100 Attila Kovács, University of Bratislava, Slovakia Visual Representation of Jerusalem and Palestinian Islamic Movements Wed 16 th , 15.20, Classroom 4 Shemsi Krasniqi, University of Prishtina, Kosovo Croyances anciennes et temps modernes. Le cas du Kosovo Les croyances et les pratiques rituelles depuis l’antiquité, aujourd’hui, sont présentes au Kosovo. Leur étude au point de vue d’anthropologie, d’histoire et de sociologie, est très importante, parce qu’il s’agit d’un syncrétisme culturel très particulier. Au Kosovo on trouve plusieurs types de croyances et de pratiques rituelles qui viennent de l’antiquité, mais ici, on parle sur trois types, qui, a mon avis, sont les plus importants: les pèlerinages dans les montagnes, les cultes des arbres et les rites de passages dans la pierre. En général, ces éléments culturels archaïques se déroulent dans un cycle temporel (dans les jours précis ou les fêtes locales) et dans les endroits particuliers. La relation entre la forme extérieure ou l’apparence, d‘un coté, et le sens intérieur ou l’inhérence, de l’autre coté, représente l’idée principale de mon étude. Un autre point de vue est celui du changement socio-culturel dans la société contemporaine du Kosovo. L’influence de la modernité concerne tout d’abord la modification des formes et du contenu des croyances et des pratiques rituelles, et de définir leur sens par rapport au système des valeurs et du style moderne de la vie. Helena Kupari, University of Helsinki, Finland An Evacuee Religion? The Case of the Finnish Orthodox Community Wed 16 th , 15.40, Classroom 14 During the II WW, 2/3 of the Finnish Orthodox population (of 80 000 people) were evacuated from their traditional homelands in Karelia, which had become a battle zone between Finnish and Soviet armies. After the war these lands were indeed assigned to the SU. The Orthodox, along with other Karelian evacuees, were resettled to other parts of Finland. The Finnish Orthodox Church lost 90 % of its infrastructure and embarked on a massive rebuilding project, both material and spiritual. In Finland, for decades after the war, Orthodoxy was linked together with evacuee experience and lost Karelia. My paper traces the 20 th Century history of the Finnish Orthodox community, focusing on the legacy of the evacuation and post-war developments. Issues of ethnicity, gender and generation will receive special attention. The Orthodox evacuees, in many locales, introduced religious plurality to a spiritual landscape dominated by Lutheranism. What challenges did the Orthodox evacuees face 60 years ago? How does the Finnish Orthodox community fare today? Wed 16 th , 15.00, Classroom 12 Doing Religion – Remembering Religion. Social memory in the lived religion of Orthodox Karelian women My paper studies the interrelationship between religious agency and social memory. By focusing on agency as a “temporally embedded process of social engagement” (Emirbayer & Mische), I trace the ways in which social memory – shared interpretations concerning past,
101 present and future – influence the lived religion of ordinary practitioners. As a case example I use my research on the religion of elderly Orthodox Karelian women in Finland. Tue 15 th , 15.20, Classroom 5 Jann Lahe, University of Tallinn, Estonia Gnosticism and Mistery Religions The issue of the religious history of Gnosticism has been a topic of debate in science, and no satisfactory solution has been found to the question to this day. At the appearance of Gnosticism, the effect of various religions, including ancient mystery religions, has been taken into account.Gnosticism has several contact points with many ancient mystery religions. Both Gnosticism and mystery religions are redemption religions, characterised by the idea that redemption is for the chosen ones only. In addition to general similarities, there are also points of contact between Gnosticism and specific mystery religions as well. Thus, the Orphic treatment of people, the soul and its redemption reminds one of the respective approaches in Gnosticism. The descending of the soul through planetary spheres, a teaching acknowledged in the Mithraic cult, finds many parallels in Gnostic writings. The rituals of the Ophite sects, described by Epihpanius (Pan 37,5,6-8), in which the serpent was significant, can be found in the cult of Sabazios. In some Hermetic tractates (CH I, IV and XIII), parallels can also be found with Gnostic images and ideas. The contacts between Gnosticism and mystery religions raise the question whether there is reason to talk about the effect of mystery religions on the appearance of Gnosticism. If the main ideas of Gnosticism are proceeded from (divine element in a person and its entity of unity with a higher deity; distinction between a higher deity and lower, divine creatures who have created the world; specific Gnostic redemption teaching, etc.), certain similarities between Gnosticism and Orphism can be talked about, but the direct effect of Orphism on Gnostic ideas cannot be proved. The teaching of the journey of the soul through different heavenly spheres, found both in Mithraism and Gnosticism, is a topos widely spread in the Late Antiquity and it cannot be proved that the Gnostics have borrowed this idea from Mithraism. On the basis of the comparison of the main ideas of Gnosticism and mystery religions, it can be stated that the position, according to which the roots of Gnosticism lie in mystery religions, is highly unlikely. However, it must be considered that some Gnostic groups (Ophites) have taken examples for the establishment of their rituals from mystery religions and in the case of the so-called Hermetic Gnosticism found in Hermetic tractates, it is a special case – a peculiar synthesis of Gnosticism and the spirituality of mystery religions. If the general similarities between Gnosticism and mystery religions can be explained by the fact that both Gnosticism and mystery religions appeared and spread in the same cultural space – in the Mediterranean area – and they phenomenologically represent one and the same religion type (redemption religions), then Ophites and Hermetic Gnosticism are good examples of how the Gnostics adapted the rites and ideas of the existing religions for their own use.
