A Denizen of the Recent Past Lurking in the Present: Slenderman as Folklore

Response

Legendary figures and other forms of folklore need to be understood in relation to the vast configuring of social relationships and structures that are part of cultural expression.

Substantive Religion and the Functionalist Sacred

Podcast

Studying Vernacular Religion in the US

Podcast

Vernacular religion is a subject which fascinates us here at the RSP, because in keeping with our critical perspective, it challenges that idea that neat categorical boundaries may be drawn, and reminds us that when attempts are made to draw them, particular interests are being served.
Psychological Approaches to the Study of Religion

Podcast

"In practice, experimentation requires much effort, imagination, and resources. The subject of religion seems too complex and too ‘soft’ for the laboratory.
