'Representing Religion' critically examines this ""crisis of representation"". The volume traces the history of religious studies, critiquing the concept that ""experience"" is central to understanding religion. The views of influential semioticians and philosophers - notably Nietzsche, Saussure, Foucault, Barthes, and Bakhtin - are used to construct a new methodology for the critical study of religion.
