Omschrijving
This book puts forward a new epistemological framework for a theory of religion and gender’s role in the public sphere
"Through extensive research across continents and informed by large scale collaborations across disciplines, An Epistemology of Religion and Gender, demonstrates the stakes of academic undertakings. Professor Auga shows her readers that by rethinking religion and gender we might also shift longstanding public controversies over and sexuality, decolonise public space, create new ways of responding to conflict and even violence, undertake innovative activism in response to injustice, and imagine the future differently. It is a journey well worth taking."
Janet R. Jakobsen, Claire Tow Professor of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Barnard College, Columbia University, New York City
"Ulrike Auga’s An Epistemology of Religion and Gender is a trailblazing work in its development of new epistemic insights and angles for the study of religion, the body, and power. This book brings together a body of original theoretical work, exemplary case studies and innovative perspectives that are likely to influence the field for many years to come."
Bee Scherer, Professor of Religious Studies and Gender Studies (INCISE, Canterbury, U.K.) and Founder-Facilitator of Queering Paradigms
"From a perspective of situated knowledge, the book brings together epistemological debates from religious studies, gender studies and performance studies and applies them on such various fields as the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York, agency photography in Mali and masculine hegemony in the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission. By capturing worldwide past and present debates, it invites students and scholars to creatively rethink semantic categories."
Monika Salzbrunn, Full Professor of Religion, Migration, Diaspora Studies, University of Lausanne
