The Experience of Faith in Slavic Cultures and Literatures in the Context of Postsecular Thought – EBOOK

The book contains reflections on the diversified religious experience expressed in the culture and literature of the Slavic region. We can say that Slavic religious experience is “messy”, but maybe it is better to say this is Slavic experience of modernity that is “messy”. Bearing in mind that ‘Slavic experience’ is only a metaphor – a mental shortcut – we should remember that it is torn between the specificity of the local context and the Western-centric unification.

Reflection on specific features of local religious experiences and examining this phenomenon in the context of global processes enriches knowledge of modernity and its relation to secularization and desecularization. If modernity is defined broadly and universally, then studies on ‘small cultures’ can go beyond the traditional interpretative ‘pattern – copy’ or ‘center – periphery’ models.

Monografia prezentuje studia nad problematyką doświadczenia wiary w wybranych krajach słowiańskich w perspektywie myśli postsekularnej. Przedmiotem refleksji są lokalne praktyki kulturowe, przykłady z literatury, a także naukowe konceptualizacje - w odniesieniu do zjawisk najnowszych, jak i tych dobrze już zbadanych. Panorama ujęć słowiańskich ma na celu ujawnienie zapoznanych, a wcale nie marginalnych tematów i zagadnień, które wymykają się tradycyjnej alternatywie: ateistyczne/ konfesyjne.
