However, there is, to date, very little research on the social movement that is organizing to serve the needs of and advocate for the nonreligious in the US. This is a book about the rise and structure of organized secularism in the United States. By organized secularism we mean the efforts of nonreligious individuals to build institutions, networks, and ultimately a movement that serves their interests in a predominantly religious society. Researchers from various fields address questions such as: What secularist organizations exist? Who are the members of these organizations? What kinds of organizations do they create? What functions do these organizations provide for their members? How do the secularist organizations of today compare to those of the past? And what is their likely impact on the future of secularism? For anyone trying to understand the rise of the nonreligious in the US, this book will provide valuable insights into organized efforts to normalize their worldview and advocate for their equal treatment in society. 410 0$aReligion and Its Others 606 $aSecularism$zUnited States 606 $aAtheismus 606 $aSecularism 606 $aSäkularisierung 606 $aSäkularismus 606 $aatheism 606 $asecularization 606 $asocial movements 606 $asoziale Bewegungen 606 $3(DE-601)10446674X$3(DE-588)4055707-8$aSoziale Bewegung$2gnd 606 $3(DE-601)105346411$3(DE-588)4177742-6$aReligionslosigkeit$2gnd 606 $3(DE-601)106178008$3(DE-588)4051238-1$aSäkularisierung$2gnd 606 $3(DE-601)106187155$3(DE-588)4049396-9$aReligion$2gnd 606 $3(DE-601)106389815$3(DE-588)4003364-8$aAtheismus$2gnd 606 $aRELIGION / Atheism$2bisacsh 607 $aUnited States$xReligion 610 $aSecularism. 610 $aatheism. 610 $asecularization. 610 $asocial movements. 615 0$aSecularism 615 4$aAtheismus. 615 4$aSecularism. 615 4$aSäkularisierung. 615 4$aSäkularismus. 615 4$aatheism. 615 4$asecularization. 615 4$asocial movements. 615 4$asoziale Bewegungen. 615 7$aSoziale Bewegung 615 7$aReligionslosigkeit 615 7$aSäkularisierung 615 7$aReligion 615 7$aAtheismus 615 7$aRELIGION / Atheism. 676 $a211/.60973 700 $aFazzino$b Lori L$4auth$01434584 702 $aCragun$b Ryan T., 702 $aFazzino$b Lori L., 702 $aManning$b Christel, 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910258749103321 996 $aOrganized Secularism in the United States$93589395 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03902nam 2200637Ia 450 001 9910782873903321 005 20230721005228.0 010 $a94-012-0640-6 010 $a1-4356-9528-3 024 7 $a10.1163/9789401206402 035 $a(CKB)1000000000720878 035 $a(EBL)556694 035 $a(OCoLC)301989668 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000266944 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12049542 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000266944 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10322818 035 $a(PQKB)11549601 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC556694 035 $a(OCoLC)301989668$z(OCoLC)649903248$z(OCoLC)764535952$z(OCoLC)842973270$z(OCoLC)961578859$z(OCoLC)962560828$z(OCoLC)966226693$z(OCoLC)988473410$z(OCoLC)992112773 035 $a(nllekb)BRILL9789401206402 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL556694 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10380210 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000720878 100 $a20081014d2008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aVeiled encounters$b[electronic resource] $erepresenting the Orient in 17th-century French travel literature /$fMichael Harrigan 210 $aAmsterdam ;$aNew York $cRodopi$d2008 215 $a1 online resource (300 p.) 225 1 $aFaux titre ;$v321 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a90-420-2476-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p.

Claiming the authority of first-hand observation, they paradoxically rely for their legitimization on the tropes of an established literary tradition. The status of these texts remained ambiguous, not least because of their anecdotal depictions of great riches, brutality or sexual promise. Drawing on the insights of post-colonial scholarship, this study tackles a question given scant attention in previous work and suggests that beyond the hazy representation of the Orient, an opposition emerges between the threatening Near East and the indolent East Indies. Distinguishing recognizable representations from those generated by new encounters, this book questions the feasibility of cultural representation through travel, exploring a large corpus of original sources written by French ecclesiastics, gentlemen-travellers, ambassadors and adventurers. Linguistic, religious, cultural or geographical barriers meant most travellers remained distanced from the peoples about whom they would simultaneously become authoritative. The encounter was further transformed in narratives that were intended to entertain and to satisfy the criterion of curiosité . The ?Oriental? that emerges is a supremely variable entity, alternately naked or veiled, barbaric or civilized, menacing or attractive. 410 0$aFaux titre ;$v321. 606 $aFrench prose literature$y17th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTravelers' writings, French$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTravel writing$zFrance$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aOrient$xIn literature 615 0$aFrench prose literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTravelers' writings, French$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTravel writing$xHistory 676 $a840.9 700 $aHarrigan$b Michael$0615931 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782873903321 996 $aVeiled encounters$91081890 997 $aUNINA
