Contrary to secular claims regarding the expulsion of religion,
modernity does in fact produce unprecedented forms whose
understanding re-casts the relationships between sociology and
theology. This book explores 'irruptions' which disturb modernity
from without: fragments or deposits of history that have spectral -
or 'noir' - properties, whether ruins, collective memories, or the
dark Gothic or the Satanic as manifested in culture. The study
investigates what irrupts from these depths to unsettle our
understanding of modernity so as to reveal its theological roots. A
ground-breaking and extensive work, Sociological Noir explores
literature, history and theology to re-cast the sociological
imagination in ways that inspire reflection on new configurations
in modernity. As such, it will have wide-spread appeal to
sociologists and social theorists with interests in religion,
theology and debates on postsecularism and culture.
