Jurnal Dekonstruksi: Jurnal Filsafat, 2021

This is an effort to discuss religion philosophically. It tries to ask the very essence of religion, and then criticizes it. It says that the essence of religion is sacred, belief, teaching and promise, which is hold by human being, personally or socially. It criticizes the content of religion. It signifies religion’s sacred as a cultural product and religion’s teaching as ethics. It recommends religion’s belief begins from thinking, and anticipates religion’s promises become an absolute truth claim.

The aim of this session is to explore what happened to religious sites when they (or a particular cult or part of a sanctuary) were de-sacralised, profaned and abandoned. Especially in Late Antiquity, many cult places were abandoned, but did they just fade away? Apart from the architectural remains, a particularly interesting question relates to the fate of the religious material culture, such as cult figurines and statues, altars, votive o erings, sacrificial instruments, and priestly garments. Some sites clearly show the deliberate deposition of such artefacts, such as the large metal deposition of carnices, a bronze horse and many more items at the La Tène sanctuary of Tintignac, or the deposition of Roman-period votive and ritual objects, for example from Bury St Edmunds, notably priestly regalia. Sometimes only a part of a sanctuary might be involved, for example when the cult of a particular god or goddess ceased, like Jupiter Dolichenus in the mid-third century CE: did people still consider his cult statues and altars to be 'sacred'? The aim is to investigate various sites from di erent periods to explore what happened to a cult and its material culture once the worship ceased. What is the meaning behind the depositions of religious items: burial or merely temporary storage? What rituals were involved in this process? It also raises the question of what alternative treatments we can identify, such as the destruction and recycling of de-sacralised artefacts. This session is less interested in the widely studied transformation of 'pagan' sites into Christian churches, but focuses on the afterlife of a religious place, cult and religious material culture.
