Tra etica e cura della terra – giornata della cura

Sabato 29 giugno – Tra etica e cura della terra

Giornata della cura organizzata dall'Unione Induisti Italiani presso l'ashram di Altare, Savona.
La cura si pone come fil rouge in grado di unire ambiti apparentemente molto distanti tra loro, ma in verità compenetrati e complementari gli uni agli altri, quali l’antica disciplina dello yoga, le scienze mediche, l’osservazione e la protezione dell’ambiente e della natura nel suo complesso.

 

“Noi rispecchiamo il mondo. Se potessimo cambiare noi stessi, cambierebbero anche le tendenze nel mondo.”

Mahatma Gandhi, World Tomorrow, 1926

Un cristianesimo senza Gesù

 

La deriva dei simboli religiosi utilizzati a fini politici

Dovremmo sentirci tutti in buone mani dopo che sabato scorso a Milano la destra sovranista europea ha affidato il continente alla protezione dei suoi sei santi patroni – in quanto protestante spero mi esimerete dal ricordarli tutti – e l’Italia addirittura al cuore immacolato di Maria.

Corso online "Religion and Conflict"

Religion and Conflict

Understand and analyse the role of religion in conflicts and peacebuilding in present-day societies, with this free online course.

  • DURATION: 6 weeks (from 8th october 2018)
  • WEEKLY STUDY: 4 hours
  • LEARN: Free
  • UPGRADE: €39

Many conflicts in the world today are framed in terms of religion, but there is much discussion and confusion concerning the precise role religion plays in these conflicts. According to some, conflict and violence are inherent to religion. Others claim that religion is only the guise under which social, economic or political conflicts are fought out. The first step to solving religiously framed conflicts is understanding the role of religion in them, and that is what this free online course is about.

Our point of departure is that religion means different things in different circumstances and to different (groups of) people. Therefore, the aim of this course is to show how a religiously framed conflict can be studied in the wider cultural and political contexts of these conflicts. In the course material, we will refer to various religious, cultural and political settings. In addition, we invite you to engage in some modest research activities in your own environment and compare your own findings with those of fellow students.

In the first two weeks, we will discuss how the concepts of religion, conflict and violence have been understood historically and cross-culturally, and address the question of how they are linked. This will enable you to move beyond thinking about religion as either an unavoidable cause for conflicts or merely an excuse to mask more mundane conflicts of interest.

The third week focuses on the question of why religious conflicts have appeared to increase in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. During the fourth week, we will analyze case studies like conflicts over abortion policies in the United States and the rise of IS in the Middle East. In week five, we will shift our attention to the role of religion in peace building and reconciliation.

The course concludes with an assignment in which you will apply your newly acquired analytical tools to write a briefing paper on the role of religion in a specific conflict situation of your own choice.

After completing this course, you will have acquired the knowledge and analytical skills to develop critical insights into one of the most urgent issues of today’s world: the various roles of religion in conflicts.

What topics will you cover?

  • Definitions and history of religion and conflict.
  • Links between religion and conflict.
  • Failure of nation states, the Cold War and globalisation.
  • Cases on religion and conflict.
  • Religion and peacebuilding.
