Modernity is surrounded by an almost magic aura that casts a spell
over people all over the world. To connect with modernity, various
ways and means are used, among them magic practices and religious
ideas. Dynamics of Religion in Southeast Asia: Magic and Modernity
deals with the magic in and of modernity and asks about its current
significance for the dynamics of religion in Southeast Asia.
Drawing on recent ethnographic research in this area, the
contributors to this wide-ranging volume demonstrate how religious
concepts contribute to meeting the challenges of modernity. Against
this background, religion and modernity are no longer perceived as
in contradiction; rather, it is argued that a revision of the
western notion of religion is required to understand the complexity
of 'multiple modernities' in a globalised world.. Dynamics of
Religion in Southeast Asia: Magic and Modernity is part of the
series Global Asia, published by Amsterdam University Press (AUP)
in close collaboration with the International Institute for Asian
Studies (IIAS)
