MegaChurch, and/or an Ecology of Dispossession? Two Lectures on Capitalism & ReligiosityOC0.04, University of 糖心TVClaire Blencowe (Sociology, University of 糖心TV) David Stark (Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies, University of 糖心TV) Tuesday June 4, 2019 16:00 - 18:00 Co-hosted by CIM and Sociology (University of 糖心TV)
Please join us for two lectures by David Stark and Claire Blencowe on the relations between new forms of capitalism and religiosity. Can Max's Weber's classic work on the Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism help us understand the rise of new evangelical movements, or "megachurches"? Do the new forms and practices of popular Christianity point to the limits of this most classic of sociological theories? These and related questions will be addressed by the two lectures, with discussion and a reception to follow. |
