- More about Transforming Bodies and Religions: Powers and Agencies in Europe
This book explores the intersections of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and religion that underpin embodied transformations in contemporary Europe, using post-secularist, postcolonial, and gender/queer perspectives to gain a better understanding of the orchestrations and effects of larger social transitions related to religion. It is divided into three subsections that focus on particular types of embodiment: body politics in governmental and NGO organizations, the role of the body in literary and/or autobiographical narratives, and ethnographic case studies of bodies in daily life.

This book delves into the intricate interplay of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and religion in shaping embodied transformations across contemporary Europe. Through a multidisciplinary lens, it explores the intersections that underpin these transformations, shedding light on the complex processes of social change within religious and secular contexts. Employing post-secularist, postcolonial, and gender/queer perspectives, the authors aim to gain a deeper understanding of the orchestration and consequences of broader social transitions related to religion.
The result of an extensive collaboration between the authors, who have regularly convened in Utrecht, Netherlands, to explore themes related to religion and the challenge of difference, this volume comprises three subsections that focus on distinct aspects of embodiment: body politics within governmental and non-governmental organizations; the role of the body in literary and/or autobiographical narratives; and ethnographic case studies of bodies in daily life.
By undertaking this innovative exploration, the book offers a fresh perspective on contemporary religion and the body, making it of immense interest to scholars in Religious Studies, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Post-Colonial Studies, Anthropology, Sociology, Theology, and Philosophy.
