http://methodologicalreligion.blogspot.com/2008/11/tradition-of-red-cup.html
Methods and Theories in the Study of Religion. Sunday, November 16, 2008. The Tradition of the Red Cup. Of course when he mentioned the word “tradition” I perked up and then decided to share this tradition in my blog entry this week. Has Starbucks itself become a tradition? I like how you point out the vagueness of the term 'tradition'. I've been noticing that with alot of the bywords we've been looking at over the past few weeks. They are so vague as to sometimes be interchangeable, they all ref...IR...

Methods and Theories in the Study of Religion: December 2008
http://methodologicalreligion.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Methods and Theories in the Study of Religion. Sunday, December 7, 2008. The Suspension of Belief. Is it always necessary to suspend one’s beliefs in order to critically and objectively study from an academic point of view? Are we not all influenced by our beliefs, whether they are religious or not, when we approach our subjects? Is it better to use an insider or outsider approach to the study of religion? Or is there an alternative? Or is there another way? 8221; ( But are they Really Christian.

http://methodologicalreligion.blogspot.com/2008/10/issues-of-gender.html
Methods and Theories in the Study of Religion. Sunday, October 12, 2008. I have chosen to discuss Butler’s analysis of Wittig’s call for a “destruction of sex” in Boyarin’s article on “Gender”. Butler vs. Wittig: The Battle of the Sexes? What do we do now? How are we as scholars to approach our research with this in mind? 1 Characteristics of gender are deeply ingrained into our thinking as scholars. Even in today’s society there are activities, clothes, games and colours that are generally asc...2 The s...

http://methodologicalreligion.blogspot.com/2008/11/reflections-on-method-and-theory.html
Methods and Theories in the Study of Religion. Sunday, November 30, 2008. Reflections on Method and Theory. Just like the word “religion” is difficult to define, I think that to make a class which is useful for students with such diverse interests is quite a difficult endeavor. I do see how they would greatly affect my work as a scholar of religion. I see the study of religion, especially in relation to the study of texts, as being a bit outdated in its approach. The term ‘religion’ s...I liked your hone...

Methods and Theories in the Study of Religion: The Emotional Side of the Study of Religion?
http://methodologicalreligion.blogspot.com/2008/11/emotional-side-of-study-of-religion.html
Methods and Theories in the Study of Religion. Sunday, November 9, 2008. The Emotional Side of the Study of Religion? Can you imagine how might you productively apply an analysis of emotion to your own research? But what is emotion? I also took issue with the broadness of the term emotion. I read through several articles and they were all so completely different! It is starting to get a little disconcerting just how ill-defined all the terms we use really are, isn't it? I was a bit thrown off by the gene...
