Reviews / Votes
"The introduction offers a substantial account of recent theory that corrects the 'dichotomised heritage' of thinking about body and soul in anthropology...The volume as a whole offers a worthwhile contribution to the growing literature on corporealised religion in the contemporary world. It will be of interest to anthropologists writing on Christianity and the body and on religion and migration, as well as to readers with an interest in the study of religion outside anthropology." ? Social Anthropology/Anthropologie sociale"[This volume] assembles some fascinating new examples of embodiment of culture, indicating the potential for this paradigm in religion and beyond [that has been lost for centuries]by denigrating and ignoring the body as a serious and intelligent locus of human experience and knowledge." ? Anthropology Review Database
"There is a welcome international feel about the venture-indeed the contributors could hardly represent a broader range of European nationalities. Furthermore, I am impressed with both the relevance and diversity of the papers listed." ? Peter Collins, Durham University
"This is an interesting and timely volume, addressing an important contemporary challenge for the anthropology of religion... The chapters...are ethnographically solid, and are tied nicely into the overall critique of the separation of body and soul." ? Jon Mitchell, University of Sussex

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
