Beschreibung
Studies in Religion and the Everyday is a collection of essays addressing the contours of religious beliefs and practices in the context of everyday life in India. Events and processes in contemporary India-especially post the 1990s-have contributed to distinct modes of articulating religious practices. This volume is an attempt to historicize-and problematize-the categorization of religion as a universally held and analytically distinct feature of humanlife and seeks to understand the conditions historical, political, discursive and processes of authorization under which a particular set of practices, values, and dispositions constitutes the 'religious' at a specific point in time. By bringing together studies that draw from diverse methodological andepistemological approaches, the book will serve as a useful introduction to religion in India for the general reader and as an indispensable resource for students and researchers. The volume presents fresh perspectives on existing fields of study such as the city, capital, minorities, secularization, and the state no longer seen as distinct from religion but actively co-produced with religion in the context of the theoretical rubric of the everyday thereby marking a departure from approachingthe question of religion solely through the lens of identity and conflict.
