Sommario/riassunto

Le ministère de la Culture et de la Communication français et le National Endowment of the Arts aux États-Unis réalisent régulièrement une enquête nationale (Pratiques culturelles des Français et Public Participation for the Arts) pour suivre l’évolution des comportements



des habitants dans le domaine de la culture et des médias. La confrontation des résultats de ces deux enquêtes, dont les éditions sont, depuis le début des années 1980, relativement proches dans le temps, permet une analyse comparative sur près de trois décennies du niveau de diffusion des pratiques culturelles et du profil de leurs publics respectifs. Au début des années 1980, la population américaine, bien que plus téléphage, avait un niveau général de participation culturelle supérieur, à l’exception de la lecture de livres. Le profil des publics culturels en termes de sexe, d’âge, de niveau d’études et de revenu était relativement proche de part et d’autre de l’Atlantique. Les évolutions observées dans chaque pays au cours des décennies suivantes sont souvent semblables mais interviennent plus tard en France (augmentation de la consommation de télévision, baisse de la lecture de livres, progression des pratiques artistiques en amateur). La seule véritable divergence concerne les sorties au cinéma, au théâtre et aux spectacles de danse, dont les taux de fréquentation ont progressé en France dans les années 2000, au moment où ils accusaient un recul marqué aux États-Unis. Les évolutions relatives au profil des publics sont également souvent analogues : féminisation et vieillissement des publics, recul de la participation des plus diplômés s’observent dans les deux pays, avec toutefois une accentuation des écarts entre les plus riches et les plus pauvres aux États-Unis qu’on n’observe pas en France.  The French Ministry of Culture and Communication and the US National Endowment of the Arts regularly conduct national surveys (Pratiques culturelles des Français and Public Participation for the…

Sommario/riassunto

Christian theologians have for some decades affirmed that they have no monopoly on encounters with God or ultimate reality and that other religions also have access to religious truth and transformation. If that is the case, the time has come for Christians not only to learn about but also from their religious neighbors. Circling the Elephant affirms that the best way to be truly open to the mystery of the infinite is to move away from defensive postures of religious isolationism and self-sufficiency and to move, in vulnerability and openness, toward the



mystery of the neighbor. Employing the ancient Indian allegory of the elephant and blind(folded) men, John J. Thatamanil argues for the integration of three often-separated theological projects: theologies of religious diversity (the work of accounting for why there are so many different understandings of the elephant), comparative theology (the venture of walking over to a different side of the elephant), and constructive theology (the endeavor of re-describing the elephant in light of the other two tasks).Circling the Elephant also offers an analysis of why we have fallen short in the past. Interreligious learning has been obstructed by problematic ideas about “religion” and “religions,” Thatamanil argues, while also pointing out the troubling resonances between reified notions of “religion” and “race.” He contests these notions and offers a new theory of the religious that makes interreligious learning both possible and desirable. Christians have much to learn from their religious neighbors, even about such central features of Christian theology as Christ and the Trinity. This book envisions religious diversity as a promise, not a problem, and proposes a new theology of religious diversity that opens the door to robust interreligious learning and Christian transformation through encountering the other.
