ATLANTIC Clemson and Florida State are tied atop the Atlantic Division as both boast 6-1 conference records, but the Seminoles own the tiebreaker with their September 22nd victory over the Tigers. Both teams play their last ACC games this weekend. Clemson will need a win over NC State and a MAJOR upset by Maryland over Florida State in order to take the division crown. COASTAL Things are A LOT more complicated in the Coastal Division. Miami and Georgia Tech are tied at 4-3 in the ACC (Miami owns the tiebreaker), but right behind them at 3-3 are Duke and North Carolina. The Tar Heels are ineligible for post season play, and are a long shot to win the division anyway having already lost to Georgia Tech and Duke. Miami needs to simply win out to take the division, while GT will need to beat Duke and then hope the Blue Devils can take down the Hurricanes the following week. Duke still has to face both the Georgia Tech and Miami, so they need to simply win out and they'll be making...

Nice hotel. Our room was not as shown!Posted May 5, 2015
Pros: Breakfast and staff
Cons: As above.
Location: Location was 10 min walk from old city. The surrounding area was mostly residential.
Our room was nothing like the one used to advertise the hotel. It was OK for 3 nights, but not longer. The shower room was in need of refurbishment; dark blue painted floor and walls. Stained bedroom carpet.

First Class Hotel in an excellent locationPosted Jan 9, 2015
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Methis Hotel; we had stayed at this hotel once before, in July 2011, and our total satisfaction on this occasion was the reason for our return. The staff are all pleasant and friendly and speak very good English, which is an advantage as we do not speak or understand spoken Italian very well. Our rooms were very clean and the breakfasts excellent. The hotel is also situated in a nice, quiet part of Padua. There is plenty to see in Padua, including the Scrovegni Chapel, Baptistery, the famous Basilica of Sant'Antonio and Palazzo Ragione, and the city is also good for shopping. It is only a short train ride away from Venice although, if you are planning to travel by train, it may be wise to buy your tickets in advance, as we arrived at the station to find long queues as the automatic ticket machines were not working properly and, due to this, there was a wait of over an hour to buy tickets at the counter. Due to my patience, I did, after about 45 minutes, manage to successfully purchase 3 tickets from a machine, but I witnessed only one other person obtain a ticket that lunchtime. We had never experienced problems like this before when travelling by train in Italy.

sehr citynah, alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind fußläufig zu erreichen, gut geeignet als Messehotel (ca. 2km). Abends ist eine kleine Essenkarte vorhanden. Einziges Manko: die zur Straße gelegenen Zimmer sind recht laut !
for Everyoneby A verified traveler from Dallas, TX
most beautiful receptionistPosted Oct 13, 2014
Pros: definitely the receptionist. the modern look of the rooms was also nice as was the location.
Cons: the walls were a bit scuffed in my room - but this is Italy and these buildings are super old - so it was by no means offensive.
Location: about a 7 minute walk to the main square - so the proximity is nice and you can drive to hotel in your car and park there as well...
I came in late after a full day of driving to spend the night. The receptionist working that evening (and super early the next morning) was drop dead gorgeous to such a degree that the thought crossed my mind whether i should just never leave Padova again - at least not without her... The hotel was nice as well.

i have the following code and i'm wondering if i can use try & catch as below:
class fun_database implements idbInfo{
private $srvr=idbInfo::srvr_name;
private $usr=idbInfo::usrnm;
private $pass=idbInfo::psswrd;
private $db=idbInfo::db_name;
public function connct(){
$hookup = new mysqli($this->srvr, $this->usr, $this->pass, $this->db);
if ($hookup->connect_errno)
throw new Exception("Error Processing Request", 1);
public function sql_require_all($table_name, $table_col){
$hookup = new connct();
$result = $hookup->query("SELECT $table_col FROM $table_name");
throw new Exception("Error Processing Request", 1);
return $result->num_rows;
This is a simple connection to the mysql and performing some querying there. Here is and the actual call of the functions above:
$conn = new fun_database();
$result = $conn->sql_require_all('wordtypes', 'types');
catch(Exception $err){
echo "Problems at:". $err->getMessage();
return "<option>".$result."</option>";
What i'm asking is a bit theory. Most probably this code is NOT WORKING (i didn't test it yet). I just want to know is it possible with one 'try' to 'catch' two exceptions (as you can see the first 'throw' is in the second method of fun_database, and the second 'throw' is in the first method of the same object which is only called from the second method).
sorry for making it too complicated but still can't figure it out id this structure of try/catch is working.

- Did You Hear The One About A Consulting Shop Winning A Media Agency AOR? in
Online Spin on
A few weeks back, I wrote a column about the evolution of the agency business that resonated with many of you. Still, a key concept I proposed in the column seems to have been too subtle and sped past many of the folks who read it, so I decided to clarify that concept this week. Simply put, a big change is in the air as a result of all the media business currently in review. I predict one of the large consulting companies will win a media review, stealing the business away from the media agency holding companies and signaling a sea change in the landscape.
- The New Creatives Are Data Geeks Too in
Online Spin on
Cannes is about creative, but this year the creative conversation is laced with something more than rose -- it's laced with talk of how data can finally be used to influence the creative process.
- Twitter Has A Unique Opportunity in
Online Spin on
Where is Twitter headed? The surprise resignation of Dick Costolo has almost everyone I know asking "Who, where and when?" - who will take over, where will the company go, and when will all this happen?
- The Importance Of Vision In Leadership in
Online Spin on
What is "vision"? Simply put, it's the common alignment of a group of people aiming for the same goal. Whether it's sports or business, having a vision is the single most important thing to motivate a team of individuals. Without it, you have chaos and you can't possibly succeed.
- The Oligopoly Response To Media Fragmentation in
Online Spin on
For all the talk of fragmentation in media, isn't it funny how similar the digital media business is to the old TV business? In the old days, an advertiser had three network television stations to choose from (ABC, NBC and CBS). These days you have the majority of dollars focused on the primary networks and a few major cable providers, plus a strong pool of innovation driven by players like HBO and Netflix. The Internet is actually very similar, albeit reversed in its path towards the same outcome. In the early days of the business there were many options for how to spend your dollars, but if you look at the way the business has consolidated, you have a few major players that take the majority of the ad dollars (Google, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, AOL, Microsoft) and a pool of innovative companies that deliver audience and are evolving to deliver media revenue (e.g., SnapChat, Pinterest and more).
- The Evolution Of The Agency Biz Is Clearer Than You Might Think in
Online Spin on
The advertising business now changes about every 10-15 years. We're at the tail end of the Media Era, about to enter the Technology Era, which will be unlike anything we've seen in the past.
- Content May Be King, But Data Is The 'Hand' in
Online Spin on
The recent news of AOL being acquired by Verizon created a firestorm of activity in the press, signaling the pendulum shifting. Once again we're hearing "content is king." The fact is, content may be king, but data is the "hand of the king" (to further bludgeon a "Game Of Thrones" reference).
- My Binge-Clicking Experiment Reveals The Web Is Too Targeted in
Online Spin on
I experimented to see what would happen if I started "binge-clicking" - basically, clicking on at least one ad on every Web page I was on for a predetermined period. I did this for two days and learned some interesting things: namely, that clicking on ads creates a significantly smaller universe for my media experience.
- The Impending War For Talent in
Online Spin on
There's a war going on, but you may not have noticed it. It's a subtle war that's about to heat up substantially over the next few years: the war for talent! Companies are going to be fighting for the best talent to fill a bunch of open positions, realizing that not every hire will be an A player right out of the gate.
- Marketing Is Now Even More Exciting - Here's Why! in
Online Spin on
Fellow Online Spinner Dave Morgan recently wrote a column on whether awareness and attribution can live together in an advertising-centric world. His assumption was "yes" - and he cited Sharon O'Sullivan from Discovery Communications (and others) as proof that media execs feel the same way. I'd like to take things a step further. I would simply add that if you don't feel this way, you should be planning your retirement.

by Dave Morgan (Online Spin on
Dave - keep an eye out for my un-predictions today. I completely stole your idea on what "won't" happen in 2015, but i hadn't seen yours yet. I guess great minds do think alike! I hope all is well on your end!

i dont disagree with your comment, but i think you are missing the point. tv and video advertising are not data driven marketing tools. they are not audience based buys. they are standard interruptions. the polite concept is based on using data to inform an interaction.

- Using What You Know To Power What You Do (No Buzzwords Allowed)
by Cory Treffiletti (Online Spin on
Its interesting that you take the idea that far. What is your perception of how private that information actually is? All companies have to live by all established privacy rules and regulations and that stands for the internet as well as every other company you interact with. Your grocery store, your phone company, your cell provider, your credit card companies and even your bank. Everyone of those companies has been using these methods for many, many years and the acceptance is quite high. How is this any different?
- Integrating Marketing Key, Yet Challenges Remain
by Steve McClellan (MediaDailyNews on
The other missing element in a strong integrated marketing effort is the data - how do you leverage audience segmentation across ALL channels and maintain a cohesive message, understanding your customer and customizing their experiences no matter where they interact with your brand.
- Pick One Horse In The Race -- Or Else Even When You Win, You Lose
by Cory Treffiletti (Online Spin on
When you write an article every week for over 11 years, you tend to hear a lot of feedback; some of it good, some of it bad. I read what people write in response to my columns and in many cases I get direct emails from people. Sometimes they write their responses in other online forums, but in just about every possible case I end up hearing about it. Last week's article got a LOT of that kind of discussion going. In my last column I made the statement that when a brand picks more than one agency to handle its business, they lose because they create a situation that breeds agency infighting. I stand by that statement, but I feel the need to clarify because its clear that many people completely missed the point of the piece. For a multiple agency situation to truly succeed, the customer needs to take an active role in strategic planning and they need to establish guidelines. If they don't then they set everyone up to fail. You cannot rule in a league of mercenaries. You cannot establish order when herding cats. You cannot expect rank and file organization when you lead an army of pirates. At some point every agency in that relationship has a goal to grow their business and that happens by decreasing the business somewhere else. The client's responsibility is to take the guesswork out, lay the framework for the relationship and parameters by which everyone operates. Too often people miss the point because they hear what they want to hear. This means they are less open to hearing the other side of the issue. That's just too bad.

Sorry if that was not clear - i actually think Tumblr may fall off the list and something else entirely will come along.
- Sorry, I Don't See The Web Going 'Native' Anytime Soon
by Cory Treffiletti (Online Spin on
I rarely actually respond to my responses, but this is a hot topic so i feel i have to. I appreciate everyone voicing their opinion, but the defense that i keep seeing is that Facebook and Twitter are considered native and that just bolsters my opinion. Facebook and Twitter and single use ad placements, meaning what you do with them only works with them. You can generate reach their, but ti be a successful brand you have to reach your consumer in other ways, not just on Twitter or Facebook. Plus, lets be honest, not everyone is on Twitter and Facebook. Younger audience do not use Facebook and more aged audiences do not use Twitter. Now using these platforms as a component of your mix is smart, and i state that in the article They are just not the only place to run your marketing. That being said - i love a good debate and i REALLY appreciate you all bringing your points of view to me. It helps me to se other sides of the discussion. Thank you!!

Green Bay — Whoever coined the phrase "no rest for the weary" obviously never considered what a bye in Week 10 could do for a beat-up National Football League team.
The week off comes at an opportune time for the Green Bay Packers, who have won three consecutive games to move to the top of the NFC North despite an outlandish rash of injuries that has impacted everything from roster decisions to practice structure to game preparation.
"My hope is the injury report goes from two pages to one," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Monday. "I am being sarcastic in a way, but I think this will really help us."
The time off presumably will give injured players such as receiver Donald Driver (thigh), cornerback Pat Lee (ankle), tackle Mark Tauscher (shoulder) and tight end Andrew Quarless (shoulder) sufficient time to heal.
"Hopefully, this week will help those guys get back and contribute," said Green Bay offensive coordinator Joe Philbin. "We're certainly going to need contributions from everybody."
Nines games into the season and two weeks from a rematch with the Minnesota Vikings that could go a long way toward determining the division title, the resilient Packers control their own destiny.
They are just one-half game behind the New York Giants and Atlanta Falcons for best record in the NFC and face both teams after the bye - the Falcons on Nov. 28 in Atlanta and the Giants on Dec. 26 at home.
There is much to like about how the Packers have gone about their business so far this season. McCarthy abhors excuses and the example he sets filters down through the assistant coaches and players:
• Season-ending injuries to five starters? Back-ups, waiver-wire acquisitions and free agents will have to step up. Period.
"It's been challenging through the first half of the season because we have had a lot of change," said defensive coordinator Dom Capers. "We've had a lot of players that haven't had quite the practice time you'd like them to have to get ready.
"But the one thing they have done is they've prepared well enough to go out and play at a pretty good level."
• Back-to-back overtime losses to fall to 3-3? There will be none of that woe-is-me stuff around here. So roll up your sleeves and get to work.
"I would definitely say the last three weeks the players and the coaches have stayed the course," McCarthy said. "Nobody blinked. I think it says a lot about the volume of character in our locker room. I'm very pleased with the growth we've had the last few weeks."
• An offense struggling to run the ball and a passing game hampered by perplexing stretches of inconsistency? Let's make the corrections and get it right.
"We're not looking to reshape the offense," Philbin said. "The offense is what it is but, hopefully, we can do a couple things to refine it and get it better."
Though their run-to-pass balanced, 415-yard performance Sunday night came in a 45-7 thrashing of a Dallas Cowboys team that had seemingly quit on its coach, there were no apologies forthcoming from the Packers. This is what good teams are supposed to do to bad ones.
All that aside, the road to Super Bowl XLV doesn't get easier for the Packers after the bye.
First up is Minnesota. If the Vikings beat the Chicago Bears on Sunday, they'll be 4-5 and right back in the division race. And a certain 41-year-old quarterback who limped off the Lambeau Field turf beaten (28-24) and booed on Oct. 24 will want to win the rematch as badly as any game he's ever played.
"What you did last week doesn't mean a darned thing this week," Capers said. "That will be the case when we come back from the bye week and get ready to go up to Minnesota because we know we're going to have a really tough, hard-fought game up there."
Though the Packers' defense has given up just one touchdown in the last two games, it will face some of the best quarterbacks in the game in the second half in the aforementioned Brett Favre, Matt Ryan (Atlanta) and Tom Brady (New England).
Will the decision to release veteran cornerback Al Harris and go with rookie Sam Shields as the nickel back and untested Brandon Underwood and Lee as backups come back to haunt Green Bay?
"Well, we feel (the young cornerbacks) are ascending," Capers said.
It helps having linebacker Clay Matthews on the field to wreak havoc. The second-year linebacker leads the league with 10½ sacks and is making a strong bid to become the Packers' second straight NFL defensive player of the year, following cornerback Charles Woodson in 2009.
"The things that you draw up have a tendency to work a lot better when you have those kinds of guys out there doing them," Capers said.
The Packers have outscored their last two opponents, 54-7. They have momentum with three consecutive victories. They will be rested following the bye week and will be as healthy as they've been in weeks.
"We've got a long ways to go," Capers said. "But I think if we keep the same kind of attitude and keep working we'll get better and better."

CFP: Secularism and Secularityposted by Joseph Blankholm
The specific order of difficulty of religionposted by Elizabeth Shakman Hurd
In a recent essay on equality and citizenship in a multi-religious Sudan, Noah Salomon describes a commitment among development experts to equality before the law as a "non-ideological" solution to the problems of post-conflict societies. Salomon disagrees with the consensus, suggesting rather that "law, the institutions which promote it, and our relationship to them enfold deep ideological and political commitments which require a whole host of presumptions about justice and how best to achieve it." While the rule of law is assumed to govern from a neutral public space that has transcended ideological and political particularities, the hegemony of rule of law discourse should not be taken as a mark of neutrality. It would be a mistake to remove the rule of law from conversations about power, history, difference, and governance.
The same may be said of secularism.
The theology blind spotposted by Kristina Stoeckl
I have always been puzzled by the fact that Charles Taylor starts his book A Secular Age with a long quote from Bede Griffith in order to describe a religious type of experience. It is the description of a scene experienced by the author as a school-boy: trees are blossoming, birds are singing, the author has the sensation that angels are present and that God is looking down on him. My question is: Why this quote? Why choose an image and a language of sunset, trees and birds in order to describe something for which the different languages of theology have worked out precise and elaborate codifications? I understand, of course, that in the context of the introduction to A Secular Age, Taylor uses this quote in order to make a soft claim to the human openness to experiences of transcendental nature. He uses the rest of the eight-hundred pages of the book to explore why it has become increasingly rare and difficult in our secular age to live these kinds of experiences, let alone to look for them in the context of an organized religious tradition. Most of us, he says, live our lives in an "immanent frame" and religious belief "has become one option among many."
The secular in non-Western societiesposted by Katerina Dalacoura
The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and the wider Islamist movement of which it is an instance, are in many ways a secular phenomenon. If we define "secularity" not only as the weakening of religious belief, but also as the idea that faith becomes one option among others; and "secularization" as the process of institutional and functional differentiation of modern state structures and the resultant marginalization of religious authority, then the Brotherhood, similarly to other Islamist entities, can be seen as a product of modernity and the "secular age." This transpires in two ways. First, for the Brotherhood, "Islam" is an identifiable set of beliefs that can be actively implemented and used as guidelines to reform society. Second, the parameters of the political order it proposes are defined by the context of the secular, modern nation-state.

The return of sacred historyposted by Ian Hunter
Brad Gregory's The Unintended Reformation is an expansively ambitious work. Indeed, its aim is to provide nothing less than an "explanation of why the Western world today is as it is." In this regard it sits comfortably alongside Charles Taylor's A Secular Age, with whose neo-Thomist structure, content, and purpose it has much in common. Both writers mix their Thomism with Hegelianism, treating the secular world as the form in which man confronts his own alienated or sublimated religious impulse. Lying behind this philosophical-historical theory of secularization is a conception of the world as the space in which its transcendent creator manifests himself sacramentally

Secularism and the invention of American evangelicalismposted by Daniel Steinmetz-Jenkins
Few books in the field of American religious history has received more attention over the few years than John Modern's Secularism in Antebellum America.
Confused parchments, infinite socialitiesposted by John Lardas Modern
Ambivalence, avoidance, hedging, delay—these are but some of my responses to Michael Warner's richly rendered provocation and response to my book Secularism in Antebellum America.
Indeed, was antebellum America secular?
To answer his title question definitively, yes or no, is to commit oneself to a vision of the present in which religion recedes into oblivion, or flowers, or does battle with its secular other. Definitive answers, moreover, serve a politics of normativity for they help determine the ideas, objects, and persons to be jettisoned, not to mention what views of the world become authoritative, which moral feelings count, and which ones become unaccounted for and forgotten.
Warner engages crucial work on secularity even as he considers the dissolution of the entrenched differential of the religious and the secular. Consequently, Warner's essay is also incitement for a renewed interrogation of the history of the difference between the religious and the secular and how that difference makes a difference in the lives of individuals—no less for historical actors than for the scholars who study them.
CFP: Secularism and Secularityposted by Per Smith
In November we published the proposal for a new American Academy of Religion program unit—Secularism and Secularity.
Secularism and secularityposted by Per Smith
Our proposal for the creation of a new program unit on "Secularisms and Secularities" within the American Academy of Religion (AAR) seeks to promote and enable more sustained interdisciplinary engagement among scholars of secularism and secularity and those researchers whose work has focused on variously conceived forms of "non-religion."
Was antebellum America secular?posted by Michael Warner
The question "Was Antebellum America Secular?" obviously depends on what one means by secular. Because the term is dialectical by nature and immanent to the struggles of the age, we cannot expect it to be a neutral analytic framework; like secularism or religion, it requires constant qualification to be of any analytic use. As Gauri Viswanathan has noted, in many polemical contexts "words like 'secular' and 'religious' have lost their descriptive value and function instead as signposts to given attitudes." It is almost impossible to see the question of my title without anticipating that a question of validity will be at stake.

Normative or empirical comparisons?posted by Veit Bader
Monika Wohlrab-Sahr confesses that she is not an expert with regard to "the value of normative theory for legal and constitutional concerns, and for political theory." She rightly thinks that "for empirically grounded comprehension and explanation of societal and political processes, institutions, and practices" the use of normative theory "is limited," but wrongly attacks normative theorizing as such and also misunderstands my proposal to "replace secularism." In this brief response, I focus on three issues: first, her criticism of "normative theory" and "value judgments"; second, her krypto-normative remarks on learning from empirical comparisons; and third, her construction of "four types of secularity."
Multiple secularities and their normativity as an empirical subjectposted by Monika Wohlrab-Sahr
It is difficult to come to an agreement when normative issues are concerned. Are the "moderate" forms of European secularisms flexible enough to include the Muslim population as well, as Tariq Modood suggests? Or are they "irretrievably flawed," as Rajeev Bhargava has argued, because they emerged from a context in which Christian confessions dominated and were not set up to include non-Christian minorities? Or should we get rid of the language of secularism altogether and instead refer to liberal-democratic constitutionalism as a meta-language, as Veit Bader has proposed?

The rise and fall of Christian rockposted by Charles Gelman
Meghan O'Gieblyn, writing for Guernica, forays into the history of CCM, or Christian contemporary music, which also happens to be that of her own adolescence, tracing the gradual displacement of the more overtly gospel elements of Christian pop, rock, and rap, as the Christian music industry, in its growing drive for "relevance," felt the squeeze of secular music, especially under the pincers the more profitable and marketing-savvy MTV. More than the fate of explicitly Christian popular music, this course, O'Gieblyn suggests, reflects the simultaneous devolution of a distinctly evangelical way of being in the world, which, stuck as it is between oppositional self-cloistering and secularizing dissipation, seems to O'Gieblyn to have tended toward to the latter.
Conference: Multiple Secularities and Global Interconnectednessposted by Charles Gelman

Religion as culture in "spiritual cultivation"posted by Chika Watanabe
Despite its roots in a religious entity, OISCA [The Organization for Industrial, Spiritual and Cultural Advancement] is registered as a non-religious group. Many of the staff express ambivalence about the religious aspects of OISCA's vision, staff composition, and history. In an avowedly "secular" Japanese society—an environment crafted in the immediate years after the Second World War by the U.S. Occupation, which was intent on eradicating the principles of "State Shinto" that were seen as the basis of an evil imperial regime—the term "religion" often triggers an allergic reaction. The terrorist attacks by the cult Aum Shinrikyō, in 1995, have not helped either. Wedged between a religious heritage and demands for secularity, OISCA offers a telling case in which religion and aid work entwine in complicated ways. How does the religious-secular boundary sharpen or blur in the trainings described as "person-making" (hitozukuri)? What kinds of persons are made in these activities?
Asecular revolutionposted by Hussein Ali Agrama
Why have I chosen the term "asecular," and not, say, "non-secular" or "post-secular," to describe the power manifested by these protests? The term "non-secular" is too easily confused with the notion of the religious. And unlike post-secularity, asecularity is not a temporal marker. It allows for the possibility that asecularity has, in different forms, always been with us, even from within the traditions from which state secularity arises. Explorations of post-secularity typically try to identify the emergence of new norms. Such attempts fail to recognize that the process of identifying and distinguishing secular from non-secular norms is part of what secularism is, and that this process is integral to its power. In contrast, the term asecularity specifies a situation not where norms are no longer secular, but where the questions against which such norms are adduced and contested as answers are no longer seen as necessary.

Disenchantment and the mind-dependence of the moralposted by Matthew Noah Smith
At the core of contemporary secularism is the denial of the existence of deities and the supernatural. There is only the natural, as described by our best sciences. This 'disenchantment' of the world seems to leave no place for value, and this exclusion of value from the world is, Akeel Bilgrami argues in his essay "What is Enchantment?" one of the central and damning failures of contemporary secularism.
How does secularism crowd values out of our picture of the world? If we accept a secularist metaphysics, then a necessary condition for the existence of values is that they can be accommodated by our best sciences. But our best sciences do not seem to have any room for values. Values make demands on human beings as actors—for instance, we ought to pursue the good, we ought to avoid the bad, and so on—but science describes no such free-standing "oughts."
"Women, Family, and Society in Islam and Catholicism"posted by Jessica Polebaum
The University of Notre Dame's Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies concluded the New York City launch of its new research initiative, Contending Modernities, this morning with a four-woman panel discussion on "Women, Family, and Society in Islam and Catholicism."
New blog on religion and modernityposted by Jessica Polebaum

Contending Modernitiesposted by The Editors
On November 18-19, dozens of scholars, religious leaders, business people, and intellectuals will gather in New York for the public launch of a new, multi-year project called "Contending Modernities: Catholic, Muslim, Secular." Based on the premise that Catholic, Muslim, and secular modernities each bring distinctive resources to the task of illuminating and resolving an array of characteristically modern problems, the project will examine the dynamic co-existence and competition of these "multiple modernities"—as well as the conflicts and contentions among them—with the aim of opening "new paths for constructive engagement between and among religion and secular people and institutions."
In anticipation of the launch of this new project, we asked a distinguished group of scholars: What is gained by framing research on religion, secularity, and modernity in terms of "multiple" or "contending" modernities, and what "new paths for constructive engagement" might such a frame afford?
Is there a secular body?posted by Charles Hirschkind
Is there a secular body? Or, in somewhat different terms, is there a particular configuration of the human sensorium—of sensibilities, affects, embodied dispositions—specific to secular subjects, and thus constitutive of what we mean by "secular society"? What intrigues me about this question is that, despite its apparent simplicity, the path toward an answer seems not at all clear. For example, are the scholarly sensibilities and the modes of affective attunement that find expression here elements of a secular habitus? What would be indicated by calling such expressive habits "secular"?

Something more mundaneposted by Jonathan Sheehan
Pondering a bit the posts so far in Notes from the field—those focused on the theoretical side of the secularization question, anyhow—it is not clear to me how much daylight there actually is between, say, Justin Reynolds's position and my own. My interest in my initial foray was not so much to liberate secularization or the secular for an appropriately contextualized present (i.e., one that has taken on board both the historical dynamics of modern religious transformation and the critiques of secular reason that abound in our contemporary moment). Rather, it was to offer some kind of hope for something else "after secularization," something other than the repetition of the same.
Not just a bill to support women's rights or secular valuesposted by Amanda Kaplan
On July 13, French parliament will vote on a bill to ban burqa-style veils in the name of gender equality and secular values. More than advocating for women's rights and a "state-sanctioned Islam that respects the secular state," this particular version of the bill also implicates "husbands and fathers who impose such veils on female family members."

Judith Butler and Cornel West in conversationposted by The Editors
In a recent symposium held by the Institute for Public Knowledge at NYU, the Social Science Research Council and the Humanities Institute at Stony Brook University, Judith Butler, Jürgen Habermas, Charles Taylor, and Cornel West came together to discuss the project of "rethinking secularism." Today we are posting audio and a transcript of the discussion that took place between Butler and West, moderated by Eduardo Mendieta, in which the two leading thinkers exchange thoughts on the ethics and limitations of citizenship, as well as temporality, memory, and the problematics of progress. (Listen to the paper presentations that preceded this discussion here and add your own voice to the discussion here.)
Wolterstorff's Bible-as-"frame"posted by Ward Blanton
In short, I agree with Wolterstorff that, while there is no theory in this extremely diverse array of biblical texts, readers may "nonetheless sense a certain rhetorical unity pervading the great bulk of these writings." We just disagree about what this narrative unity is. What if we said that the "red thread" (so to speak) which unites these tales is not a "frame" guaranteeing rights but rather the clear and repeated indication that humanity is faced with traumatic contingency, surprise, and uncertainty, and that they are at times (for this very reason) subjects of remarkable, even Promethean moments of invention?
Secular accounts: A response to Chambersposted by Nicholas Wolterstorff
I want to re-emphasize the structure of my discussion about secular accounts of human rights. The project of trying to ground human rights is the project of trying to find what it is about human beings that gives each and every one a dignity sufficient for their possessing human rights.
The fine texture: A response to Smithposted by Nicholas Wolterstorff
I will respond here to the three postings on The Immanent Frame by James K. A. Smith concerning my Justice: Rights and Wrongs.
Do good philosophers make good citizens?posted by Simone Chambers
Perhaps one might argue that Justice: Rights and Wrongs is not simply a contribution to a conversation among philosophers. It is also a contribution to a public dialogue about human rights and thus a conversation among citizens. Here one might argue that because human rights are the sorts of things that are instituted and enforced by governments, we need to approach the conversation from the point of view of what we could agree upon, and not from the point of view of establishing what we think is the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Justice and rights-talk in liberal democraciesposted by Kevin den Dulk
Nicholas Wolterstorff's Justice: Rights and Wrongs is a profoundly ambitious book. His normative aspiration is nothing less than "speaking up for the wronged of the world" by reorienting contemporary thinking on rights and justice. … But what about the practice of liberal democracy? What would it mean to govern so that members of a society can "enjoy the goods to which they have a right"? Justice is not a book of practical application, but it is clearly on Wolterstorff's mind.
Nicholas Wolterstorff's fear of the secularposted by Jonathon Kahn
The truly dynamic discussion in America today about religion and politics is not between "wall of separation" secularists and Christian political theologians attempting to turn American into a theocracy. Instead, the promising but fledgling discussion is between religious and non-religious democrats who are acutely aware of the two horns of this essential American dilemma. First, one has a right to express one's convictions in whatever terms one holds them, including religious terms; second, one cannot assume that one's fellow citizens' convictions are shaped by the same terms.
Rehabilitating religious rights talkposted by John Schmalzbauer
In December, we celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Many scholars are unaware of the religious underpinnings of the Declaration. […]
Justice and theismposted by David Johnston
The central claim of Nicholas Wolsterstorff's Justice: Rights and Wrongs is that justice is based on natural human rights that inhere in the worth of human beings, a worth that is bestowed on each and every human being through God's love. He contrasts this view of "justice as inherent rights" with an alternative notion of "justice as right order," the view that was espoused by pagan philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle and dominated philosophical thinking until relatively recent times.

The ruse of "secular humanism"posted by Michael Warner
Discussions of the secular can often be peculiarly remote. Whenever secularism is imagined as unbelief, or political neutrality, or an empty social space to be filled up with religious pluralism, it can be difficult to remember how it can also serve as a framework of corporeal experience and struggle. We are used to associating corporeal discipline and affect with religion, but not with the secular. So it might be excusable to begin with some personal reflection, not for the sake of autobiography but in order to tether analysis in some awareness of how the problem comes to have stakes. […]
The challenge of creating changeposted by John L. Esposito
Abdullahi An-Na'im's Islam and the Secular State has rightfully received a great deal of attention and commentary. A prominent Muslim scholar and human rights activist, he brings to bear an impressive scholarship and candor in addressing a pivotal and hotly contested issue in contemporary Islam. Although An-Na'im wishes to present his views from within the Islamic tradition, he also states early on that his arguments are not exegetical in nature and therefore do not aim to interpret traditional Islamic sources such as Qur'an, hadith, tafsir, or legal theory (usul al-fiqh). Rather, An-Na'im desires to provide an "interpretative framework" upon which more substantive arguments and analysis can be built in the future. This reliance on theory rather than on textual sources or theology is flawed if one expects to foster broad-based reform rather than be read and celebrated by a small elite Muslim and non-Muslim readership.
