Applying the conceptual framework of “event religion” to two Hungarian festivals

Heidl, Sára Eszter (author)

The event religion framework has been developed to enable the study of event experience using the tools of sociology, ethnography and religious studies, independently of the religious affiliation of the event participants or the events themselves. It examines event experience along four dimensions: spatiotemporality, symbols, community, and inward experience. This paper examines the event religion dimensions at a Catholic and a rock-metal music event in Hungary in order to draw attention to similarities and differences in participant experiences at a religious and a nonreligious festival.

• Title: Uporaba konceptualnega okvira 'dogodkovne religije' na dveh madžarskih festivalih

Abstract

Okvir dogodkovne religije je bil razvit za proučevanje izkušnje dogodka z uporabo orodij sociologije, etnografije in religijskih študijev, ne glede na religioznost tako udeležencev dogodka kot tudi dogodka samega. Raziskuje izkušnjo dogodka čez štiri dimenzije: prostor- čas, simboli, skupnost in notranja izkušnja. Prispevek raziskuje dimenzije dogodkovne religije na katoliškem in metalsko-rockovskem glasbenem dogodku na Madžarskem, z namenom prikazati podobnosti in razlike v izkušnji udeležencev religioznega in nereligioznega festivala.
