Contemporary Spiritualities: Enchanted Worlds of Nature, Wellbeing and Mystery in Italy: Routledge New Religions
Autor Stefania Palmisano, Nicola Pannofinoen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 mai 2022
The book is divided into two parts. The first sets out the context in which contemporary alternative spirituality has formed, charting its development as an academic term and a social phenomenon. The second part looks at how these two elements have developed in countries that are historically Catholic, focussing on specific examples in contemporary Italy: spiritualities based on the sacralisation of nature; those concerned with health and wellbeing; and those which are fascinated by mystery.Catholic majority countries are particularly interesting in this instance, as the Catholic Church has a unique cultural hegemony with which to compare alternative spiritual practices. It concludes that spirituality, if framed in a longer historical perspective, is a way of acting and seeing the world which was built, and continues to be built upon complex relations with various contradictory sources of authority, such as religion, magic thinking, secularism, rationalism, various spheres of lay culture.
This is a bold take on the spirituality milieu and as such will be of great interest to scholars of Religious Studies working on the sociology of religion, contemporary spirituality and the rise of the "spiritual but not religious".

Recenzii
Contemporary Spiritualities is a needed exploration of how today’s seekers are doing something both old and new, something different from religion, but drawing on it. Whether focused on nature, wellbeing, or mystery, the religious culture they have inherited provides the backdrop for new experiments. With fascinating examples from their deep knowledge of Italy, these authors open new ways to understand today’s spiritual moment.

Descriere
This book argues, therefore, that spirituality in the 21st Century actually shares many of the same characteristics as Classical, Mediaeval, Renaissance and Modern spiritualities. It is neither entirely new, nor is it clearly alternative to more established religions.
