| Zusammenfassung: | This article provides an outline theoretical synthesis of educational sociological and political theology, through the concept of disenchantment' to afford insights on critical current debates around secularization and securitization. Drawing together two originating frameworksMax Weber's (1918) sociological theorization of religious authority's intellectual demise as disenchantment of the modern world and Carl Schmitt's (1922) contemporaneous framing of a political theologythis article argues that a bringing together of these apparently disparate perspectives facilitates an understanding of securitization as a staging post in the history of the secularization of religion in education. Here an educational sociology and political theology of disenchantment thereby provides embryonic evidence of the securitization of the sacred as a staging post in the history of secularization. It is argued, in conclusion, that all these framings are a matter of decision-making in the exercise of ideological, political and theological power in and through education. Such decision-making in educational policy presents new sociological and political-theological territory for empirical and theoretical analysis of the shifting sources of authority amongst what C. Wright Mills called the power elite. |
