Description

Refractions of the Scriptural is a transdisciplinary collection of essays that constructs a new field of scholarly inquiry with scriptures as a fraught category, analytical wedge, and site for excavation and problematisation. The book examines how individual and social bodies manipulate and are manipulated by the politics and power encoded in language and formalised canonical knowledge. Scriptures function as complex phenomena instrumental to social conservatism as well as social critique and social change, revealing the intricate relationships between textual authority and lived experience. Part of the Routledge Studies in Religion series, this volume brings together essays exploring how scriptural texts shape identity, power structures, and possibilities for transformation across disciplines including anthropology, sociology, religious studies, and critical theory.

Key Features

Explores the politics and power dynamics embedded in canonical knowledge and how bodies engage with scriptural authority and meaning.

Transdisciplinary approach integrating perspectives from anthropology, sociology, religious studies, and critical theory on scriptural texts.
