| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article explores the construction of discursive actions and positioning of adult Israeli Jews who are renouncing their affiliation with religious Judaism and are seeking help in a secular computer-mediated ‘troubles forum’. Adopting the perspective of data-oriented discourse analysis and using content and figurative language analyses, the article shows that all participants, men and women, are performing a forbidden discursive action from the perspective of the religious world when they voice their emotions, thinking about and coping with the complex process of secularisation. It also shows that the participants frequently oscillate between the religious and secular worlds even when they have joined the secular society. |
