120 Moreover my aim was to show different background and different level of religious consciousness of the members of the messianic communities. And I also tried to find any account for spreading of the messianic Judaism particularly in Russia. In conclusion I would like to note I concern Russian messianic communities as a consequence of the changes have happened not only in Russian but also in European culture and society. Dalibor Papoušek, University of Brno, Czech Republic The Centrality of Jerusalem in the Earliest Christianity Florence Pasche Guignard, University of Lausanne, Switzerland Wed 16 th , 9.20, Classroom 4 Wed 16 th , 11.00, Classroom Aula Magna A contrastive comparison of imitation, cross-dressing and identity in ritual and poetic contexts This research explores the links between identity, imitation and cross dressing in Euripides’Bacchae and Aristophanes’Themophoriazusae, in the persepctive of the study of religions. These Greek examples will be compared with Indian practices of cross dressing in imitation of a female mythological model (gopis loving the god Krishna). In many traditions, humans strive to imitate a divine or mythological model. Imitation is a way to attain the perfection exemplified by this model. Paradigmatic figures and roles can be multiple within a same tradition, and imitation can be understood in various ways (literal, thus physical and external, or internal and symbolic). Cross-gender travesty with clothing, ornaments and accessories means that this ritual or devotional imitation is physically visible. Such imitation leads to the taking on of a new religious identity, which can cause some problems. Incongruity with the socio-cultural context can be great in the case of men imitating female exemplary models. Changing physical appearance from male to female can also be used to conceal one’s real identity in order to participate in disguise to an all-female ritual. In the case of poetic composition, taking the physical garb of women can help the male poet to access a female religious identity deemed naturally closer to the god(s) and to compose in a “female voice”. Contrastive comparison is used as a methodological tool to emphasize the particularities of cross-gender imitation in both contexts, Greek and Indian. Marco Pasi, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands Wed 16 th , 9.20, Classroom Aula Magna La presenza della Società Teosofica e della Società Antroposofica in Italia La Società Teosofica e la Società Antroposofica rappresentano due tra le più importanti e ramificate organizzazioni internazionali ispirate a principi di tipo esoterico. Com’è noto, la prima venne fondata nel 1875 negli Stati Uniti da un gruppo di persone interessate in vario modo ai fenomeni dello spiritismo e del paranormale. Ben presto la Società, grazie soprattutto all’opera della sua fondatrice H.P. Blavatsky, divenne il motore di un movimento culturale e spirituale di grande successo, destinato a dare una profonda scossa al panorama religioso di fine Ottocento. La Società Antroposofica venne creata invece da Rudolf Steiner nel 1912, dopo che egli aveva diretto per qualche anno la sezione tedesca della Società Teosofica. Entrambi i movimenti ebbero un forte impatto in Italia nel periodo che va dagli anni Novanta dell’Ottocento agli anni Venti del Novecento, e ebbero un’influenza significativa su molti
121 personaggi in vista del mondo intellettuale, politico e artistico. Questo impatto fu ovviamente colorato dal particolare clima culturale e politico italiano, che impresse a questi movimenti uno sviluppo particolare. L’avvento del fascismo soprattutto portò a una polarizzazione tra fazioni più o meno favorevoli al regime. Dal suo canto, il regime mise obiettivamente un freno allo sviluppo delle due organizzazioni, e adottò in certi casi misure repressive nei loro confronti. L’internazionalismo di entrambe, come quello del resto della massoneria, non poteva che scontrarsi con la retorica nazionalista del regime.La relazione presenterà sommariamente le linee di sviluppo che i due movimenti conobbero in Italia sino alla Seconda guerra mondiale, soffermandosi su alcune figure particolarmente rappresentative. Rachela Permenter, Slippery Rock University, PA, USA The Persistence of the White Man’s Indian and the Ungraspable Religious Fact Tue 15 th , 9.00, Classroom 5 The pitfalls of appropriation, objectification, and interpretive error are clear to most contemporary scholars who study non-Western religions. Yet it remains that even the best intentioned white scholarship can confuse as much as it uncovers about Native American religious experience. Through literary and narrative analysis, this paper will explore religious encounters between American Indians and Euro-Americans in early America, as well as the contemporary phenomenon of Euro-Americans embracing their constructed images of Native American spirituality. In doing so, the paper will consider the question of how to let the “oral” religiosity of indigenous Americans speak through the Anglo-European written word, as it examines the issues of otherness and comparative approaches to Native American studies. Bodil Liljefors Persson, Malmö University, Sweden Wed 16 th , 17.40, Classroom 11 Romanticism, Colonialism and Images of Indigenous Religions. A Study of Representations of American Indian Religions in Swedish Textbooks In this paper the notion of Religion will be discussed on the basis of how Native American Religions, and other Indigenous Religions as well, is represented in the Swedish textbooks in Religious Education. This will also be related to the National Curricula and syllabuses in Religious Education. What do these documents focus on regarding the content and goals for Religious Education? Which aspects of religion, which images do the representations in the textbooks focus upon and which aspects are not being represented? Whose voices are heard and which narratives are told about the Amerindian Religions? Aided by a contextual approach and critical close readings as well as analysis of the photos and images in the textbooks, this paper aims at also discussing questions of selection of knowledge and of didactic consideration regarding exoticism, ethnocentrism and eurocentrism in the Swedish Textbooks.
