In order to investigate in detail, changes in funeral custom in the urban area, I shall analyze the memoirs of a funeral director, and the annals of a funeral company and two associations of funeral directors. In these materials, it is repeatedly stated that funeral activities are a public affair, and that funeral customs ought to become more rational. The new ways of the funeral business, involving advertisements, price lists of funerals, and the corralling of clients, were derived for the purposes of rationalizing funeral business and lowering funeral costs. However, in spite of such aims, a decrease in funeral cost was not achieved, and in fact, what resulted was a rise in the total cost of funerals. Small-scale funeral parlors in local areas developed into nationwide organizations by forming special contracts with a number of other companies. In post-war Japan, the regionally-based funeral association (soushiki-kumi), gave way to the funeral company hired by the bereaved. In this way, the general populace became free from works polluted by death. At the same time, they came to lose the knowledge they had about funerals, and became unable to hold funerals without the funeral company. It was through such a process that the funeral became a private practice.

96年4月から5月にかけ,インドでは第11次連邦下院選挙が行われた。台風の目となったのは,ヒンドゥ・ナショナリズムを掲げて独自のタカ派路線を行くインド人民党(the Bharatiya JanataParty : BJP)であった。彼らは,単独で534中の161議席を獲得,インド国民会議派(the Indian National Congress (I) :コングレス)が独立以来占め続けてきた下院第一党の座を奪い取った上,党外から34議席の支持を得て,ごく短期間であったとはいえ,党内穏健派の頭目ヴァジパイー(A. B. Vajpayee)を首相の座につけることに成功した。しかし,党外の支持議員のさらなる抱き込みに失敗し,下院で過半数の承認を得られないと見越したヴァジパイー首相は,数日にわたる国会での激論の後,信任投票の直前に自ら身を引いた(5月16日就任,5月28日内閣総辞職)。日本のジャーナリズムはしばしばBJPを「ヒンドゥ至上主義政党」と形容してきた。そこでは,排他的で狂信的な宗教政党としてのBJPのイメージばかりが強調されるため,インドの政治動向に対する読者の不安感・不信感は相当に(ときには極端なまでに)あおり立てられたことだろう。本稿は,第一に, BJPの歴史的背景やインド国民がこの党に寄せる支持の内容を検討することで,「ヒンドゥ至上主義政党」というBJPイメージの極端なステレオ・タイプに修正が施されるべきこと,そして<必ずしも過激ではない現実的な民主議会主義政党>としての側面にも十分な注意が払われるべきことを指摘する。このことと関連して,第二に,世界各地で昨今いよいよ激しく燃えあがりつつある<エスニック・アイデンティティの復活と政治化>とでも呼ぶべき一連の現象との関連につき,理論研究の視覚から, BJPとその兄弟組織内部のダイナミズムをごく簡単に論じる。

Every people tries to survive, but the Jewish people in particular has struggled to survive. One characteristic of the Jewish people is that they not only try to survive, but also take account of such struggle in order to keep their Jewish identity. This was the destiny of Jewish people since they established a covenant with God to live as a chosen people and made it their mission to realize God’s will on earth. However, their behavior toward Gentiles put their own beliefs before all else and rejected compromises with the majorities into which they would assimilate, often leading to conflicts with their host societies. At the worst, they were massacred and almost exterminated. There were many crises that Jewish people faced, such as religious conflicts, economic conflicts, political conflicts, racial conflicts, cultural conflicts and environmental changes. This paper is an attempt to show Jewish survival strategies by surveying their strategies for survival that appeared in their scriptures, especially in the Hebrew Bible. Henceforth, I intend to expand into cases of failure to show the whole picture. The results of this investigation will offer tactics for survival for peoples who may possibly face conditions similar to those confronted by the Jewish people.

Spanish mysticism constitutes an indispensable chapter in the history of Christian mysticism. Two 16th century Carmelite mystics, Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross, are its most eminent representatives. However before they came to gain such high esteem there were historical stages in which their mystical teachings and writings were authorized and incorporated into early modern Catholic orthodoxy. In the first section of this article I briefly epitomize these ical stages in the formation process of the Carmelite school of "mystical theology", which was concluded with its complete scholastization in the 18th century. In the following two sections I analyze fundamental characteristics of the early modern Catholic mystical theology by introducing two Carmelite theologians from first half of the 17th century: Juan de Jesús María (Calagurritano) and Tomás de Jesús. The former's Theologia Mystica is a typical work that delineates clearly the nature and the objective of "mystical theology" as an independent division of Christian theology. Juan de Jesús María is also regarded as a representative figure of the "mystical theologian", i.e. a eologian who is a eoretical specialist in mystical theology but who himself is not a mystic (Section 2). It was by the theologians of this kind that early modern Catholic mystical theology was constructed. Tomás de Jesús, a contemporary of Juan de Jesús María, is known for having introduced the notion of contemplatio acqusita (acquired contemplation) which is distinguished from contemplatio infusa (infused contemplation). His idea has caused controversies about its nature and existence, which lasted until the 20th century. Beneath the idea of this problematic notion one can find, in my view, his intention to make contemplation, a higher way of mental prayer, "practicable" for ordinary monks and nuns, and further to "administrate" the religious life of prayer in the Carmelite order (Section3). The endeavor of these "mystical theologians" achieved ambivalent results. It succeeded in authorizing the paradoxical, and sometimes "dangerous" teachings of such mystics as Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross within Catholic orthodoxy. But at the same time it might have concealed, or even obliterated the properly "mystical" moment of their writings which attracts universal interest outside the Catholic church.論文/Articles

The Church of World Messianity (Sekai Kyusei Kyo), a Japanese new religion, has propagated in Brazil since 1956. The religion claims that it has 250,000 followers and 95 percent of them are non-Japanese. By comparing Messianity with Catholicism and kardecismo, a Brazilian spiritualism, this paper tries to elucidate the reason why the religion was accepted by non-Japanese Brazilians. Messianity defines itself as a religion that realizes the prophecy of Christianity. Further, Messianity's care of its followers is attractive for Catholics because liberation theology, which has retained remarkable influence in Brazil since the 1970s, focuses on the salvation of society rather than on individual salvation. Kardecismo is closer to Messianity than Catholicism, however. Both Messianity and kardecismo (1) believe in the existence of the spirit world, (2) put importance on the procedures which transfer transcendental energy from one human being to another (3) believe in reincarnation, (4) urge spiritual evolution; raise the spirit's level in the spirit world. These similarities are not by coincidence. Western spiritualism reflects in Messianity's doctrine, because the founder Okada Mokichi was interested in Western spiritualism and read its literature in Japanese translation. With its closeness to Catholicism and kardecismo both in doctrinal and practical aspects, Messianity has achieved success in propagation in Brazil.

本稿は,フランスの宗教学者ロベール・エルツ(1881-1915)の三本目(そして最後)の論文「聖ベス-アルプスの祭祀-(Saint Besse -etude d'un culte alpestre)」を扱っている。エルツについては,ボルネオ島ダヤク族の死をめぐる習俗(具体的には二次埋葬)・観念に時間的構造をみようとした1907年の「死の集合表象の研究」,ニュージーランドのマオリ族の事例を扱い,右手と左手の価値の差を右利きという生理学的要因ではなく,善と悪,生と死,男と女,南と北,聖と俗,浄と不浄といった社会的な価値の両極を象徴するものとして捉えようとした1909年の「右手の優越」が知られている。彼の師・先輩にあたるM・モースはエルツの研究について,「人間性の間の部分(cote sombre de l'humanite)」を対象としたものと言い表していた。「死」(「死の集合表象」),「タブー」(「右手の優越」),「罪」(博士論文)といった具合に,エルツは宗教に注目する事によって,人間性の裏側に光を当てようとしたのである。「聖ベス」論文でも伝承における「妬み」,祭祀における人々の「対立・葛藤」が取り上げられている。しかし,彼が生前残した最後の論文であるこの「聖ベス」は,フィールドワークによる資料採集を行い,事象から離れることなく理論のレヴェルにまで達している点で前二論文とは異なっている。昨年(2000年),雑誌『宗教研究』において,「「民間信仰」研究の百年」という特集が組まれたが,「聖ベス論文」は「民衆」レヴェルの宗教研究として,88年前の論考でありながら現在でも十分参考になり得る。むしろ「民衆」レヴェルの宗教への取り組み方,その概念そのものの再考が要請されている現在だからこそ,この論文を見直す意味があるのではないだろうか。以下では,祭祀とそれにまつわる伝承,歴史について彼がいかなるアプローチを施したかを,同時代のフランスのフォルクロリスト達,フランス社会学派のモースなどと比較しつつ考察し,その位置付けを行なう。

Kishimoto Hideo (1903-1964, professor in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Tokyo), one of the leading scholars of religious studies in postwar Japan, is also known for his involvement in the postwar reforms of religious institutions and the administration of religion carried out by GHQ/SCAP. One focus of these reforms was to turn Shinto shrines, hitherto considered national institutions, into private religious corporations. Kishimoto himself published several essays discussing his cooperation with GHQ staff, including William Kenneth Bunce (1907-2008) of the Civil Information and Education Section (CIE). Concerning Kishimoto’s activities in the year 1945, his own recollections chiefly detail the following four aspects of the GHQ reforms: 1) the issue of how to deal with Yasukuni Shrine; 2) the issue of how to preserve Ise Jingu; 3) the drafting by the CIE of the so-called Shinto Directive; and 4) the process to replace the 1940 Religious Organizations Law with the Religious Juridical Persons Ordinance in 1945. This essay reviews these issues by referring to several well-known documents as well as to a hand-written copy of Kishimoto Hideo’s diary from 1945, contained in the William P. Woodard Papers in the Special Collection of the University of Oregon Library.

前回は主な中国古代宗教の学説を概観したが,今回は殷代に時代を区切って見てみたい。殷代の第一次資料としては所謂「甲骨卜辞」があるが,無論資料はそれにとどまるものではなく,青銅器やその鋳銘・土器・玉器・宮殿や墓葬などの遺構といった出土資料のみならず,多くの文献の質料価値もまた高いものがある。ただ問題はそれらが別の面の宗教的観念を表わすために,統一的に把握するのが難しいことである。また,古代王朝の性質上,全てが宗教に関係し,もし殷代宗教の全貌を述べるとすると殷代史の著述と変らなくなる。結局,おもしろそうな事項を選び,卜辞を資料とするものに限って概観する他はない。

The development of the Internet has changed the way we communicate in daily life. Expectations and anxieties concerning Computer Mediated Communications (CMC) are now being studied in many fields, including religious studies. There is a difference between websites operated by traditional organized religions and those administered by representatives of "New Spiritual Culture" groups. The former have a tendency to only offer basic information, such as teachings, schedules and a basic FAQ, and rarely set up online bulletin boards. Contrary to this, New Spiritual Movements tend to establish relatively open forums where participants enjoy communicating with each other and consider CMC a meaningful way for them to reveal their "true selves." CMC can therefore operate as a venue for individual spiritual empowerment. In this article, an official website of an organized religion, the West Tokyo Parish of the United Church of Christ in Japan, and a private spiritualist website, the Shinreigaku Kenkyujo, are taken as examples of different online communities. Differences between these sites stem from the relative intensity of their interactions with "real" social world and the appearance of multiple perspectives (sometimes paradoxical) on the Internet, which at times also confuse the website administrators. These difficulties explain the reason why people who operate religious websites, especially websites administered by organized denominations, are reticent to establish communication spaces for the general public.

When radio broadcasting started in 1925, people often saw the radio as a "mix of science and religion" and described its character as "Radio-Kibun (a kind of numinous feeling)", indicating that people had hoped the new media would connect human beings to a new world. This feeling gradually faded over the ages, but it survived as a metaphor hidden behind culture. In 1950, when the Broadcasting Law was enacted and the ban was lifted on private radio-broadcasting, some religious groups started their own broadcastings out of a religious belief in the medium of the radio. In this paper, the different cases of Konko-kyo and Seicho-no-ie have been chosen for analysis; the former, because it had started broadcasting very early among new religions, and the latter, because it had a keen sense of using media. The staff of Konko-kyo saw the radio as a new means of propaganda and public enlightenment, but they were torn between these two uses in practice. Considering the social need at that time, they preferred a more enlightening program rather than a propagandists one, but their members thought it something missing and criticized them strictly it. The staff therefore had to seek a more effective way to balance the two, and put this dispute to rest by employing a narrative story about healing by unwavering faith. In the case of Seicho-no-ie, Masaharu Taniguchi, the leader, had a keen interest in radio not only as the tool of propaganda but also as a symbol of connection between human and mystical metaphysical object. His metaphorical remark about the radio can be seen as a reflection of the line of thinking which had been cultivated in the religious backdrops of Oomoto, New Thought, and Spiritualism, as well as in the social background of "Radio Kibun".Through these cases, we can see that they reflect their own religious colors.
