What does the “nation” mean to Catholics in Slovakia? (Approaches and methodologies after the cultural turn and post-confessional critique)

Summary/Abstract: .What does the “nation“ mean to Catholics in Slovakia? How has its meaning changed over time? These and similar questions are time and again becoming relevant against the backdrop of the current resurgence of nationalist moods and politics. However, social researchers in Slovakia, historians of religion included, have yet to answer these questions satisfactorily. Meaning-making among Catholics in post-war Slovakia has been and remains an uncharted territory. The reasons are both ideological and methodological. Focusing on the methodological part of the issue, this paper proposes an approach to the study of religion which combines theoretical and methodological innovations brought about by the Cultural Turn and the ensuing post-confessional critique of modern and post-modern approaches in the study of religion.
