Abstract
Scholarly uses of terms such as ‘fundamentalism’ are affected by the dynamics of language moving through expansions of space (globalization) and time (modernization). Terms assumed to be static drift from their geographical and cultural referents, requiring constant adjustment and discussion, particularly as ‘first world’ nations deal with the unexpected persistence of religion. This chapter suggests two linked solutions: first, learning some lessons from the social capital literature in differentiating uses of the term according to their spatial and temporal references; and secondly, providing further differentiation by recognizing that ‘fundamentalism’ means different things depending on where the observer is standing. ‘Self-identifying fundamentalists’ is a category identical to ‘fundamentalist as categorized by criteria’, and neither is identical with the more general use of the term in its politicized usage in the fractured discourse of the West. When considering the ‘future of fundamentalism’, both as a term and as a collection of phenomena, it is important to ask who is doing the defining, and why.
