Language of Disenchantment: Protestant Literalism and Colonial Discourse in British India
ISBN: 9780199925018 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Language of Disenchantment explores the ways in which Protestant ideas concerning language influenced British colonial attitudes toward and proposals to reform Hinduism. Protestant literalism, mediated by the textual economy of the printed book, inspired colonial critiques of Indian mythological, ritual, linguistic, and legal traditions. Central to these developments was the transportation of the Christian opposition of monotheism and polytheism or idolatry into the domain of language. Polemics against verbal idolatry that had been applied previously to Catholic and sectarian...

Explaining Mantras: Ritual, Rhetoric, and the Dream of a Natural Language in Hindu Tantra
ISBN: 9780415966351 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Explaining Mantras explores the intersection of poetry and magic in the mantras or verbal formulas of Hindu Tantra. The author reveals how mantras work in light of both the esoteric tradition of Tantra and a general semiotic theory of ritual. Mantras mimic the act of sexual reproduction and the cosmic cycle of creation and destruction. A mantra that imitates creation is believed to be more creative and effective in producing a real-world result. Drawing from linguistics, semiotics, anthropology and philosophy, as well as the history of religions, the author argues that mantras and other...

Mediation and Immediacy: A Key Issue for the Semiotics of Religion
ISBN: 9783110690323 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Religion, like any other domain of culture, is mediated through symbolic forms and communicative behaviors, which allow the coordination of group conduct in ritual and the representation of the divine or of tradition as an intersubjective reality. While many traditions hold out the promise of immediate access to the divine, or to some transcendent dimension of experience, such promises depend for their realization as well on the possibility of mediation, which is necessarily conducted through channels of communication and exchange, such as prayers or sacrifices. An understanding of such modes...

Narratives of Disenchantment and Secularization: Critiquing Max Weber's Idea of Modernity
ISBN: 9781350327757 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What does it really mean to be modern? The contributors to this collection offer critical attempts both to re-read Max Weber's historical idea of disenchantment and to develop further his understanding of what the contested relationship between modernity and religion represents. The approach is distinctive because it focuses on disenchantment as key to understanding those aspects of modern society and culture that Weber diagnosed. This is in opposition to approaches that focus on secularization, narrowly construed as the rise of secularism or the divide between religion and politics, and...
