Homosexuality,Religion, and the Family: The Effects of Religion on Americans’ Appraisals of the Parenting Abilities of Same-Sex Couples

Although a growing body of research focuses on Americans’ attitudes toward same-sex couples as parents, very few include measures of religion, and those that do fail to capture its multidimensional nature. Furthermore, many past studies relied on convenience samples of college students, or samples gathered outside the United States. Multivariate analyses of the 2012 General Social Survey—a nationally representative sample of adults in the United States—reveal that a slim majority of Americans still do not believe same-sex couples can parent as well as male-female couples, and the religious beliefs, behaviors, and affiliations of Americans are significantly and at times differentially associated with appraisals of same-sex couples’ parenting abilities. It appears that although religion is generally associated with more negative appraisals of the parenting abilities of same-sex couples, it is not uniformly so. Americans’ immediate religious and cultural context can shape their appraisals of homosexuality in diverse ways.

百年来羌族宗教研究的回顾与反思

宗教现象是民族学者了解羌族文化的一个极重要的方面,对羌族宗教研究作回顾与反思有重要价值。二十世纪初,英国传教士、民族学者陶然士以传播论为依据,认为羌族是希伯来人的子孙后代和一神论者。三十年代,美国学者葛维汉以鲍亚斯的文化相对主义研究羌族宗教信仰,批评陶然士的观点。中国民族学家胡鉴民以功能论来论证羌族原始宗教是羌族文化的本质。从五十年代到现在,中国民族学者结合了欧美以及我国民族学的传统,对羌族宗教信仰进行研究,基本上与前辈一脉相承。不同之点,过去是筚路蓝缕,现在是日渐茁壮。胡鉴民认为宗教是“羌族文化中最可宝贵的一部分”的概念,促成了一种新形态的研究模式,其影响是深远的。学界对白石崇拜信仰研究已逐渐成为羌族研究里的显学。     

Winnicott’s “Potential Space” and the Jewish Study Hall for social work students,faculty and practitioners

Abstract

The article addresses the potential interface and dialogue between academic and quasi-academic spaces. In particular, it examines the space of the Jewish Study Hall (Beit Midrash) as facilitative of the professional as well as personal development of social work students and practitioners in an Israeli college. We examine how Winnicott’s potential space concept contributes to understanding the Study Hall’s uniqueness as an extracurricular learning space within the School of Social Work. Twenty participants in the Beit Midrash for Judaism and Social Work took part in the study. Thematic analysis of transcribed sessions revealed three themes: (1) The Beit Midrash as a peaceful, safe and inclusive physical space; (2) The Beit Midrash as a space for playing out different realities; and (3) The Beit Midrash as contributing to social work training. Findings indicate that potential spaces that embrace the metaphysical world can help students engaged in religion and spirituality to complement and expand their academic training. We conclude by recommending that Winnicottian potential spaces that embrace the metaphysical world be integrated in social work programmes.     

Conducting Large‐Scale Surveys in Secondary Schools: The Case of the Youth On Religion (YOR) Project

There are few published articles on conducting large‐scale surveys in secondary schools, and this paper seeks to fill this gap. Drawing on the experiences of the Youth On Religion project, it discusses the politics of gaining access to these schools and the considerations leading to the adoption and administration of an online survey. It is concluded that successful research in schools has to be planned carefully in collaboration with key members of staff, and justified as an educational activity. Providing speedy feedback was helpful to ensure schools benefited from the research and to keep them engaged with the project. © 2011 The Author(s).

《西游记》中“龙”形象的传统文化审视

作为神魔小说的典型代表,《西游记》中多次出现龙王的形象,龙王形象从取经前第一次出场到取经归来,贯穿于整个取经故事,成为《西游记》中着墨最多的配角。龙王形象之所以能深得作者青睐,既受普遍流行的民间信仰的影响,也是作者迎合大众审美趣味的有意之举。
