Vol. 9 No. 1 (2025)

This issue features seven original research articles authored by seventeen scholars representing eleven institutions across five countries: Indonesia, Belarus, Russia, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The contributions explore a wide spectrum of themes, ranging from local wisdom frameworks for preventing social conflict in multicultural Bali and comparative agrarian mythologies in Eurasia, to community-based strategies for countering radicalism and semiotic readings of piety and resistance among Hijabers mountaineers. Other studies examine the transformation of sacred spaces into sites of religious tourism, local traditions as mechanisms of interfaith harmony in Toraja, the cultural hybridity of the Gendong Dance, and the institutionalization of religion and syncretism in ancient China. Together, these works highlight the dynamic interplay of religion, culture, and social change in both historical and contemporary contexts.
