In my earlier work published in French about 10 years before Agamben’s Sacrament of Language, I had already put productively to a new use Benveniste’s etymologies of Indo-European concepts like religion, faith, belief, and the oath (Doja 2000a). The linguistic and anthropological arguments are further taken up in a comparative discussion of local values of social, moral, legal, and religious understandings in the Albanian tradition. They demonstrate again how the conceptual unity of religious, moral, legal, and political community of speech, faith, oath, honor, and kinship is restored in the workings of Albanian culture and society (Doja 2011). Overall, I explore the evolution of religious meanings, concurrently as a subjective scruple and an objective attachment, moral constraint and social displacement, inner disposition and external practice of a body of traditions, moral values, and social norms. In particular, Benveniste’s investigations are further grounded in the theoretical considerations of speech acts and structural anthropological assumptions, which are paralleled in many ways by both critical and cognitive approaches to religion. The aim is to show how systems of conceptual distinctions are reorganized and how doctrinal and ideological dispositives are renewed.
