The notions of labour, mobility and piety have a complex and
intertwined relationship. Using ethnographic methods and a
historical perspective, Temple Tracks critically outlines the
interlink of railway construction in colonial and post-colonial
Asia, as well as the anthropology of infrastructure and
transnational mobilities with religion. In Malaysia and Singapore,
evidence of religion-making and railway-building from a colonial
past is visible in multiple modes and media as memories,
recollections and ‘traces’.
