Synopsis

Changing Conversations defines the crucial role of cultural studies in the articulation and practice of religious studies disciplines. A decisive turn in the development of religious reflection, this volume seeks to redefine disciplinary self-understanding, and to promote religion as an integral component of cultural studies. Emphasizing a commitment to the marginalized perspectives--i.e. those communities lacking the resources to determine a new vision of society and so struggle to carve out their own space which more clearly embodies their own idiom, Changing Conversations presents insightful, authoritative contributions which show how religion is both embedded in and expressive of concrete social relationships and local realities. Featuring detailed cultural and political analyses, flavored with historical and feminist theory, Changing Conversations will inform every reader seeking to explore theology as a vital component of cultural studies.
