Precarious Presences, Hallucinatory Times: Configurations of Religious Otherness in German Leitkulturalist Discourse; IndexThis book conceives of ""religion-making"" broadly as the multiple ways in which social and cultural phenomena are configured and reconfigured within the matrix of a world-religion discourse that is historically and semantically rooted in particular Western and predominantly Christian experiences, knowledges, and institutions. It investigates how religion is universalized and certain ideas, social formations, and practices rendered ""religious"" are thus integrated in and subordinated to very particular - mostly liberal-secular - assumptions about the relationship between history, politics, anReflection and theory in the study of religion.SecularismReligion and sociologySecularism.Religion and sociology.211/.6Dressler Markus1594628Mandair Arvind-pal Singh1594629MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826539803321Secularism and religion-making3915204UNINA
