Site frozen. Go to Anthrograph for the latest [July 4, 2025]

I am pleased to announce that I am debuting a new site for teaching resources at https://anthrograph.rschram.org. Please visit and browse.

The Anthrocyclopaedia will remain for now as an archive but will no longer be updated. I will be manually moving materials from this site to Anthrograph from today, editing and updating as I go. Thanks for your visits over the many years---over 10!---that this site has been active. I look forward to welcoming you to a new teaching site.

-## Key ideas for this week ##+## New questions of religion and politics ## 
  
-* Badiou +* Millennialism and militant subjectivity  
-* Cargo cult or Rehabilitation Scheme? (Lawrence 1989)  +* Christian politics in the Pacific: Posttraditionalism? 
-* Rheinhold Niebuhr: Church and sect +
-* Joel Robbins: A sect as big as society. +
-* Looking back +
  
-## Comments appreciated ## +## Anthropology and religion ##
  
-This class will be taught again in Sem 1 2016. Your thoughts on this unit and ways to improve it are really helpful. You can fill out a "Unit of Study Survey" online at the Institute for Teaching and Learning web site. Watch your email for information on this. I also welcome feedback in any form. +* Religion and collective consciousness 
 +* Religion as a type of social action 
 +* Religious experience and subjectivity 
 +* Religion as moral practice 
 +* Religious subjectivity and ideologies of communication
  
 +## What if there is no such category as religion? ##
  
 +* Are things we label as 'religion' too diverse to have anything in common?
