are only accessible to those familiar with its topography. Soul retrieval entails the shaman "journeying" (in an ecstatic, demonstrative or imitative trance state) to find the missing parts and then returning them to the client seeking help. This paper consists of an account of a soul retrieval that was carried out over the internet by the neo-shamanic practitioner Jonathan Horwitz, the founder of the Scandinavaian Centre of Shamanic Studies, to bring my partner Keti out of a coma caused by an aneurism. It has been suggested that “By performing a liturgical order the participants accept, and indicate to themselves and to others that they accept whatever is encoded in the canon of that order” (Rappaport, 1999, p.119) provided, of course, they are not acting. It will be argued, however, that as the ritual in this case took place while the patient was in a coma, neither acceptance nor belief is necessarily required on the part of the patient in order for the process to be effective, and that what is required is actually something else. Wed 16 th , 11.20, Classroom 4 Albero Bernabè, Complutense University of Madrid, Spain Novedades sobre el Papiro de Derveni El papiro de Derveni fue descubierto en 1962 en Derveni, cerca de Salónica, y publicado oficialmente en 2006. Datado en el s. IV a. C. es conocido sobre todo porque contiene un comentario filosófico de algunos versos atribuidos a Orfeo. Pero en las columnas I-VI el autor no comenta el texto, sino se refiere a ritos religiosos celebrados por magos en honor de las Erinis, que son también objeto de su comentario e interpretación, y le llevan a disertar sobre los terrores del Hades, el papel de la justicia, y el significado de los ritos. Después de la edición oficial, Janko (ZPE 166, 2008, 37-51) ha modificado la disposición de algunos fragmentos utilizados para reconstruir las primeras columnas, lo que ha dado lugar a un texto muy diferente. Sobre él han trabajado luego Tsantsanoglou (en prensa) y Bernabé (en prensa). El nuevo texto permite conocer mejor el ritual órfico descrito y las opiniones del comentarista sobre las Erinis/Euménides y sobre los démones. Sus ideas se encuadran en una tradición interpretativa que se extiende desde Hesíodo hasta época romana.

Il suo interesse sta nel fatto di presentare caratteri sistemici ante litteram, che forniscono input per un'impostazione scientifica della problematica, cara al Maestro, della scelta di una data religione come paradigma comparativo.

Jaco Beyers, University of Pretoria, South Africa What is Religion? An African Understanding Western thought has influenced the way of understanding religion. Western philosophy supported the separation between the sacred and profane. Modernism focusing on the thinking man, reduced religion to a set of correctly formulated dogmas and doctrines. Western thought, dominated by Christianity, created through a theology of religions a hierarchical structure of world religions. This study is not an attempt to add a new definition of what religion is. There is no single theoretical perspective on what religion is. The study of religion is concerned with a variety of different phenomena all grouped together under the heading of religion. Religion is not the sum of all its parts, neither the reduction to one element. Such functional and substantial definitions have proved to be insufficient. Some scholars have even suggested that the term religion be abandoned. Can an African understanding of religion make a contribution to the understanding of what religion is? Such a question requires an African understanding of religion as well as an understanding of African religion. Religion from an African perspective puts emphasis on the human effort to systematize in society the continuation of a central religious experience. Tradition expressed in rituals and ethics, become the social expressions of these religious experiences. The moment when the concept of religion is fixed in African society, there is no separation between transcendental and immanent reality. The social and religious spheres become one. African scholars do not present one unified understanding of religion. Some scholars would even argue that an African understanding is nothing more than an internalized form of Western perspectives. To characterize Traditional African Religion as a type of religion minimizes the contribution that an African understanding can have on religion. Perhaps for some, African thought does not present any new insights into what religion is, but it reminds us of important aspects of religion long been forgotten. 53 Tue 15 th , 16.00, Classroom 13 Cristofer Bochinger, University of Bayreuth, Bavaria - Katharina Frank, University of Zürich, Switzerland Religion and Values in German Speaking Textbooks Religious Education is very often expected to convey to the pupils not only knowledge about “religion” or “religions”, but also ethical norms and values. In this paper, we will analyse how “values” are transmitted in different textbooks. The paper starts from two observations: First, teachers tend to rely much more on textbooks than on syllabuses and curricula (which they often do not even know) while preparing their classes. Second, it can be stated that they often use textbooks from different origins (e.g. Suisse or German, confessional or non-confessional), even when they are supplied with official teaching material by their respective school authorities (e.g. in the Suisse cantons). Therefore, it is an important question, how the relation between “religion” and “values” is presented in the textbooks. In our paper, we will compare textbooks dedicated to different models of religious education or religion education (confessional and non-confessional): Which kinds of “values” are regarded as important for the pupils? Are there typical differences related to the different models of education? What can be concluded for the composition of textbooks for non-confessional religion education?
