The Female Spiritual Elder and Death: Some Thoughts on Contemporary Lives of Russian Orthodox Saints
Shtyrkov S., Kormina J., State, Religion and Church 2017 No. 4 (2) P. 4-24
In contemporary Orthodox hagiography a special type of saint has emerged — blessed female spiritual elders (blazhennye startsy should not be in italics here). In some respects this form of sainthood is a successor to the traditional “fools for the sake of Christ.” Yet the staritsy have their distinctive features, chief among them the saint’s ...

In post-Soviet Russia, as the society underwent rapid and crucial social changes, secular political elites and the broader public paid exceptional attention to the Orthodox elders as part of the process of looking for the “usable past”. This past would become the foundation of a new national myth, which was greatly needed at that time. ...

The Russian Orthodox Church portrays itself as a hierarchically ordered and socially influential “public religion,” but occupies quite a tenuous position in contemporary Russian society. Following Marcel Mauss’s idea of prayer as a social phenomenon, we argue that lay intercessory prayer as a way of assuming social responsibility is key to extending the Church’s reach ...

How do people experience spirituality through what they see, hear, touch, and smell? Sonja Luehrmann and an international group of scholars assess how sensory experience shapes prayer and ritual practice among Eastern Orthodox Christians. Prayer, even when performed privately, is considered as a shared experience and act that links individuals and personal beliefs with a ...

The article analyzes the instrumentalization of death during the first two decades after the 1917 Russian Revolution. The Bolsheviks made use of two trends in the culture of death that took shape during the First World War. One, a cult of the dead communist ‘leaders and heroes’, and two, the minimalist, non-religious, pragmatic treatment of the dead ...

The Bolsheviks introduced "red funereals' after the October Revolution. These civilian rituals were designed to replace Christian rites and spread the worldview of the new state. Outside of the major cities, however, this type of ceremony never took hold. It was abandoned at the latest after the Great Patriotic War, and religious customs were revived. ...

This text is, above all, a grateful testament to a local saint’s continued liveliness. It is a new hagiography, a story of a woman who gave away everything—her house, her money, her possessions, and even her name—who wandered homeless, and who has helped people resolve desperate situations ever since. Retelling the fragmented stories of how ...

В статье обсуждается разрыв между постулируемой Русской православной церковью нормативной моделью религиозности и реальными социальными модусами проживания религиозной жизни в современной России. В противоположность нормативной приходской модели, основанной на идее активного членства верующего в своей локальной религиозной общине, возникли иные, «номадические» формы религиозной жизни, такие как сетевое православие, флэшмоб и групповое паломничество. Эти формы подробно ...

An anonymous Italian quodlibet (ca. 1310) discusses the posthumous fate of Aristotle, with arguments pro and contra. In spite of the apparently decisive denial of his having any hope of paradise, the questio leads us down some other avenues of the history of ideas and mentalities of the scholastic age. During the 13th century, the ...
