In the name of modernity and progress, the contemporary Southeast Asian states tend to press their populations to have a ‘religion,' claiming that their local, indigenous practices and traditions do not constitute religion. Authors analyze this ‘religionization,’ addressing how local people appropriate religion as a category to define some of their practices as differentiated from others, whether they want to have a religion or are constrained to demonstrate that they profess one. Thus, ‘religion’ is what is regarded as such by these local actors, which might not correspond to what counts as religion for the observer. Furthermore, local actors do not always concur regarding what their religion is about, as religion is a contested issue. In consequence, each of the case studies in this volume purposes to elucidate what gets identified and legitimized as ‘religion’, by whom, for what purpose, and under what political conditions.Religion and sociologySoutheast Asia—HistoryAsia—Politics and governmentReligion and Societyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A8020Sociology of Religionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22210History of Southeast Asiahttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715050Asian Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911110Religion and sociology.Southeast Asia—History.Asia—Politics and government.Religion and Society.Sociology of Religion.History of Southeast Asia.Asian Politics.005.437Picard Micheledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910255210703321The Appropriation of Religion in Southeast Asia and Beyond2141309UNINA
