Garling: Approaching religion through linguistics [6ed83640]

papers, religion, languages/linguistics

  • Makes the difference between critque and criticism
  • Attempts to offer up a way to analyze religion by not looking at where they are common, but question the unity of the text

  • However, still sees the text as fundalmentally anthropological in approach

    • three layers of thematic, argumenative, and grammatical

      • What if we moved beyond religion as text to religion as performance?

  • are anthropoloigsts too eager to draw casual conclusions w/o statistics?

    • funnily enough sociologists are less willing

  • "It symbolises internal consistency without denying conflicting, fractured and uneven parts. Knots can be unravelled, their unity can be questioned, and they can be re-fastened in different ways."
