Why has ai . (love) been a crucial political discourse for secular nationalism for generations of political leaders as a powerful instrument to the present day? This book offers the first systematic examination of the ways in which the notion of love has been introduced, adapted, and engineered as a political discourse for the building and rebuilding of a secular modern nation, all the while appropriating Confucianism, Christianity, popular religion, ghost stories, political religion, and their religious affects. The insights of this exploration expand not only the discussion of the role of emotions in the project of Chinese modernity, but also the study of affective governance and religious nationalisms around the world today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ting Guo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9463722157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789463722155\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amsterdam University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Ting Guo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46602885497087,"sku":"9789463722155","price":131.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1dc19e05-e223-48ae-8041-f0ce303cee3f.jpg?v=1739695581","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/religion-secularism-and-love-as-ting-guo-9789463722155","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
