内容説明
This work explores conceptions of knowledge and power in Islamic and Christian traditions. The first two chapters show how the theoretical search for an essence of religion invites us to separate it conceptually from the domain of power. Other chapters explore the ways in which power and rationality were articulated in Christianity prior to the Reformation. Still others consider Salmon Rushdie's "Satanic Verses", firstly, as the textual representation of the objects anthropologists study (religion, migration, gender and cultural identity); secondly, as a political act in itself; and thirdly, as an example of the larger encounter between Western modernity and a non-Western "other".
目次
- Part 1 Genealogies: the construction of religion as an anthropological category

- the limits of religious criticism in the Middle East. Part 4 Polemics: multiculturalism and British identity in the wake of the Rushdie affair
- ethnography, literature and politics - some readings and uses of Salmon Rushdie's "Satanic Verses".

内容説明
In "Geneologies of Religion", Talal Asad explores how religion as a historical category emerged in the West and has come to be applied as a universal concept. The idea that religion has undergone a radical change since the Christian Reformation-from totalitarian and socially repressive to private and relatively benign-is a familiar part of the story of secularization. It is often invokved to explain and justify the liberal politics and world view of modernity. And it leads to the view that "politicized religions" threaten both reason and liberty. Asad's essays explore and question all these assumptions. He argues that "religion" is a construction of European modernity, a construction that authorizes-for Westerners and non-Westerners alike-particular forms of "history making".
