Secular Societies, Spiritual Selves? is the first volume to address
the gendered intersections of religion, spirituality and the
secular through an ethnographic approach. The book examines how
'spirituality' has emerged as a relatively 'silent' category with
which people often signal that they are looking for a way to
navigate between the categories of the religious and the secular,
and considers how this is related to gendered ways of being and
relating. Using a lived religion approach the contributors analyse
the intersections between spirituality, religion and secularism in
different geographical areas, ranging from the Netherlands,
Portugal and Italy to Canada, the United States and Mexico. The
chapters explore the spiritual experiences of women and their
struggle for a more gender equal way of approaching the divine, as
well as the experience of men and of those who challenge binary
sexual identities advocating for a queer spirituality. This volume
will be of interest to anthropologists and sociologists as well as
scholars in other disciplines who seek to understand the role of
spirituality in creating the complex gendered dynamics of modern
societies.
