Auf Grundlage von Feld-, statistischen und historischen Daten zeigt Wacquant, dass die Ruckbildung der innerstadtischen Gebiete in den Vereinigten Staaten im Anschluss an die 1960er Jahre nicht durch die Entstehung einer underclass erklart werden kann, sondern durch den gemeinsamen Ruckzug von Markt und Staat, der von einer staatlichen Politik der Rassentrennung und...

Fundamental Concepts in Max Weber's Sociology of Religion
ISBN: 9781137472175 / Angielski / Twarda / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this volume, Christopher Adair-Toteff elucidates the meanings and functions of a number of fundamental concepts in Max Weber's sociology of religion. While Weber is widely recognized as one of the founders of the field of the discipline, there remain many disagreements about the nature of his investigations. Because sociology of religion is still a relatively new discipline, there many questions about its scope and methods linger. For example, it is not sufficiently clear what, exactly, Weber meant when he referred to 'world religions, ' and it is not completely evident how his Protestant...

ISBN: 9781138951730 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The study of the ideas and practices associated with occultism is a rapidly growing branch of contemporary scholarship.

Animism and the Question of Life
ISBN: 9781138952904 / Angielski / Miękka / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The central purpose of this book is to help change the terms of the debate on animism, a classic theme in anthropology. It combines some of the finest ethnographic material currently available (including firsthand research on the Chachi of Ecuador) with an unusually broad geographic scope (the Americas, Asia, and Africa). Edward B. Tylor originally defined animism as the first phase in the development of religion. The heyday of cultural evolutionism may be over, but his basic conception is commonly assumed to remain valid in at least one respect: there is still a broad consensus that...

The Handbook of Contemporary Animism
ISBN: 9781138928978 / Angielski / Miękka / 544 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Animism is an important part of many religions - from Shinto, Hinduism and Buddhism to Paganism and a range of indigenous religions - which connects the spiritual and material and holds that humans might not be unique in possessing souls or in being intentional agents. Over recent decades, research into animism has broadened its scope to consider, at one end, the vibrant roles of objects in human lives and, at the other, the possible similarities between humans and other species. "The Handbook of Contemporary Animism" brings together an international team of scholars to examine the full range...

Muslimism in Turkey and Beyond: Religion in the Modern World

Muslimism, a term identified by Neslihan Cevik in this book, refers to a new Islamic form in Turkey at the turn of the century. Muslimism neither rejects nor submits to modernity but actively engages it through Islamic categories and practices. Cevik conceptualizes "cultural sites of hybridity" in which people use Islam to shape their practice of modernity. These include settings ranging from Islamic fashion to entrepreneurship, civic associations, and political formations that reflect a new Islamic liberal political ethos. Through observations and interviews, Cevik documents Muslimist...

What have the concepts of modernity and secularisation meant for Islamic tradition, culture and society? How have the discourses which surround all of these issues influenced Muslim self-perception and individual identity? There have been many attempts to describe and analyse the problem that the encounter between Islam and modernity creates in the Middle East. But few have been able so effectively to explore the impact this has on the idea and reality of religious identity and individual religiosity. Maha Habib examines modernity from this angle, offering a philosophical and literary...

The Law of Possession: Ritual, Healing, and the Secular State
ISBN: 9780190275747 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rituals combining healing with spirit possession and court-like proceedings are found around the world and throughout history. For example, a person suffers from an illness that cannot be cured, and in order to be healed he performs a ritual involving prosecution and defense, a judge and witnesses. Divine beings give evidence through human oracles, spirits possess their human victims and are exorcized, and local gods intervene to provide healing and justice. Such practices seem to be the very antithesis of modernity and many modern, secular states have systematically attempted to...

Religion and Innovation: Antagonists or Partners?
ISBN: 9781472591012 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is often assumed that religion is the backward-looking servant of tradition and the status quo, utterly opposed to the new. This refrain in so much of recent polemical writing has permeated the public mind and can even be found in academic publications. But recent scholarship increasingly shows that this view is a gross simplification - that, in fact, religious beliefs and practices have contributed to significant changes in human affairs: political and legal, social and artistic, scientific and commercial. This is certainly not to say that religion is always innovative. But the...
