{"product_id":"sensual-religion-graham-harvey-9781781794159","title":"Sensual Religion: Religion and the Five Senses","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSensual Religion\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates the value of paying attention to the senses and materials in lived religion and also leads the way for improved studies of religion as sensuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach of the five senses - vision, hearing, taste, touch and smell - will be covered by two chapters, the first historical and the second contemporary. The historical discussions focus on the sensuality of religion in ancient Greece, Samaria, Rome and Byzantium -- including reflections on their value for understanding other historical and contemporary contexts. Chapters with a contemporary focus engage with Chinese, African-Brazilian, Sikh, First Nations and M騁is, and Spanish Catholic religious lives and activities. Beyond the rich case studies, each chapter offers perspectives and arguments about better ways of approaching lived, material and performative religion -- or sensual religion. Historical and ethnographic critical and methodological expertise is presented in ways that will inspire and enable readers to apply, refine and improve on their practice of the study of religions. In particular, our intention is to foreground the senses and sensuality as a critical issue in understanding religion and to radically improve multi- and inter-disciplinary research and teaching about the lived realities of religious people in this sensual world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Graham Harvey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781794154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781794159\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Equinox Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Graham Harvey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983393521919,"sku":"9781781794159","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b07ae136-1f94-4cd2-b660-df30b614ad58.jpg?v=1683266376","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sensual-religion-graham-harvey-9781781794159","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
