Towards a New Theory of Religion and Social Change - Sovereignties and Disruptions

Zusatztext Tremlett's approach is very promising: its strengths lie … in the reorganization of classical approaches, and in this I identify the potential of the text to become a new standard work in religious studies. … I would like to once again praise Tremlett's courageous initiative. Informationen zum Autor Paul-Francois Tremlett is Senior Lecturer of Religious Studies at The Open University, UK Vorwort This book argues that, at a time of social, economic and political transformation, there is an urgent need to re-think religion through the prism of theories of change. Zusammenfassung This book argues that neither theories of secularisation nor theories of lived religion offer satisfactory accounts of religion and social change. Drawing from Deleuze and Gauttari’s idea of the assemblage, Paul-Francois Tremlett outlines an alternative.Informed by classical and contemporary theories of religion as well as empirical case studies and ethnography conducted in Manila and London, this book re-frames religion as spatially organised flows. Foregrounding the agency of hon-human actors, it offers a compelling and original account of religion and social change. Inhaltsverzeichnis Openings1. Energy2. Biology3. Physics and Chemistry4.
