From a South African Passion Play to Turkish Sufi tourism, from
contemporary street preaching in America to public Hindu rites in
India, from cloistered prayer in 17th century France to the queer
politics of 'the closet' today, Performing Religion in Public
brings together an international array of voices that grapple with
the important role of religious performance in our secular public
lives. Because traditional notions of the public sphere have
emphasized rational discourse in a secular setting, religion has
often been excluded. But religious life is not impersonal argument;
rather, it is passionately performed, crossing boundaries between
public and private, the personal and the political, and claiming a
significant role in modern democracies, from everyday cultural
interactions to political advocacy. By focusing on the performative
nature of both religion and publics, this timely volume offers a
fresh and fruitful re-conception of the relationship between
religion and the public sphere.
