ISBN: 9780199860326 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Bringing the Sacred Down to Earth, Corinne Dempsey offers a comparative study of Hindu and Christian, Indian and Euro/American earthbound religious expressions. She argues that official religious, political, and epistemological systems tend to deny sacred access and expression to the general populace, and are abstracted and disembodied in ways that make them irrelevant to if not neglectful of earthly realities. Working at cross purposes with these systems, attending to material needs, conferring sacred access to a wider public, and imbuing land and bodies with sacred meaning and...

ISBN: 9780195130287 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Kerala Christian Sainthood is an ethnography-based study that celebrates the multi-vocal function of saints.

The Goddess Lives in Upstate New York: Breaking Convention and Making Home at a North American Hindu Temple
ISBN: 9780195187304 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Goddess Lives in Upstate New York is a profile of a flourishing Hindu temple in the town of Rush, New York. The temple, established by a charismatic nonbrahman Sri Lankan Tamil known as Aiya, stands out for its combination of orthodox ritual meticulousness and socioreligious iconoclasm. The vitality with which devotees participate in ritual themselves and their ready access to the deities contrasts sharply with ritual activities at most North American Hindu temples, where (following the usual Indian custom) ritual is performed only by priests and access to the highly sanctified...
