Description: Further DetailsTitle: Shanghai SacredCondition: NewDescription: Shanghai, a dynamic world metropolis, is home to a multitude of religions, from Buddhism and Islam, to Christianity and Baha’ism, to Hinduism and Daoism, and many more. In this city of 24 million inhabitants, new religious groups and older faiths together claim and reclaim spiritual space.Shanghai Sacred explores the spaces, rituals, and daily practices that make up the religious landscape of the city, offering a new paradigm for the study of Chinese spirituality that reflects the global trends shaping Chinese culture and civil society.Based on years of fieldwork, incorporating both comparative and methodological perspectives, Shanghai Sacred demonstrates how religions are lived, constructed, and thus inscribed into the social imaginary of the metropolis. Evocative photographs by Liz Hingley enrich and interact with the narrative, making the book an innovative contribution to religious visual ethnography.Author: Benoît Vermander, Liang Zhang, Liz HingleyCountry/Region of Manufacture: USEAN: 9780295741673Format: HardbackGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityISBN: 9780295741673ISBN-10: 0295741678Item Height: 254mmItem Length: 178mmItem Weight: 771gLanguage: EnglishPublisher: University of Washington PressRelease Date: 04/15/2018Book Series: Shanghai SacredSubtitle: The Religious Landscape of a Global CityTopic: Society & Culture, Social SciencesRelease Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
