To connect with modernity, various ways and means are used, among them magic practices and religious ideas. Dynamics of Religion in Southeast Asia: Magic and Modernity deals with the magic in and of modernity and asks about its current significance for the dynamics of religion in Southeast Asia. Drawing on recent ethnographic research in this area, the contributors to this wide-ranging volume demonstrate how religious concepts contribute to meeting the challenges of modernity. Against this background, religion and modernity are no longer perceived as in contradiction; rather, it is argued that a revision of the western notion of religion is required to understand the complexity of 'multiple modernities' in a globalised world..\u003ci\u003eDynamics of Religion in Southeast Asia: Magic and Modernity\u003c\/i\u003e is part of the series Global Asia, in close collaboration with the International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Volker Gottowik\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9089644245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789089644244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Volker Gottowik","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48659554631935,"sku":"9789089644244","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dynamics-of-religion-in-southeast-volker-gottowik-9789089644244","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
