Description:"This book puts forward a new epistemological framework for a theory of religion and gender's role in the public sphere. It provides a sophisticated understanding of gender and its relation to religion as a primarily performative category of knowledge production, rooting that understanding in case studies from around the world. The publication focuses on the new role of religion and gender in the public sphere in Europe, the USA and the African context. It analyses the interdependence of religion, gender and neo-nationalisms, scrutinising the biopolitical interferences of nation states and dominant political and religious institutions. It then moves on to uncover counter-discourses and spaces of activism and agency in contexts such as East Germany and the Occupy Wall Street movement. Using gender and queer theory in tandem with postcolonial and post-secular perspectives, readers are shown a more nuanced understanding of critical contemporary questions related to religion, gender and sexuality. This is a bold new take on religion, gender and public life. As such, it will be of keen interest to scholars of Religious, Gender and Visual Culture Studies and Cultural Critique, as well as those working on religion's interaction with Politics, Sociology, Anthropology and Social Activism"--We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
