| Résumé: | This article discusses ways to analyze critically the concept of tradition. Tradition is often synonymous with religion. This points to ideological dimensions of religion’s perceived relationship to the past. A discussion of "the invention of tradition" leads to three methodological recommendations for the critical stufy of tradition: tradition is relational, framed with pairs of opposing concepts; it is seen as independent from intentional agency; and its relation to the past is a strategic and ideological claim, not as an inherent feature of religions. Two examples, Candomblé and Perennialism, exemplify the contrast between religious/essentialist and critical/historical views. Essentialist perspectives see tradition as standing outside of history, where the academic study of religion/s takes the opposite view, investigating processes of inception, transmission, reception, reconfiguration and (re)invention of traditions in specific contexts. The critical study of tradition analyzes not tradition itself but dicourses about it. |
