-## Key ideas for this week ##
+## New questions of religion and politics ##

+* Millennialism and militant subjectivity
-* Cargo cult or Rehabilitation Scheme? (Lawrence 1989)
+* Christian politics in the Pacific: Posttraditionalism?
-* Rheinhold Niebuhr: Church and sect

-## Comments appreciated ##
+## Anthropology and religion ##
-This class will be taught again in Sem 1 2016. Your thoughts on this unit and ways to improve it are really helpful. You can fill out a "Unit of Study Survey" online at the Institute for Teaching and Learning web site. Watch your email for information on this. I also welcome feedback in any form.
+* Religion and collective consciousness
+* Religion as a type of social action
+* Religious experience and subjectivity
+* Religion as moral practice
+* Religious subjectivity and ideologies of communication
+## What if there is no such category as religion? ##
+* Are things we label as 'religion' too diverse to have anything in common?
