| Summary: | The article is focused on the individual spiritual crisis of one Religious Studies student as a case study of the tension between this field of study and one's own religious/spiritual identity. From a social constructivist perspective, Religious Studies is seen as a specific subworld with its own knowledge and rules which are internalized by students during their academic socialization process. As the text argues, academic socialization into Religious Studies also has a significant impact on the students' construction of their religious/spiritual identity. The analysis shows that spiritual crisis was stimulated by these factors: 1) the disintegration of the spiritual bricolage in relationship to the knowledge gained in Religious Studies; 2) the internalization of the scientific rationalization of religions and disenchantment in everyday life; and 3) the secularization of the Religious Studies students' identity and the privatization of their personal religious/spiritual identity. To decrease this tension, the text, inspired by Jürgen Habermas' conception of rational discussion in the public institutional space, proposes a shift from secular academic socialization to post-secular academic socialization. This means the direct integration of religious/spiritual identities into the academic socialization process and a shift from the Weberian conception of objectivity to the Latourian one regarding the ideal-typical construction of the scholar in the Religious Studies subworld. |
