I artiklen presenteras begreppet Existentiella konfigurationer som ett alterantiv till begreppet livsåskådning inom ramen för religionskunskapsämnet i en svensk kontext. Gustavsson skriver:
"The aim of the article is to introduce the concept of existential configurations as an alternative to the concept of ‘livsåskådning’ in a Swedish context. The article argues that the ability of students to be active partners in creating the new multicultural or intercultural European reality will grow if we give them access to a language and to concepts that enable them to relate their own meaning-making to other people’s understanding of life. Speaking in terms of existential configurations creates the opportunity for teachers’ professional capacity to grow and gives all students the space “to develop a personal attitude to life and an understanding of how they and others are thinking and living” as stated by the curriculum (Swedish National Agency for Education, 2018). In other words, the article argues that the concept will give all students the space and opportunity to find “room for ‘conversation’ and ‘negotiation’” across “religious and cultural divides” (Jackson, 1997, p. 91; 2014).
