Abstract:
Religions have served various dissident movements in Vietnam. The two indigenous sects--Hoa Hao and Cao Dai--were founded in the early twentieth century and became forces for the anti-colonial, and later anti-communist, movements in Vietnam Catholics and Buddhists played major roles in South Viemam's political scene, while they were both suppressed in the North. Protestant Christians constitute only a small portion of the overall population, but have become linked to nationalist movements among the ethnic minorities of the Highlands. Viemam's communist regime has pursued a heavy-handed policy of anti-religious repression in North Vietnam since 1954, and continued this policy after reunification of the two Viemams in 1975. Capitalist-style economic reforms began in 1986, allowing for more openness in the society, and emboldening religious leaders and other dissidents. However, the regime still cracks down on religious groups and leaders perceived as a political threat to the Communist Party's monopoly of power. With the decline of Marxist-Leninist ideology in society, religions may become alternative repositories of moral values for Vietnam.

Abstract:
For this inaugural issue of the International Journal of Religion the editorial team sought to gather an array of papers that demonstrate substantive engagement with the questions of religious dissent as a political endeavor within and beyond religious frameworks. We solicited essays that would probe the following areas of study: historical and contemporary elasticities of religious traditions; internal tensions regarding the boundaries of acceptable belief and practice; the management and ethical treatment of dissent within particular religious traditions; whether religious faiths prescribe clear ways to manage dissent; religious reactions to dissent from feminist and queer activists; and reflections on the broader consequences of dissent in the political sphere. The papers assembled in this first issue have exceeded our expectations.

Abstract:
During the 2007 provincial election campaign, Conservative party candidateJohn Tory proposed extending government funding to all faith-based schoolsin Ontario. This was met with strong public and media opposition due to fearsof radicalization and indoctrinating students in religious beliefs considered outdatedand a threat to Canadian norms (particularly with Islamic schools). It iswith this anecdote that editors Graham P. McDonough, Nadeem Memon, andAvi L. Mintz introduce Discipline, Devotion, and Dissent: Jewish, Catholic,and Islamic Schooling in Canada. As they note, the impassioned debate surroundingTory’s election promise, as well as his ensuing loss, indicate that religiouseducation is a particularly contentious topic in an increasingly secularsociety. And yet there is surprisingly little scholarly literature on this topic.The editors seek to address this gap through this excellent and muchneeded contribution to the field. Focusing solely on Catholic, Islamic, and Jewishschools, which make up the vast majority of Canada’s full-time religiousschools, the editors seek not to provide an overview of religious education, butto address three issues: The schools’ aims and practices, how they “negotiatethe tension between the demands of the faith and the expectation that they educateCanadian citizens,” and how they “respond to internal dissent.” ...

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis critically examines the cases of Vatican intervention with the Leadership Conference for Women Religious (LCWR) and Charles Curran to explore the question of whether legitimate dissent is possible as an act of conscience. The Doctrinal Assessment of the Leadership Conference for Women Religious released by the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, as well as the exchange between Sr. Pat Farrell, then-president of the LCWR, and Bishop Blair, the one who conducted the investigation on the LCWR, on “Fresh Air,” a radio show on National Public Radio raise questions about how the Church is to understand truth, obedience, and conscience. This event also raises questions about why this controversy occurs at this point in history. To critically examine the differing perspectives of dissent and conscience, I analyze the case of Charles Curran, a Catholic priest and former professor at Catholic University of America, to exlore how dissent might be understood to be an act of a holistic conscience – one that takes seriously the subjective/ affective elements of human experience as well as the objective pole of morality. By applying the insights of the Curran case analogously to the LCWR case, with the help of Robert K. Vischer’s articulation of the relational dimension of conscience, this thesis articulates how the Church might understand its role in being a venue for consciences to thrive while preserving its claim of authentic teaching authority.

Abstract:
This dissertation focuses on the application of the methods of Social Network Analysis to the study of religious dissident movements in late medieval Languedoc. The aim of the project is to analyse the community performance of late Cathars, and Beguins of Languedoc in order to identify and compare organizational patterns and to reassess the participation of women in late medieval heresy. The study is based on a relational reading of inquisitorial sources, mainly registers and books of sentences. I argue that the relational nature of inquisitorial records makes them the ideal source not only for the study of social relationships within dissident religious movements but also for the application of formal network analysis methods. This approach stresses the need to consider the dissident community as encompassing both priestlike elites traditionally identified as the leadership of heretical groups and the social basis that shaped them and made them possible. Furthermore, as will be discussed, despite the current acknowledgement of the importance of female involvement in religious dissent, the fact that women were soon excluded from sacerdotal functions within some of these non- orthodox communities has fostered the underestimation of their contribution as brokers and, therefore, as key players within spiritual networks. The following pages will describe the different kinds of relations between actors that can be retrieved from the sources, as well as the role played by women in such relational structures. Acquaintanceship, family, and friendship ties are the most common, but the flows of information, beliefs, money, victuals, and relics have also been considered. In the case of women, the application of this methodology shows that they were central in sustaining dissident networks, but that this function was neither exclusive to them nor their sole purpose. Finally, I will propose that understanding the relational mechanisms that led new members to join the network—that is, to convert— contributes to the ongoing debate on the so-called “invention of heresy.” Thus, the social dimension of the flow of beliefs and spiritual practices leads to the conclusion that the networks that can be extracted from inquisitorial records were indeed social networks and not inquisitorial constructs, and that they provided the basis for the transmission of alternative religious cultures.
Esta tesis se centra en la aplicación de los métodos de Análisis de Redes Sociales al estudio de los movimientos religiosos disidentes en el Languedoc tardomedieval. El objetivo del proyecto es analizar la performance comunitaria de los grupos cátaros tardíos y de los beguinos del Languedoc con el fin de identificar y comparar patrones organizativos y reevaluar la participación de las mujeres en la disidencia espiritual de este período. El estudio se basa en una lectura relacional de las fuentes inquisitoriales, principalmente registros y libros de sentencias. Sostengo que la naturaleza relacional de los registros inquisitoriales los convierte en la fuente ideal no sólo para el estudio de las relaciones sociales dentro de los movimientos religiosos disidentes, sino también para la aplicación de métodos formales de análisis en redes. Este enfoque enfatiza la necesidad de considerar que el concepto de comunidad disidente abarca tanto a las élites sacerdotales, tradicionalmente identificadas como líderes de grupos heréticos, como a la base social que los formaba y los hizo posibles. Además, como se discutirá más adelante, a pesar del reconocimiento actual de la importancia de la participación femenina en la disidencia religiosa, el hecho de que las mujeres fueran pronto excluidas de las funciones sacerdotales dentro de algunas de estas comunidades no ortodoxas ha fomentado la subestimación de su contribución como intermediarias y, por lo tanto, como actores clave dentro de las redes espirituales. En las páginas siguientes se describen los diferentes tipos de relaciones entre los actores que se pueden obtener de las fuentes, así como el papel desempeñado por las mujeres en dichas estructuras relacionales. Los lazos de amistad, familia y amistad son los más comunes, pero también se han considerado los flujos de información, creencias, dinero, suministros y reliquias. En el caso de las mujeres, la aplicación de esta metodología muestra que fueron centrales para el apoyo material de las redes disidentes, pero que esta función no era exclusiva de ellas ni era su único propósito. Finalmente, propondré que la comprensión de los mecanismos relacionales que llevaban a los nuevos miembros a unirse a la red -es decir, a convertirse- contribuirá al debate en curso sobre la llamada “invención de la herejía”. Así, la dimensión social del flujo de creencias y prácticas espirituales lleva a la conclusión de que las redes que se pueden extraer de los registros inquisitoriales eran en realidad redes sociales y no constructos inquisitoriales, y que proporcionaron la base para la transmisión de culturas religiosas alternativas.

Mantinc que la naturalesa relacional dels registres inquisitorials els converteix en la font ideal no només per a l'estudi de les relacions socials dins dels moviments religiosos dissidents, sinó també per a l'aplicació de mètodes formals d'anàlisi en xarxes. Aquest enfocament emfatitza la necessitat de considerar que el concepte de comunitat dissident abasta tant a les elits sacerdotals, tradicionalment identificades com a líders de grups herètics, com a la base social que els formava i els va fer possibles. A més, com es discutirà més endavant, tot i el reconeixement actual de la importància de la participació femenina a la dissidència religiosa, el fet que les dones fossin aviat excloses de les funcions sacerdotals dins d'algunes d'aquestes comunitats no ortodoxes ha fomentat que se subestimi la seva contribució com a intermediàries i, per tant, com a actors clau dins de les xarxes espirituals.

Abstract:
This thesis is a study of the development of the Babi movement and the political implications embodied in its religious teachings. The thesis basically assumes that in its early development (1844--1848), the movement may be seen merely as religiously dissenting from the mainstream of Shi'i tradition. In the course of history, however, and especially after the Bab, its founder, claimed in 1848 to be the return of the Hidden Imam and proclaimed the abrogation of Qur'anic shari'a, the Babi movement showed radical tendencies, thus threatening the established religious and political authorities. This later development (1848--1853) was characterized by armed revolts by the Babis against the government troops. This thesis also examines the nature of Babi religious dissent and demonstrate that the Babi revolts were to a large extent based on religious motives.

Full text
Abstract:
Dissent, a word usually associated with religion, is commonly used in modern language yet its complicated and multi-faceted nature is usually obscured. The best way in which to explore the issue of dissent is to consider it within the local community; an area which until relatively recently has been neglected within the historiography of seventeenth-century Scotland. This thesis is particularly concerned with the Covenanter Movement in Fife, and the contribution of Fifers to the Movement, but it is also the aim of the thesis to consider the nature of dissent more widely. The examination of dissent in Fife between c.16l0 and 1689 reveals that it was driven primarily by the laity and that it was remarkably deep-rooted and well-organized. Additionally, its character was chameleon-like, ranging from considerable subtlety in the years before the period of Covenanter rule, to the overt dissent of the years in which the Covenanters governed Scotland. Indeed, by institutionalizing dissent between 1638 and 1651, the Covenanters add an additional twist to the study of dissent. Consideration of Fife's contribution to the period of Covenanter rule suggests that, in national and governmental terms, the nobles, the traditional leaders of society, took the lead and were supported by the commissioners of the shires and burghs. At a local level, the period saw an increased concern for morality and order within the local kirk, and an increased co-operation between the kirk sessions and the civil magistrates, features which disintegrated during the Restoration period. Throughout this later period, the many faces of dissent were exhibited within Fife, ranging from subtlety to dissent of an aggressive nature. So belligerent was dissent in this period that, despite having gained control of the local institutions of government, the authorities appear to have been powerless to stem it.

Abstract:
The nineteenth century is a period of transition, of great discoveries and also great contrasts. Strict morality, hypocrisy, charity and compassion are considered to be the pillars of Victorian society. Yet there is also another important principle that rigidly regulated the life of Victorians: religion. More specifically this century has seen the advancement of a great number of religious confessions which did not conform to the Anglican creed and that, for this reason, constituted the religious Nonconformity or Dissent. Victorian authors were profoundly influenced and affected by the religious turmoil of their epoch, either because of a direct experience or a direct acquaintance with Nonconformist believers, ministers or preachers. Therefore the aim of this dissertation is to investigate how the contrast between the Established Church of England and its Dissenting counterpart profoundly influenced and affected the works of two important Victorian authors: Elizabeth Gaskell and George Eliot. The first chapter is devoted to an analysis of Dissent from an historical, political and social point of view in the light of the causes of the separation from the Church of England, the ways that Nonconformists were opposed both religiously and socially by Anglicans and how the diverse confessions originated, their similarities and their differences. The second chapter deals with religion, doubt and Dissent in a precise novel by Elizabeth Gaskell, North & South. It discusses the doubts and the Dissenting religious rebellion of some of the characters. The third chapter deals with the biographical features of George Eliot and Elizabeth Gaskell which are associated with their profound and strong relation with religion. In addition, the representations of Dissenting preaching in Adam Bede and Ruth are also discussed. The dissenting characters of the lay preacher Dinah Morris in Adam Bede and the dissenting minister Thurstan Benson in Ruth are to be analysed as representatives of two contemporary Dissenting doctrines.

Full text
Abstract:
There is ample evidence that online hate speech in Pakistan is directed against women, religious minorities, journalists, voices of dissent and activists. The targeting of many of these groups is an expansion online of the traditional hostility and abuse they face offline. However, the internet has made such abuse easier and online hate speech is growing as internet use rises in the country. Those responsible vary somewhat: women and religious minorities are typically targeted by religio-political parties and their followers, while journalists and activists are often targeted by government/the military. In all cases, online hate speech can have a serious offline impact, including physical violence, and restrictions on people’s freedom/ability to work/post online. This review, looking at online hate speech in Pakistan in relation to particular groups, draws largely on reports by think-tanks/NGOs as well as media articles and blogs. Relatively little academic literature was found on the subject, but grey literature was quite extensive, especially on certain religious minorities (Ahmadis) and women.

The present paper comments upon certain (mis)understandings concerning science and religion in Greece’s public discourse during 2020 and 2021. The first half consists of a theoretical commentary on what transpired in Greece, focusing on ‘science’ and ‘religion’ morphing into one another in the public square apropos the pandemic—with religion presenting itself as science, science presenting itself as religion, and an unwelcome ‘Reformation’ in science emerging out of dissent. The second half of the paper provides a report on Greece’s public square during the pandemic, on the basis of which the theoretical part was formed.
