Emotions have moved center stage in many contemporary debates over
religious diversity and multicultural recognition. As in other
contested fields, emotions are often one-sidedly discussed as
quintessentially subjective and individual phenomena, neglecting
their social and cultural constitution. Moreover, emotionality in
these debates is frequently attributed to the religious subject
alone, disregarding the affective anatomy of the secular. This
volume addresses these shortcomings, bringing into conversation a
variety of disciplinary perspectives on religious and secular
affect and emotion. The volume emphasizes two analytical
perspectives: on the one hand, chapters take an immanent
perspective, focusing on subjective feelings and emotions in
relation to the religious and the secular. On the other hand,
chapters take a relational perspective, looking at the role of
affect and emotion in how the religious and the secular constitute
one another. These perspectives cut across the three main parts of
the volume: the first one addressing historical intertwinements of
religion and emotion, the second part emphasizing affects,
emotions, and religiosity, and the third part looking at specific
sensibilities of the secular. The thirteen chapters provide a
well-balanced composition of theoretical, methodological, and
empirical approaches to these areas of inquiry, discussing both
historical and contemporary cases.
