Relocating Religion: Cultural and Spiritual Re-Alignments

This course is primarily concerned with equivocations and uncertainties that surround the concepts and practices of religion in the modern period, including contemporary and popularly expressed preferences for “spirituality”.

Drawing on previous historiographical and philosophical discussions of religion, the focus is mainly on how religion can be conceived and understood within the fields of theological and cultural anthropology.

To explore the “relocations” of religion, we will examine the different modalities in which religious practices have migrated or relocated – wittingly or unwittingly, willingly or unwillingly – in contemporary western society.
