Religion und PolitikNicht nur rot-grün: Protestant*innen im ParlamentEvangelische Parlamentarier decken in der Langzeitperspektive vom 19. Jahrhundert bis heute das gesamte politische Spektrum ab und sind keineswegs mehrheitlich linksorientiert. Bis zur Akzeptanz von Demokratie und Pluralismus war es gerade für Protestanten, die sich im Kaiserreich sehr Monarchie-orientiert zeigten, ein langer Weg. Der Sozialethiker Arnulf von Scheliha und die Theologin Uta Elisabeth Hohmann vom Exzellenzcluster "Religion und Politik" berichten im Podcast über erste Ergebnisse aus ihrem Forschungsprojekt „TheoParl“, in dem sie reichhaltiges Datenmaterial über die politischen Aktivitäten evangelischer Theologinnen und Theologen auswerten.

Neben Texten bieten sich auch Materialien an, also Bilder, Buchobjekte, Gebäude, Inschriften, Münzen oder Dinge des Alltags. Die Forschung hat sie in den vergangenen Jahren verstärkt in den Blick genommen. Eine besondere Quelle dieser Art, ein Feiertagsgebetbuch – den Amsterdamer Mahsor, der vermutlich um 1240 in Köln entstand – stellt die Judaistin Katrin Kogman-Appel vom Exzellenzcluster in unserer Podcastreihe „Zugehörig oder ausgegrenzt?“ vor.

Two notes for this episode:
1) You probably caught the “explicit” marking on this one — it’s only for some brief swearing near the middle, but this is a cognitive neuroscience-heavy episode of a linguistics podcast, so excited cursing is nearly unavoidable.
2) I’m so sorry for every time I said “cognitive neuroscienTIST” instead of “cognitive neurosciENCE,” but by the powers of linguistics and CN, maybe we can call this goof an interesting phenomenon?
