Abstract


Tulisan ini menyajikan pemetaan umum mengenai perkembangan mutakhir dalam kajian religi (religious studies) dan kajian-kajian yang terkait di dunia berbahasa Inggris, khususnya Amerika Serikat dan Eropa, selama kurang lebih dua dasawarsa terakhir. Beberapa pendekatan dan tema baru dalam kajian religi dibahas beserta dengan contoh-contoh literatur terkini dalam pendekatan dan tema baru tersebut. Lewat pembahasan ini kelihatan perbedaan antara kajian religi kontemporer dengan karakteristik disiplin ilmu agama sebelumnya (comparative religions, history of religions, dan phenomenology of religions). Diketengahkan pula beberapa catatan mengenai relevansi perkembangan kajian religi ini untuk program pascasarjana terkait di Indonesia.
