Description:This book explores religion in various spatial constellations in South Asian cities, including religious centres such as Varanasi, Madurai and Nanded on the one hand, and cities not readily associated with religion, such as Mumbai and Delhi on the other.Contributors from a variety of disciplines discuss a wide-ranging number of urban spaces, including spaces that are physical and imagined, institutional and residential, built and landscaped, virtual and mediatized, historical and contemporary. In doing so, the book addresses a wide range of issues concerning the role of religion in the dynamic interplay of factors which characterize complex urban social spaces. Chapters incorporate varying degrees and forms of the religious/spiritual, ranging from invisible and incorporeal to material and explicit, embedded in and expressed as spatial politics, works of fiction, mission, pilgrimage, festivals and everyday life. Topics examined include conflictual situations involving places of worship in Delhi after Partition, inclusive religious practices and mobile fieldwork strategies in Kanpur and American Protestant missions in Madurai.A thorough assessment of the different forms in which religion persists in South Asian urban contexts, this book will be of interest to researchers and students in the fields of religions, cultural studies, urban studies and South Asian Studies.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
