Muslimer, jøder og kristne i samspil, dialog og på motorcykel

Et feltstudie om interreligiøse foreninger i København

Abstract

This article explores and identifies an organized and collective type of
(inter)religious movement, that evolves around coexistence and interreligious relations,
expressing themselves through aesthetics, dialogue, motorcycles and/or
music. It seeks to explore the concept religious coexistence, based on empirical
studies of groups in Copenhagen that work with interreligious activities, dialogue
and relations – Goldschmidts Musikakademi, Islamisk-Kristent Studiecenter and
MuJu & Co. MC Danmark. I argue that these groups are examples of a type of interreligious
lived religion drawing on theoretical perspectives from Meredith B.
McGuire, Brian A. Jacobsen and Nancy T. Ammerman. Second, I find that the
groups have similar understandings of religious coexistence as a form of knowledge.
However, they differ in their methods of achieving it, using respectively verbal
and non-verbal communication strategies, which I explain drawing on Sara
Ahmed’s affect theoretical framework.
