Description

Explore the profound impact of wonder on religious, political, and social practices in this academic work from Routledge. Social Formations of Wonder: Anthropology and Awe investigates how wonder is continuously shaped and redefined through human experience. By engaging with anthropological studies, this book moves beyond abstract theory to incorporate the sensory details of real ethnographic encounters, including sight, sound, scent, and color. The text examines a wide range of influential thinkers to build its argument. It references the philosophical foundations laid by Plato, Martin Heidegger, and Cornelius Castoriadis, while also looking at the perspectives of surrealists like Andre Breton and Pierre Mabille. Recent contributions from religious philosopher Mary-Jane Rubenstein are also integrated into the discussion. Responding to the work of Michael W. Scott, this book offers a deep look at how wonder functions within social structures. It is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the intersection of anthropology, sociology, and philosophy, providing a rich perspective on how human awe shapes our world.
