Series Statement: Bloomsbury studies in material religion

Content: "From miniatures and monuments to Bible theme parks and attractions, this book explores how and why scriptural text is materialized in various forms and turned into physical, experiential, and choreographed environments. Drawing on archival and ethnographic data, case studies from the Unites States are contextualized globally, with significant references to cases in Israel, Brazil, Canada, Italy, U.K., Philippines, and Germany. Bielo shows that the sensory imperative of religion demands that faith must be experienced, not simply known cognitively or performed discursively. He argues that materializing the Bible generates intimacy with scripture, that can be experienced in multiple sensory configurations - just as the Bible is interpretively open it is also experientially open. Divided into three parts, the book has 20 short essays that can be read in any order, each with one or two case studies. Denominations explored include Protestants, Catholics, Mormons, and Jewish communities. An appendix provides a guide to the Biblio attractions mentioned, and additional images and videos can be found at www.materializingthebible.com."

Content: "What happens when the written words of biblical scripture are transformed into experiential, choreographed environments? To answer this question, anthropologist James Bielo explores a diverse range of practices and places that "materialize the Bible": gardens, theme parks, shrines, museums, memorials, exhibitions, theatrical productions, and other forms of replication. Integrating ethnographic, archival, and mass media data, case studies focus primarily on U.S. Christianity from the late 19th century to the present. Composed as 20 short chapters that may be read in any order, the book is divided into three sections. Section I, "Variations on Replication," examines examples that recontextualize elements from the (actual or imagined) biblical past. Section II, "The Power of Nature," turns to the natural world associated with Christian scripture and how it is mobilized as a privileged media. Section III, "Choreographing Experience," examines lived interactions with the affordances of materializing the Bible. Through processes of circulation, design, and classification, these chapters demonstrate how these performances are oriented and engineered. Materializing the Bible is a comparative and thoroughly interdisciplinary work, engaging scholarship in material religion, the anthropology of religion, pilgrimage and tourism studies, folklore, linguistic anthropology, and social theory. Bielo argues that materializing the Bible works as an authorizing practice to intensify intimacies with scripture and circulate potent ideologies. Performed through the sensory experience of bodies, physical technologies, and infrastructures of place, Bielo illustrates how this phenomenon is always, ultimately, about expressions of power."

Content: On 20 September 2001, in an address to a Joint Session of Congress and the American people, President George W Bush declared a 'war on terror'. The concept of the 'war on terror' has proven to be both an attractive and a potent rhetorical device. It has been adopted and elaborated upon by political leaders around the world, particularly in the context of military action in Afghanistan and Iraq. But use of the rhetoric has not been confined to the military context. The 'war on terror' is a domestic one, also, and the phrase has been used to account for broad criminal legislation, sweeping agency powers and potential human rights abuses throughout much of the world. This collection seeks both to draw on and to engage critically with the metaphor of war in the context of terrorism. It brings together a group of experts from Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, France and Germany who write about terrorism from a variety of disciplinary perspectives including international law and international relations, public and constitutional law, criminal law and criminology, legal theory, and psychology and law
