Abstract:

The question of the social function of religion is undoubtedly one of the most important questions at the level of global social ontology. In this context, the sociology of religion positions itself as of the most important branches within contemporary sociology. Bearing in mind the events that mark the current global political situation, especially the Russian Federation’s aggression against Ukraine, the need to rethink the relationship between ethnicity and religion as a special expression of the crisis of secularity within the limits of “radicalized consequences of modernity” further intensifies. The paper is composed of two parts: 1) Reflecting on the central theoretical issues in the contemporary sociology of religion from the perspective of the new geopolitical constellation and its repercussions on Bosnia and Herzegovina and 2) Pointing out the tribal and “anti-social” character of society in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with an emphasis on the obscure link between ethnic and religious identity, treated as a special dimension of cultural trauma. The paper points to the dark background of the normative and substantial disintegration of Bosnian society.
