Religion: Material Dynamics is a lively resource for thinking about
religious materiality and the material study of religion.
Deconstructing and reconstructing religion as material categories,
social formations, and mobile circulations, the book explores the
making, ordering, and circulating of religious things. The book is
divided into three sections: Part One revitalizes basic
categories-animism and sacred, space and time-by situating them in
their material production and testing their analytical viability.
Part Two examines religious formations as configurations of power
that operate in material cultures and cultural economies and are
most clearly shown in the power relations of colonialism and
imperialism. Part Three explores the material dynamics of
circulation through case studies of religious mobility, change, and
diffusion as intimate as the body and as vast as the oceans. Each
chapter offers insightful orientations and surprising possibilities
for studying material religion. Exploring the material dynamics of
religion from poetics to politics, David Chidester provides an
entry into the study of material religion that will be welcomed by
students and specialists in religious studies, anthropology, and
history.
