Description: This anthology addresses the topic of ""fundamentalism
and gender"" from inter- and trans-disciplinary perspectives. By
referring to three major themes--""Literalism, Religion, and
Science,"" ""Nation, State, and Community,"" and ""Body, Life, and
Biopolitics""--the book focuses on the analytical diversification
of the term ""fundamentalism"" and on intersections between
religion, gender, sexuality, race, and nation. International
scholars in cultural history and theory, religious studies,
Christian theologies, Islamic studies, history, social sciences,
anthropology, comparative literature, and women and gender studies
examine the historical and current specifics of religious as well
as of secular forms of fundamentalism. They also take a critical
look at the Western discourse about religious fundamentalism and
the ambivalent role feminism plays in this context, considering
questions such as, Why do all religious fundamentalisms claim
normalizing definitions of sexuality, gender roles, and intergender
relations? In what way do gender and sexual politics play a role in
secular criticism of religious fundamentalism? And how are forms of
secular fundamentalism characterized by gender constructs and
sexual politics?
