"Religion: material dynamics is a lively resource for thinking about religious materiality
and the material study of religion. Deconstructing and reconstructing religion as
material categories, social formations, and mobile circulations, the book explores
the making, ordering, and circulating of religious things. Split into three sections,
Part One revitalizes basic categories--animism and sacred, space and time--by situating
them in their material production and testing their analytical viability. Part Two
examines religious formations as configurations of power that operate in material
cultures and cultural economies and are most clearly shown in the power relations
of colonialism and imperialism. Part Three explores the material dynamics of circulation
through case studies of religious mobility, change, and diffusion as intimate as the
body and as vast as the oceans. Each chapter offers insightful orientations and surprising
possibilities for studying material religion. Exploring the material dynamics of religion
from poetics to politics, David Chidester provides an entry into the study of material
religion that will be welcomed by students and specialists in religious studies, anthropology,
and history."--Provided by publisher
