Whereas it is widely agreed that religion is often saturated by emotion, the secular is usually treated as a neutral background serving as the domain of public, rational deliberation. This book demonstrates that secularity and secularism are also upheld by bodily practices and emotional attachments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on empirical case studies, this is the first book to ask and explore whether a secular body exists. Building on the work of Talal Asad, the book argues that the secular is not an absence of religion, but a positive entity that comes about through its co-constitutive relationship with religion. And, once we attune ourselves to recognizing its operations as grammar which structures social practice, writing an anthropology of the secular could become a new possibility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Monique Scheer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350065226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350065222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Monique Scheer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43925001765119,"sku":"9781350065222","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6abc9fc2-7ad3-4ce0-951c-c20326f49f53.jpg?v=1681074740","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/secular-bodies-affects-and-emotions-monique-scheer-9781350065222","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
