Summary
The hybrid form produced when religious and secular orientations intersect through an individual’s crossing of social circles — a selective adaptation and integration resolving the “cross pressures” (Taylor 2007) of negotiating moral contradictions across institutional contexts (Palestinian Chicago — Identity in Exile, PDF p.45-46).
Details
- The concept is taken from Eipper 2011 and elaborated in the book’s Chapters 5 and 6 through two trajectories: religious secularity (from the secular milieu toward the religious; subforms reversion, conversion, accommodation) and secular religiosity, or “rebellion” (from the religious-sectarian context toward the secular; leading to atheism or spiritualization) (PDF p.45, p.48).
- Hybridity here is Lybarger’s broader use, against postcolonial usage (Bhabha 1994): a description of what happens to orientations in the crossing of social circles in modern societies of multiple institutional spaces and sociomoral milieus (Simmel; Weber) (PDF p.45).
