Description
Taking up the challenge of Saba Mahmood to feminist studies in religion, that there is a liberalist understanding of agency and a tendency to mix the feminist political project with the analytical, the authors of this anthology discuss the relations between pieties and politics, pieties and methodologies, virtuous masculinities, and symbolic gender representations. Several articles discuss highly controversial questions: Muslim piety, religion in the European Union between the Vatican and the Muslim populations, the religiously motivated abstinence policies of the US. Furthermore, there is an interesting section about religious masculinities in a historical and contemporary perspective.
Contributors include: Saba Mahmood, Robin May Schott, Kari E. Borresen, Claire Gresle-Favier, Clyde Wilcox, Lene Sjorup, Thomas Blom Hansen, Yvonne Maria Werner, Karin E. Gedge, Hilda Romer Christensen, and Jone Salomonsen.
