The Śaiva Siddhānta Church (ŚSC), based in Kauai HI, USA, has been holding rites of conversion to Hinduism since the 1960s. These rites include studying one’s “former” religion, officially declaring severance from it in the presence of a minister or mentor, choosing and officially adopting a new Hindu name as well as aligning with “the Hindu community”. Starting from here, this paper will address the question of community with respect to (1) the meanings of the term, (2) the idea of Hinduism as “a global religion” upheld by numerous “communities” worldwide and (3) the relevance of “community” in the conversion process. For doing so, I will draw on source material published by the Himalayan Academy, a branch of the ŚSC, in the global magazine Hinduism Today, in book publications and on their various websites.

Referred to as orthographic depth, the degree of consistency of grapheme/phoneme correspondences varies across languages from high in shallow orthographies to low in deep orthographies. The present study investigates the impact of orthographic depth on reading route by analyzing evoked potentials to words in a deep (French) and shallow (German) language presented to highly proficient bilinguals. ERP analyses to German and French words revealed significant topographic modulations 240-280ms post-stimulus onset, indicative of distinct brain networks engaged in reading over this time window. Source estimations revealed that these effects stemmed from modulations of left insular, inferior frontal and dorsolateral regions (German>French) previously associated to phonological processing. Our results show that reading in a shallow language was associated to a stronger engagement of phonological pathways than reading in a deep language. Thus, the lexical pathways favored in word reading are reinforced by phonological networks more strongly in the shallow than deep orthography.

La Nación y sus Otros, reúne una serie de escritos que Rita Laura Segato ha producido a lo largo de quince años. La totalidad de los ensayos que conforman este libro presentan un análisis crítico sobre la política de identidades globalizadas y sobre el impacto de las mismas en países como Brasil y Argentina principalmente. La autora invita, a través de las páginas del libro, a la defensa de un mundo radicalmente plural en el cual prevalezca la diferencia profunda entre opciones culturales. Comprender críticas como las presentadas sitúa al lector o lectora en el contexto político actual; pensar las Políticas de Identidad involucra reflexionar sobre el proceso de globalización en el cual están circulando.

Para entender la relación entre religión y política en Argentina, necesario reconocer las tendencias de justificación sagrada en los imaginarios religiosos. En este sentido, la legitimidad religiosa es construida sobre la crítica de la política neoliberal y sus consecuencias en la vida social (pobreza, exclusión, marginalidad). La presencia católica, las manifestaciones protestantes, y la crítica de otros grupos religiosos (por ejemplo, la crítica del rabino Alejandro Bloch) tienen en común una profunda objeción al neoliberalismo.
