{"product_id":"secularism-and-religion-making-9780199782925","title":"Secularism and Religion-Making","description":"This book conceives of religion-making broadly as the multiple ways in which social and cultural phenomena are configured and reconfigured within the matrix of a world-religion discourse that is historically and semantically rooted in particular Western and predominantly Christian\u003cbr\u003eexperiences, knowledges, and institutions. It investigates how religion is universalized and certain ideas, social formations, and practices rendered religious are thus integrated in and subordinated to very particular - mostly liberal-secular - assumptions about the relationship between history, \u003cbr\u003epolitics, and religion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe individual contributions, written by a new generation of scholars with decisively interdisciplinary approaches, examine the processes of translation and globalization of historically specific concepts and practices of religion - and its dialectical counterpart, the secular - into new contexts.\u003cbr\u003eThis volume contributes to the relatively new field of thought that aspires to unravel the thoroughly intertwined relationships between religion and secularism as modern concepts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Markus Dressler, Arvind Mandair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199782925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarkus Dressler \u003c\/strong\u003ehas published extensively on Turkish Alevism.
