Abstract

Fundamentalisnn and Globalism. The religious traditions of Ju-daism, Christianity and Islam are all today undergoing known ge-nerically as «fundamentalist». Although this term is impossible any longer to define precisely, and although there are obvious diffe-rences between the movements to which the label is attached, nu-merous common features, including the original defining feature of fundamentalism —namely the idea of the inerrancy of a sacred text— remain. Together, these considerations justify an interpretaron of contemporary religious transformations in a common fra-mework of analysis, especially when account is taken of their global character. This paper develops such an interpretation by focusing on two aspects of the globalism of fundamentalist movements —their transnational reach and the role played by globalism in their imaginary projections across time and space.
