Abstract
"This essay examines the role of "constructionism" in the academic study of religion. It argues that the use of this theoretical perspective have had little value for three reasons. (1) Misinterpreted as necessarily relativistic, it has served as a superficial foil for theological and phenomenological realisms. (2) Instead of specifying what is constructed from what and how, the theory has been taken for granted rather than clarified. As a result, the language of "construction" adds little, given that most work in the field already places religious phenomena in their contingent social context". ["Este ensaio examina o papel do "construcionismo" nas ciências da religião. Ele argumenta que o esta perspectiva teórica teve pouco valor por três razões: (1) Interpretada erradamente como necessariamente relativística, ela serve como contraste superficial dos realismos teológico e fenomenológico. (2) Em vez de especificar o que é construído de que e como, a teoria é dada por certa e não clarificada. Como resultado, a linguagem da "construção" acrescenta pouco, dado que a maior parte dos trabalhos no campo já colocam fenômenos religiosos nos seus contextos sociais contingentes".]
