Situating Spirituality: Context, Practice, and Power Steensland Brian
Spirituality is in the spotlight. Practices such as yoga, meditation, and pilgrimage are surging in popularity. While levels of religious belief and observance are declining in much of the Western world, the number of people who identify as "spiritual but not religious" is on the rise.
Commentators talk of a new spiritual awakening "after religion." And global mobility is generating hybrid practices that blur the lines between religion and spirituality.The essays collected in Situating Spirituality: Context, Practice, and Power examine not only individual engagements with spirituality, but they show how seemingly personal facets of spirituality, as well as definitions of spirituality itself, are deeply shaped by religious, cultural, and political contexts. The "Wellness" regimes offer practitioners a lexicon of spirituality and an array of spiritual experiences.
