Hussein Ali Agrama

In this essay, I discuss the reports and results of recent official studies of UFOs, and argue they may pose a challenge to contemporary science, religion, and secularity. While the question of UFOs has been well addressed with respect to religion, this essay, which is also a report on current research, highlights the challenge to secularity and some of its constitutive practices. It aims to show how current knowledge on UFOs renders both science and religion uncanny, placing them in a domain where they become irreducibly strange while unshakably familiar, pushing us to (re)consider some of the secular premises of the social sciences (e.g., anthropology) and the humanities (e.g., religious studies), and the possible need for new analytics.

安全性、同步性和不可思议的科学:考虑和挑战

在这篇文章中,我讨论了最近 UFO 官方研究的报告和结果,并认为它们可能对当代科学、宗教和世俗构成挑战。虽然 UFO 的问题在宗教方面得到了很好的解决,但这篇文章也是一份关于当前研究的报告,强调了对世俗性及其一些构成性实践的挑战。它旨在展示当前关于不明飞行物的知识如何使科学和宗教变得不可思议,将它们置于一个领域,在这个领域中,它们变得无比陌生但又不可动摇地熟悉,促使我们(重新)考虑社会科学的一些世俗前提(例如,人类学) ) 和人文学科(例如宗教研究),以及对新分析的可能需求。
