Gender, Sexuality and Religious Exit (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Gender and Religious Exit focuses on gendered experiences of moving away from religious traditions, communities or movements. It analyses and conceptualises not only the gendered aspects of leaving religion, but also raises questions about politics and embodiment and about intersecting issues of sexuality, ethnicity and race. The editors bring together chapters on religious exit from various disciplinary angles and include case studies from diverse geopolitical and national contexts including Spain, Italy, the UK, the Netherlands, Finland, Poland, Chile, Kyrgyzstan and Ireland. The contributors address a range of (former) religious contexts including Islam, Catholicism, Buddhism, Baha'i, Evangelical Churches and feminine spirituality. They demonstrate the multiplicity of ways of moving away from singular religious communities and cultures and the gendered processes involved. The book will be of interest to scholars of religion, anthropology, sociology, and gender studies.
