Objective
The research project, embedded within the interdisciplinary field of Women's Studies, seeks to account for the engagement of women in contemporary religious (fundamentalist) revival movements, against the background of following observations: (1) an increase in religious identifications and subsequent challenges to the secular status quo, (2) the great participation of women in this religious revival, and (3) an emphasis within such movements on moral issues of family, sexuality and kinship, including strict positions on gender arrangements and women¿s roles and behavior. The project consists of a first theoretical part exploring religious revival and fundamentalism and addressing debates on religion within Women¿s Studies, on the status of secularisation theories within Sociology of Religion and on the structure-agency question within Social Sciences in general. For this purpose, innovative concepts such as `religious modernities¿ and `(female) religious agency¿ will be used and further developed. A second empirical part focuses on the analysis of original data (life-stories of women involved in religious fundamentalist movements) and complementary data gathering. Both the theoretical questions and the empirical case-studies of the relationship between women, religious (fundamentalist) revival and contemporary society are specifically located in a European context (empirical case-studies in Russia, Italy and the Netherlands). The project is based on a very recently completed doctoral dissertation, which the examination committee praised for its excellence, and seeks to consolidate (through the publication of a book and scientific articles) and further pursue its findings. The mobility action would enable an intensive investigation of the innovative concepts religious modernities and (female) religious agency, and their theoretical and wider implications, with a internationally leading scholar in this field (based at the University of California, Santa Cruz).
