Beschreibung
This international and interdisciplinary handbook offers a comprehensive and an in-depth overview of contemporary research, theory, and practice in geographies of religion in various parts of the world and with different populations. The book showcases the major theoretical interventions in the field and the debates about the existential constitution of sacred space and what this means for secularization. It outlines the most significant geographical themes of these new developments, with their implications for how to think about landscapes, space, bodies, and worlds. The book also discusses the future of the field, such as in the realms of encounters and ethics, economies and markets, institutions and organisations, movements and migrations, and media and mediums. Last but not least, it offers views from disciplines outside of geography, such as from sociology, anthropology, religious studies, and media and communications studies, which demonstrate the contributions of geographers of religion to wider intellectual conversation.
