Bridging the gap between cognition and culture, this handbook
explores both social scientific and humanities approaches to
understanding the physical processes of religious life, tradition,
practice, and belief. It reflects the cultural turn within the
study of religion and puts theory to the fore, moving beyond
traditional theological, philosophical, and ethnographic
understandings of the aesthetics of religion. Editors Anne Koch and
Katharina Wilkens bring together research in cultural studies,
cognitive studies, material religion, religion and the arts, and
epistemology. Questions of identity, gender, ethnicity, and
postcolonialism are discussed throughout. Key topics include
materiality, embodiment, performance, popular/vernacular art and
space to move beyond a sensory understanding of aesthetics.
Emerging areas of research are covered, including secular
aesthetics and the aesthetic of spirits. This is an important
contribution to theory and method in the study of religion, and is
grounded in research that has been taking place in Europe over the
past 20 years. Case studies are drawn from around the world with
contributions from scholars based in Europe, the USA, and
Australia. The book is illustrated with over 40 color images and
features a foreword from Birgit Meyer.
