How might we best understand the relationship between the vibrant
religious landscapes we see in many cities and contemporary urban
social processes? Through case studies drawn from around the world,
contributors explore the ways in which these processes interact in
cities. This book argues that religious events – including
rituals, processions, and festivals – are not only choreographies
of sacred traditions, but they are also creative disruptions that
reveal how urban cultural hierarchies are experienced and
contested. Exposing the power dynamics behind these events, this
book shows how performative uses of urban space serve to
destabilize dominant genealogies and lineages around urban
identities just as they lay claims to cultural supremacy or
heritage. Through exploring the affective disruptions and political
controversies caused by religious events, the contributors engage
theoretical discussions in urban studies, the sociology of religion
and the ethnography of ritual. This book is a significant
contribution to understanding emerging patterns in contemporary
religion and also for theories related to heritagization,
eventization, and urbanization.
