New Religious Studies in Quebec Since 1944 : A Literature Review
|
| Abstract |
The authors points out that "the history of the “scientific study” of new religious movements in Quebec since the 1940s reveals two fascinating phenomena. First, the approach to studying these small, unconventional upstart faiths in Quebec has been, initially and persistently, “Catholic-driven”. It took several decades before the social-scientific approach became the standard. Secondly, the studies of new religions tended to fall neatly into two segregated linguistic academic communities—what novelist Hugh MacLennan dubbed the “two solitudes”—with Francophone and Anglophone scholars relentlessly ignoring each other’s work until the mid-1980s."
