Item Russian Christ. The Struggle of the Russian Orthodox Church to Introduce Religion into the Curriculum in the First Decade of the Twenty-first Century(New York: Berghahn, 2014-06-01) Shnirelman, Victor A.An interest towards a social role of religion including religious education (RE) is in increase in the European Union. Yet, whereas the Western educators focus mostly on potentials of religion for a dialogue and peaceful co-existence, in Russia religion is mostly viewed as a resource of an exclusive cultural-religious identity and a resistance to globalization. RE was introduced into the curriculum in Russia during the last ten to fifteen years. The author analyzes why, how and under which particular conditions RE was introduced in Russia, what this education means, and what social consequences it can entail.Item Muslims in Catalonian Textbooks(New York: Berghahn, 2014-01-07) Samper Rasero, Lluis; Garreta Bochaca, JordiTextbooks are basic elements that shape the school curriculum. Despite the democratization and decentralization of the Spanish educational system, a certain ideological inertia and bias with respect to their contents and focus persists. The study presented here is based on an empirical analysis of the contents of 264 books used at the primary (6-11), secondary (12-14 years) and baccalaureate (15-16) levels. The results point to the existence of an “unstated” curriculum, where only brief mention of Islam, Arabs and Muslims, and their presence in Spain predominate. These are usually accompanied by images – for cognitive support – that serve to maintain an exotic, anti-modern, anti-Western and, in other words, an “Orientalist” image of this group.
