Yet these very same traditions are regularly decried as antecedents to the violent and authoritarian ideologies of modernity. Informed in equal parts by theology and historical theory, this book offers a provocative exploration of this double-edged legacy. Author Jayne Svenungsson rigorously pursues a middle path between utopian arrogance and an enervated postmodernism, assessing the impact of Jewish and Christian theologies of history on subsequent thinkers, and in the process identifying a web of spiritual and intellectual motifs extending from ancient Jewish prophets to contemporary radicals such as Giorgio Agamben and Slavoj Zizek.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/index.php\/charles-hirschkind\/\"><strong>Charles Hirschkind<\/strong><\/a> (2020) <a href=\"https:\/\/press.uchicago.edu\/ucp\/books\/ book\/chicago\/F\/bo68658259.html\" data-wplink-url-error=\"true\"><em>The Feeling of History: Islam, Romanticism, and Andalusia.<\/em><\/a> Chicago: University of Chicago Press.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Hirschkind.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1591\" src=\"https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Hirschkind-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Hirschkind-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Hirschkind-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Hirschkind-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Hirschkind.jpg 853w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>Blurb:<\/strong> This book explores some of the different ways in which Europe&#8217;s Islamic past inhabits its present, unsettling contemporary efforts to secure the continent\u2019s Christian civilizational identity. Taking southern Spain as its primary focus, it examines forms of history and memory that mediate and sustain an active relation to the Islamic heritage of Andalusia, and the impact these forms have on the ethical and political possibilities of finding a place for Islam in Spain and Europe today. This effort at historical recuperation has been the central concern of a longstanding tradition (known as Andalucismo) among Spanish artists, writers, musicians, and political thinkers, a tradition based on the principle that\u00a0contemporary Andalusia is linked in vitally important ways with al-Andalus (medieval Islamic Iberia) and that the challenges faced by Andalusians today\u2014and by Europeans more broadly\u2014require a recognition of that historical identity and continuity. The book gives particular attention to the role of musical and aesthetic sensibilities in shaping the way the past is encountered and given a place in the lives of contemporary Andalusians. Challenging conventional interpretations of Andalucismo as Romantic fictionalization or Orientalist fantasy,\u00a0<em>The Feeling of History<\/em>\u00a0highlights the multiple ways Spaniards have accommodated their lives to the demands of an inheritance only partially available to knowledge and thus more felt than known, and in doing so, have sought to unsettle the historical geography of what today is called fortress Europe.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/index.php\/jonathan-massey\/\"><strong>Jonathan Massey<\/strong><\/a> (with Aggregate, Architectural History Collaboration).

Power is defined through a variety of forms: modernization, obsolescence, technology, capital, ergonomics, biopolitics, and others. The chapters explore the diffusion of power through the establishment of norms and networks that frame human conduct, action, identity, and design.

In international law, the de facto state is one that exists in reality but remains unrecognized by other states. Nevertheless, such entities provide health care and social security, issue identity cards and passports, and interact with international aid donors. De facto states hold elections, conduct censuses, control borders, and enact fiscal policies. Indeed, most maintain representative offices in sovereign states and are able to unofficially communicate with officials. Bryant and Hatay develop the concept of the &#8220;aporetic state&#8221; to describe such entities, which project stateness and so seem real, even as nonrecognition renders them unrealizable.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/index.php\/dr-wilson-chacko-jacob\/\"><strong>Wilson Chacko Jacob<\/strong><\/a>. 2019. <em>For God or Empire: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sup.org\/books\/title\/?id=25017\">Sayyid Fadl and the Indian Ocean World<\/a><\/em>.

Including rich empirical evidence from historical and ethnographic material, the author shows how the contours of violence among minorities position Muslims as more vulnerable subjects of violent conflicts.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/index.php\/sonja-thomas\/\"><strong>Sonja Thomas<\/strong><\/a> (2018)<a href=\"https:\/\/uwapress.uw.edu\/book\/9780295743844\/privileged-minorities\/\"> <em>Privileged Minorities: Syrian Christianity, Gender, and Minority Rights<\/em><\/a>.

They are caste-, race-, and class-privileged, and have long benefitted, both economically and socially, from their privileged position. Focusing on Syrian Christian women, Sonja Thomas explores how this community illuminates larger questions of multiple oppressions, privilege and subordination, racialization, and religion and secularism in India.<\/p>\n<p>In Privileged Minorities, Thomas examines a wide range of sources, including oral histories, ethnographic interviews, and legislative assembly debates, to interrogate the relationships between religious rights and women\u2019s rights in Kerala. Using an intersectional approach, and US women of color feminist theory, she demonstrates the ways that race, caste, gender, religion, and politics are inextricably intertwined, with power and privilege working in complex and nuanced ways. By attending to the ways in which inequalities within groups shape very different experiences of religious and political movements in feminist and rights-based activism, Thomas lays the groundwork for imagining new feminist solidarities across religions, castes, races, and classes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/index.php\/brent-crosson\/\"><strong>Brent Crosson<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(2020)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/press.uchicago.edu\/ucp\/books\/book\/chicago\/E\/bo50271449.html\"> <em>Experiments with Power: Obeah and the Remaking of Religion in Trinidad<\/em>.<\/a> Chicago: University of Chicago Press.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/crosson.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1605\" src=\"https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/crosson-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/crosson-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/crosson-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/crosson-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/crosson.jpg 853w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>BLURB:<\/strong> In 2011, Trinidad declared a state of emergency. This massive state intervention lasted for 108 days and led to the rounding up of over 7,000 people in areas the state deemed \u201ccrime hot spots.\u201d The government justified this action and subsequent police violence on the grounds that these measures were restoring \u201cthe rule of law.\u201d In this milieu of expanded policing powers, protests occasioned by police violence against lower-class black people have often garnered little sympathy. But in an improbable turn of events, six officers involved in the shooting of three young people were charged with murder at the height of the state of emergency. To explain this, the host of Crime Watch, the nation\u2019s most popular television show, alleged that there must be a special power at work: obeah.<\/p>\n<p>From eighteenth-century slave rebellions to contemporary responses to police brutality, Caribbean methods of problem-solving \u201cspiritual work\u201d have been criminalized under the label of \u201cobeah.\u201d Connected to a justice-making force, obeah remains a crime in many parts of the anglophone Caribbean. In Experiments with Power, J. Brent Crosson addresses the complex question of what obeah is. Redescribing obeah as \u201cscience\u201d and \u201cexperiments,\u201d Caribbean spiritual workers unsettle the moral and racial foundations of Western categories of religion. Based on more than a decade of conversations with spiritual workers during and after the state of emergency, this book shows how the reframing of religious practice as an experiment with power transforms conceptions of religion and law in modern nation-states.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/index.php\/elayne-oliphant\/\"><strong>Elayne Oliphant<\/strong><\/a> (2020) <a href=\"https:\/\/press.uchicago.edu\/ucp\/books\/book\/chicago\/P\/bo59260270.html\"><em>The Privilege of Being Banal: Art, Secularism, and Catholicism in Paris<\/em>.<\/a> Chicago: University of Chicago Press.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/oliphant.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1607\" src=\"https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/oliphant-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/oliphant-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/oliphant-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/oliphant-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/entangledworlds.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/oliphant.jpg 853w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>BLURB:<\/strong><em> The Privilege of Being Banal: Art, Secularism, and Catholicism in Paris<\/em>\u00a0(Chicago, 2021) uses the concept of &#8220;banality&#8221; to explore how the monumental presence of Catholicism is able to move between Paris&#8217;s background and foreground without appearing threatening. Rather a sign of weakness, Catholicism&#8217;s banality is an expression of its Catholicism&#8217;s privilege in the Parisian landscape. It has, moreover, effaced a number of violent histories and alternate trajectories, as it undergirds Catholicism\u2019s circulation in non-religious sites such as museums, corporate spaces, and political debates. The book&#8217;s aim is to unravel the contradictions of religion and secularism and, in the process, show how aesthetics and politics come together in contemporary France to foster the kind of banality that Hannah Arendt warned against: the incapacity to take on another person\u2019s experience of the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valentina Napolitano\u00a0\u201cFrancis, a Criollo Pope.\u201d Religion and Society 10 (1): 63 \u2013 80.
