Focusing on the intricate presence of a Japanese new religion
(Sekai Kyuseikyo) in the densely populated and primarily Christian
environment of Kinshasa (DR Congo), this ethnographic study offers
a practitioner-orientated perspective to create a localized picture
of religious globalization. Guided by an aesthetic approach to
religion, the study moves beyond a focus limited to text and offers
insights into the role of religious objects, spiritual technologies
and aesthetic repertoires in the production and politics of
difference. The boundaries between non-Christian religious
minorities and the largely Christian public sphere involve fears
and suspicion of "magic" and "occult sciences".
