINAR: Kirill Markin

PROJECT: “The Invisible Religion” by T. Lukman: the origins of the concept and the possibility of using it for the analysis of contemporary Russian Orthodoxy

ABOUT THE SEMINAR

The thematic core of the seminar will be the approach of T. Luckmann, its sources and developments. We assume that Luckmann’s approach is capable of solving both the problems associated with the interpretation the non-practicing Orthodox Christian’s religiosity, and the problems associated with the impossibility of coexistence of religion and modern society, which makes applying it to the analysis of modern Russian Orthodox Christianity potentially fruitful. The results of the seminar should be the selected categories and hypotheses for constructing a theoretical sample and coding in-depth interviews
