The intersections of religion and gender are here explored, based on an understanding that both are socially constructed. Far from being static, as so often presented in world religions textbooks, religious traditions are constantly in flux, responding to historical, cultural and social contexts. So too is ‘the’ Sikh tradition in terms of practices, ideologies, rituals, and notions of identity. We here conclude that ‘a’ Sikh tradition does not exist; instead, there are numerous forms thereof. In this volume, Sikhism is presented as a collection of ‘Sikh traditions’. Gender studies—in line with women’s liberation, masculine and feminist studies have long examined and have long deconstructed the patriarchy, but also move to identify other subordinate-dominant relations between individuals. Indeed, there are numerous forms of discrimination and power structures that simultaneously create a multiplicity of oppression. Intersectionality has become the basis of an increasingly systematized production of contemporary discourses on feminism and gender analysis, as is evidenced by the varied contributions in this volume.Religion & beliefsbicsscSikhwestern womenstatus of womenIndiacolonialdiasporamissionariestraveloguesutteeinfanticidefriendshipgender, religion and sexualitySikh literature and gender representationsSikh diaspora and genderlived religions and Sikhismpostcolonial life narratives and gendertrauma, testimonies and bearing witnessSikhismgendergender constructionDasam GranthSikhsSiri Guru GranthRahit Maryadapunj kakargurdwarafeminist thoughtSikh religionmasculinitygender roleswomen's educationwomen and SikhismSikh women in Italyseva performancesSikh youthSikhs in Italygurdwaras in ItalycasteintersectionalityhouseholdingcounterpublicembodimentethnographyprayerviolencewidowhoodSikh women and genderSikh diasporaCanadian SikhsSikh millennialsSikh chicSikh entrepreneurSikh valuesKhalsaSikh fashionSikhs in Barcelonaidentity (re)constructiongender relationsagencyhypermasculinitymisogynysexismgood girlbad girlbhangrarapHard KaurmasculinitiesgangsBritish Columbiamoral panicsPunjabisKhalistanisSikhs in Franceundocumented migrationconstruction sectorfitnessphilanthropyReligion & beliefsJakobsh Doris Redt1309612Jakobsh Doris RothBOOK9910557799203321Exploring Gender and Sikh Traditions3029452UNINA
