TL;DR: The issue of morality has lost its position of importance within the discipline, yet a growing number of sociologists interested in the ambivalent character of (post) modernity have returned to this subject in recent years.
Abstract: The issue of morality has lost its position of importance within the discipline, yet a growing number of sociologists interested in the ambivalent character of (post) modernity have returned to this subject in recent years. This article examines the revival of interest in morality and suggests it would benefit by engaging creatively with Durkheim's writings on homo duplex, collective effervescence, and the social construction of moral orders. After examining this relatively neglected part of Durkheim's work, developed most fully in his «The Elementary Forms of Religious Life», the authors focus on two of the most influential contemporary commentators on morality, Z. Bauman and A. Giddens. Having evaluated the limitations of their respective approaches (which associate the sources of morality respectively with a methodologically individualistic bodily impulse of 'being for the other', and with an increasingly global cognitive reflexivity), they analyse recent writings which have attempted to transcend such difficulties by engaging with some of the tensions in Durkheim's account of sacred moral orders. These highlight those features of Durkheim's work which continue to offer a productive basis on which to develop further a thoroughly sociological appreciation of morality

TL;DR: A ciencia das religioes, como disciplina autonoma, tendo por objeto a analise dos elements comunos comuns das diversas religions, afim de decifrar-lhes as leis de evolucao e, in particular, precisar a origem e a forma primeira da religiao, e uma ciencialcia muito recente (data do seculo XIX).
Abstract: A ciencia das religioes, como disciplina autonoma, tendo por objeto a analise dos
elementos comuns das diversas religioes afim de decifrar-lhes as leis de evolucao e,
sobretudo, precisar a origem e a forma primeira da religiao, e uma ciencia muito
recente (data do seculo XIX), e sua fundacao quase coincidiu com a da ciencia da
linguagem. Max Muller impos a expressao “ciencia das religioes” ou “ciencia
comparada das religioes” ao utiliza-la no prefacio do primeiro volume de sua obra
Chips from a German Worshop (Londres, 1867). E certo que o termo fora
empregado esporadicamente antes (em 1852, pelo padre Prosper Leblanc; em 1858
por F. Stie felhagen etc.), mas nao no sentido rigoroso que Max Muller lhe deu e que,
desde entao, passou a ser amplamente adotado.

TL;DR: The Camino came into being as a major pilgrim's route in the Middle Ages, although, in later centuries, it saw long periods of neglect as discussed by the authors, and over the last few decades, a wide variety of public bodies that have embellished and renewed its heritage, a process shaped by numerous interests and reflecting a substantial diversity of ideologies and interplay of territorial identities.
Abstract: This article examines the features that characterise the renaissance of the Camino de Santiago in the late twentieth century. The Camino came into being as a major pilgrim's route in the Middle Ages, although, in later centuries, it saw long periods of neglect. Over the last few decades, this pilgrim's route has been adapted by a wide variety of public bodies that have embellished and renewed its heritage, a process shaped by numerous interests and reflecting a substantial diversity of ideologies and interplay of territorial identities. There has also been a resurgence in the number of pilgrims as a result of a militant effort favoured by the proliferation of Jacobean associations and studies. Pilgrims travel to Santiago on foot or by other means of transport that require the use of their own strength. A pilgrimage of this kind dovetails with the reasons for travelling: the search for unusual experiences, slow travel, contemplation of the landscape, learning about history and culture, and meeting new peop...
