About The Bloomsbury Handbook of The Cultural and Cognitive Aesthetics of Religion

Bridging the gap between cognition and culture, this handbook explores both social scientific and humanities approaches to understanding the physical processes of religious life, tradition, practice, and belief. It reflects the cultural turn within the study of religion and puts theory to the fore, moving beyond traditional theological, philosophical, and ethnographic understandings of the aesthetics of religion.Editors Anne Koch and Katharina Wilkens bring together research in cultural studies, cognitive studies, material religion, religion and the arts, and epistemology. Questions of identity, gender, ethnicity, and postcolonialism are discussed throughout. Key topics include materiality, embodiment, performance, popular/vernacular art and space to move beyond a sensory understanding of aesthetics. Emerging areas of research are covered, including secular aesthetics and the aesthetic of spirits.This is an important contribution to theory and method in the study of religion, and is grounded in research that has been taking place in Europe over the past 20 years. Case studies are drawn from around the world with contributions from scholars based in Europe, the USA, and Australia. The book is illustrated with over 40 color images and features a foreword from Birgit Meyer.Body, senses, material culture and media constitute a high-impact field attracting students as well as researchers across disciplines. In light of the need for conceptual clarification, the Bloomsbury Handbook of the Cultural and Cognitive Aesthetics of Religion takes a systematic approach and outlines aesthetics as a mode of knowledge production and formation that includes specifically religious aesthetics, the body and sensorial-artificial environments. It also reflects the role of sensual perception in the process of data collection and academic knowledge production. The Handbook innovatively connects historical anthropology and culture theories with the cognitive study of religion. It offers an overview of the state of the art, introduces new concepts, supports specific arguments with case studies from across the world, and refers to emerging discussions such as secular or non-religious aesthetics or the aesthetic of spirits. The Handbook includes a chapter on innovative teaching methods for the aesthetics of religion approach.
