This volume examines several theoretical concerns of embodiment in
the context of Asian religious practice. Looking at both subtle and
spatial bodies, it explores how both types of embodiment are
engaged as sites for transformation, transaction and transgression.
Collectively bridging ancient and modern conceptualizations of
embodiment in religious practice, the book offers a complex mapping
of how body is defined. It revisits more traditional, mystical
religious systems, including Hindu Tantra and Yoga, Tibetan
Buddhism, Bon, Chinese Daoism and Persian Sufism and distinctively
juxtaposes these inquiries alongside analyses of racial, gendered,
and colonized bodies. Such a multifaceted subject requires a
diverse approach, and so perspectives from phenomenology and
neuroscience as well as critical race theory and feminist theology
are utilised to create more precise analytical tools for the
scholarly engagement of embodied religious epistemologies. This a
nuanced and interdisciplinary exploration of the myriad issues
around bodies within religion. As such it will be a key resource
for any scholar of Religious Studies, Asian Studies, Anthropology,
Sociology, Philosophy, and Gender Studies.
