Transforming Bodies and Religions
This book sheds an interdisciplinary light on 'transforming bodies' bodies that have been subjected to, contributed to, or have resisted social transformations within religious or secular contexts in contemporary Europe. Using post-secularist, postcolonial and gender/queer perspectives, it aims to gain a better understanding of the orchestrations and effects of larger social transitions related to religion.This volume is the outcome of the intensive collaboration of the authors, who for years have been meeting regularly in Utrecht, the Netherlands, to discuss themes related to religion and 'the challenge of difference', with an added afterword by Prof. It explores the intersections of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and religion that underpin embodied transformations.
The book is divided in three subsections that focus on Pamela Klassen from the University of Toronto.
Bodies And Barriers
Bodies and Social Rhythms
Indigenous Bodies, Cells, and Genes
