Resilience in Religion and Spirituality”: DFG-FOR 2686 including theology, philosophy, theological ethics/moral psychology, psychosomatic medicine/psychotherapy, palliative medicine, spiritual care. We combine theoretical foundations with empirical studies, both being integrated into an applied research framework. Goals: A. comparative analysis of disciplinarily specific discursive practices and so-called “Resilience Narratives”, i.e., of the concept, meaning, theoretical framings, narrative construction, metaphors and manifestations of resilience in religion and spirituality. B. Deepened analysis of the discipline-specific textual bases (primary texts, interviews, diagnostic tools, etc.) focused on aspects of religion and spirituality that concentrate on crisis, ambiguity and negativity. The goal is to test and critically check previously developed definitions of resilience, factors relevant in determining resilience, and the development of an interdisciplinary model of resilience.
