Serie:
Gendering the study of religion in the social sciences
Inhalt:
"Taking the notion of embodiment as a starting point, this volume maps the interconnecting relationships between religion, gender and sexuality. The chapters highlight how the body - its location, the narratives that surround it, its movement and negotiations - is central to understanding these multifaceted relationships. The contributors recognise the ways in which gender and sexuality is crucial to how we embody religion and encourage a more complex and nuanced understanding of embodied religion. The material is organised according to three central themes: 1) the relationship between the religious and the secular; 2) power, regulation and resistance; and 3) the symbolism of gendered bodies. Cutting across a range of disciplinary perspectives, Embodying Religion, Gender and Sexuality will be relevant to sociology, anthropology, gender and sexuality studies, theology and religious studies"--
