Descriere magazin:
Description This is the first reader to gather primary sources from influential theorists of the late 20th and early 21st centuries in one place, presenting the wide-ranging and nuanced theoretical debates occurring in the field of religious studies. Each chapter focuses on a major theorist and contains: - an introduction contextualizing their key ideas - one or two selections representative of the theorist\'s innovative methodological approach(es) - discussion questions to extend and deepen reader engagement Divided in three sections, the first part includes foundational comparative debates: - Mary Douglas\'s articulation of purity and impurity - Phyllis Trible\'s methods of reading sacred texts - Wendy Doniger\'s comparative mythology - Catherine Bell\'s reimagining of religious and secular ritual The second part focuses on methodological particularity: - Alice Walker\'s use of narrative - Charles Long\'s critique of Eurocentricism - Caroline Walker Bynum\'s emphasis on gender and materiality The third section focuses on expanding boundaries: - Gloria Anzald a\'s work on borders and languages - Judith Butler\'s critique of gender and sex norms - Saba Mahmood\'s expansion on the critique of colonialism\'s secularizing demands Reflecting the cultural turn and extending the existing canon, this is the anthology instructors have been waiting for.
