This book explores the hopeful possibility that emerging
geographies of postsecularity are able to contribute significantly
to the understanding of how common life may be shared, and how
caring for the common goods of social justice, well-being,
equality, solidarity and respect for difference may be imagined and
practiced. Drawing on recent geographic theory to recalibrate ideas
of the postsecular public sphere, the authors develop the case for
postsecularity as a condition of being that is characterised by
practices of receptive generosity, rapprochement between religious
and secular ethics, and a hopeful re-enchantment and re-shaping of
desire towards common life. The authors highlight the contested
formation of ethical subjectivity under neoliberalism and the
emergence of postsecularity within this process as an
ethically-attuned politics which changes relations between religion
and secularity and animates novel, hopeful imaginations,
subjectivities, and praxes as alternatives to neoliberal norms. The
spaces and subjectivities of emergent postsecularity are examined
through a series of innovative case studies, including food banks,
drug and alcohol treatment, refugee humanitarian activism in
Calais, homeless participatory art projects, community responses to
the Christchurch earthquakes in New Zealand, amongst others. The
book also traces the global conditions for postsecularity beyond
the Western and predominantly Christian-secular nexus of
engagement. This is a valuable resource for students in several
academic disciplines, including geography, sociology, politics,
religious studies, international development and anthropology. It
will be of great interest to secular and faith-based practitioners
working in religion, spirituality, politics or more widely in
public policy, urban planning and community development.
