Ausgehend von der Prämisse, viele Traditionen seien, zumindest teilweise, gesellschaftliche Erfindungen, die oftmals ideologischen Sonderinteressen dienen, wird eine große Vielfalt von Religionen und historischer Epochen behandelt.This collection of essays analyzes ‛tradition’ as a category in the historical and comparative study of religion. The book questions the common assumption that tradition is simply the “passing down” or imitation of prior practices and discourses. It begins from the premise that many traditions are, at least in part, social fabrications, often deliberately serving particular ideological ends. Individual chapters examine a wide variety of historical periods and religions (Congolese, Buddhist, Christian, Confucian, Cree, Esoteric, Hawaiian, Hindu, Islamic, Jewish, New Religious Movement, and Shinto). Different sections of the book consider tradition's relation to three sets of issues: legitimation and authority; agency and identity; modernity and the West.Religion and society (Hague, Netherlands) ;43.AuthorityReligious aspectsTradition (Theology)Religious inventionReligious Invention.Tradition (Theology).AuthorityReligious aspects.Tradition (Theology)Religious invention.206BG 8540rvkEngler Steven1546604Grieve Gregory P(Gregory Price),1964-931790MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788418103321Historicizing "tradition" in the study of religion3802317UNINA03200nam 22004453 450 991015950020332120230725063623.01-59433-207-X(CKB)3710000001019737(MiAaPQ)EBC6535225(Au-PeEL)EBL6535225(OCoLC)1245665160(BIP)039383893(EXLCZ)99371000000101973720210901d2011 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDirector of the Tours Misadventures of a Tour Director in Alaska1st ed.Chicago :Publication Consultants,2011.©2011.1 online resource (135 pages)Cover Page -- Title Page -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Contents -- Preface -- Evil Arm -- Seeing Whales -- Rhythm on the Road -- Man Servant -- Love Lost -- IRS Agent -- J. &amp -- J.

Director of the Tours is an attempt by the author to report on both humorous and touching stories relating to the more than one million visitors whom choose to visit Alaska aboard cruise ships each summer. Thirty-five stories concern the author's interactions in unique situations during his ten years of leading guests on mostly five and six day land tours. These tours stretch from Seward, in South Central Alaska to the Alaska interior city of Fairbanks. Another 11 stories relate to events occurring in winter, when we tour directors are encouraged to jump on board any cruise ship (space available), anywhere in the world--and get a feel for what our guests get to experience on these luxury liners. The author hopes you will enjoy these stories.TourismTravelTourism.Travel.979.8Colvin Fred848751MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910159500203321Director of the Tours1895631UNINA
