Christianity and Belonging in Shimla, North India

Sacred Entanglements of a Himalayan Landscape Jonathan Miles-Watson, Durham University, UK This ethnographic account of Shimla shows that key to understanding the city is the contemporary material religion of the Christian communities, who are marginal (by profession) yet metaphorically and literally central to the contemporary life of the city. The book builds upon over a decade of research to present a unique account of devotional practices, speaking to contemporary developments in the fields of both the anthropology of Christianity and material religion.

Thomas B. Ellis, Appalachian State University, USA Argues that religion has emerged over evolutionary time as a strategy for managing the transmission, contraction, and eradication of infectious disease. From purity and pollution codes to blood sacrifices and irrational beliefs, it shows how religion supports not only the physiological immune system, but the behavioral and psychological immune systems as well. It also addresses those moments when it appears that religion becomes maladaptive, that is, religion occasionally causes “autoimmune problems,” such as celibacy and anti-vaccination.

The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Cultural and Cognitive Aesthetics of Religion

Sacred Words and Holy Realms

Focusing on the three leading religious traditions in Africa (African Traditional Religion, Islam, and Christianity), Toyin Falola shows how belief in the supremacy of sacred words compels actions and influences practices in contemporary Africa. The book evaluates how religious leaders engage with sacred words (both orals and texts), engendering practices that reveal the expression of religious beliefs, the impact of those beliefs, and the knowledge contained in them.

Interreligious Resilience

Edited by Ellen Goldberg, Queen's University, Canada, Aditi Sen, Queen's University, Canada & Brian Collins, Ohio University, USA

Michael S. Hogue, Lombard Theological School, USA & Dean Phillip Bell, Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies, USA

Religion, Violence and Cinematic Fears in India

Bollywood Horrors presents a multi-faceted study of cinematic representations of real-life horror, the religious aspects of horror imagery and themes, and the ways in which Hindi films have projected “cinematic fears” onto the screen. These fears are drawn from religious traditions; from among folkloric demons like bhoots and chudails; from real-life atrocities like the anti-Muslim riots of Gujarat in 2002; and the prevalence of violence against women. Topics covered include poster and song booklet design, Gothic novels, campy “B-grade” monster movies, tantric magicians, communal violence, and human trafficking.

Reassembling Democracy Ritual as Cultural Resource

Edited by Jone Salomonsen, University of Oslo, Norway, Michael Houseman, Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, France, Sarah M. Pike, California State University, Chico, USA & Graham Harvey, The Open University, UK Diverse processes of democratic participation and exclusion are closely bound by ritual acts and complexes. This collection is the result of collaborations and conversations between international researchers who have focused on the use of those cultural resources identifiable as “ritual” as they reassemble democracy. The main question integrating the collection concerns the ways in which the performative qualities of ritual resources achieve their potential as forms of personal and political empowerment in our changing and challenging world.
