Description
Summary:The notion of subjectivisation proposed in this essay refers to the increasing relevance of the self and subjective experiences as a dominant feature of religion in late modern society. The shift towards the subjective is, first, supported by several empirical evidences which suggest its growing importance for an increasing part of the population. Because of its stress on subjective experience, subjectivisation also raises a basic conceptional question: Is subjectivised religion socially invisible? In order to answer this question, the essay attempts to reformulate the theory of the »invisible religion« in terms of the communicative turn of phenomenologically orientated sociology. By way of conclusion, the notion of communication is applied to the phenomenon of subjectivisation by way of the mechanisms of market communication with particular reference to the religious field in Germany.
