Affect and Emotion in Multi-Religious Secular Societies Paperback / softback
Edited by Christian von Scheve, Anna Berg, Meike Haken, Nur Ural
Part of the Routledge Studies in Affective Societies series
Paperback / softback
Description
Emotions have moved center stage in many contemporary debates over religious diversity and multicultural recognition.
As in other contested fields, emotions are often one-sidedly discussed as quintessentially subjective and individual phenomena, neglecting their social and cultural constitution.
Moreover, emotionality in these debates is frequently attributed to the religious subject alone, disregarding the affective anatomy of the secular.
This volume addresses these shortcomings, bringing into conversation a variety of disciplinary perspectives on religious and secular affect and emotion.
The volume emphasizes two analytical perspectives: on the one hand, chapters take an immanent perspective, focusing on subjective feelings and emotions in relation to the religious and the secular.
On the other hand, chapters take a relational perspective, looking at the role of affect and emotion in how the religious and the secular constitute one another.
These perspectives cut across the three main parts of the volume: the first one addressing historical intertwinements of religion and emotion, the second part emphasizing affects, emotions, and religiosity, and the third part looking at specific sensibilities of the secular.
The thirteen chapters provide a well-balanced composition of theoretical, methodological, and empirical approaches to these areas of inquiry, discussing both historical and contemporary cases.
