Routledge Transforming Bodies and Religions: Powers and Agencies in Europe

This interdisciplinary book examines how bodies have been transformed, reshaped, and shaped within religious and secular contexts across contemporary Europe. Drawing on post-secularist, postcolonial, and gender and queer perspectives, the work investigates the complex intersections of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and religion that inform embodied transformations. By analysing the orchestrations and effects of larger social transitions related to religion, the volume provides critical insights into how power operates through bodily practices and identities. Published by Routledge as part of the Critical Studies in Religion, Gender and Sexuality series, this book offers scholars, students, and researchers a comprehensive exploration of how bodies become sites of religious, social, and political change in European contexts.
