    Hindu Pluralism (2021)
    University of California Press | University of California Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: In Hindu Pluralism, Elaine M. Fisher complicates the traditional scholarly narrative of the unification of Hinduism. By calling into question the colonial categories implicit in the term “sectarianism,” Fisher’s work excavates the pluralistic textures of precolonial Hinduism in the centuries prior to British intervention. Drawing on previously unpublished sources in Sanskrit, Tamil, and Telugu, Fisher argues that the performance of plural religious identities in public space in Indian early modernity paved the way for the emergence of a distinctively non-Western form of religious pluralism. This work provides a critical resource for understanding how Hinduism developed in the early modern period, a crucial era that set the tenor for religion’s role in public life in India through the present day. “A detailed, insightful, and original perspective on a significant and understudied period. It engages intelligently with current discussions of early modern Indian intellectual and religious history, while calling into question key elements of the existing picture of the period among specialists in the field.” -LAWRENCE McCREA, Cornell University “Fisher works at both a micro and macro level to read the intricacies of Smarta Saivism against the broader backdrop of evolving definitions of Hinduism. Her counterintuitive thesis is that sectarianism is not so much a breakup of a preexisting unity but rather an aggregation of discrete religions.” -GAURI VISWANATHAN, Columbia University “Fisher’s work is critical now more than ever in helping us to understand what Hinduism is and how it began to be that way, not in misty antiquity but in early modernity.” -ROBERT P. GOLDMAN, University of California at Berkeley ELAINE M. FISHER is Assistant Professor in the Department of Religious Studies at Stanford University.

    Finding Jerusalem (2021)
    University of California Press | University of California Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: Archaeological discoveries in Jerusalem capture worldwide attention in various media outlets. The continuing quest to discover the city’s physical remains is not simply an attempt to define Israel’s past or determine its historical legacy. In the context of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it is also an attempt to legitimate—or undercut—national claims to sovereignty. Bridging the ever-widening gap between popular coverage and specialized literature, Finding Jerusalem provides a comprehensive tour of the politics of archaeology in the city. Through a wide-ranging discussion of the material evidence, Katharina Galor illuminates the complex legal contexts and ethical precepts that underlie archaeological activity and the discourse of “cultural heritage” in Jerusalem. This book addresses the pressing need to disentangle historical documentation from the religious aspirations, social ambitions, and political commitments that shape its interpretation. “A brilliant book on the contested historical roles of archaeology in modern Jerusalem, a city torn by religious, ideological, and political conflicts. This is a must-read for both scholars and laymen interested in the fascinating, tormented history of the Holy City.” -YARON EZRAHI, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, Hebrew University of Jerusalem “In a work made possible by her remarkable ability to move between Israeli and Palestinian perspectives, Galor uncovers the political dimensions of archaeology as practiced in Jerusalem, bringing to bear her expertise as an archaeologist and an intimate knowledge of the city and its history.” -STEVEN WEITZMAN, Abraham M. Ellis Professor of Hebrew and Semitic Languages and Literatures and Ella Darivoff Director of the Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies, University of Pennsylvania KATHARINA GALOR teaches Judaic Studies and Urban Studies at Brown University. She is the coauthor of The Archaeology of Jerusalem: From the Origins to the Ottomans.

    A Manifesto for the Public University (2022)
    Bloomsbury Academic | Bloomsbury Academic
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. The Browne report advocates, in effect, the privatisation of higher education in England. With the proposed removal of the current cap on student fees and the removal of state funding from most undergraduate degree programmes, universities are set for a period of major reorganisation not seen since the higher education reforms in the 1960s. This book brings together some of the leading figures in Higher Education in the UK to set out what they see as the role of the university in public life. The book argues for a more balanced understanding of the value of universities than that outlined in the Browne Report. It advocates that they should not purely be seen in terms of their contribution to economic growth and the human capital of individuals but also in terms of their contribution to the public. This book responds to the key debates that the Browne review and Government statements have sparked, with essays on the cultural significance of the university, the role of the government in funding research, inequality in higher education, the role of quangos in public life and the place of social science research. It is a timely, important and considered exploration of the role of the universities in the UK and a reminder of what we should value and protect in our higher education system.

    The Kobane Generation (2021)
    Helsinki University Press | Helsinki University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: A small Kurdish city located in northern Syria, Kobane, became symbolically significant when ISIS laid siege to the city between September 2014 and January 2015. This pivotal moment in the fight against ISIS threw the international spotlight on the Kurds. The Kobane Generation analyses how Kurdish diaspora communities mobilised in France after the breakout of the Syrian civil war and political unrest in Turkey and Iraq in the 2010s. Tens of thousands of people, mostly but not exclusively diaspora Kurds, demonstrated in major European capitals, expressed their solidarity with Kobane, and engaged in transnational political activism towards Kurdistan. In this book, Mari Toivanen discusses a series of critical events that led to different forms of transnational participation towards Kurdistan. The focus of this book is particularly on how diaspora mobilisations became visible among the second generation, the descendants of Kurdish migrants. The book addresses important questions, such as why second-generation members felt the need to mobilise and what kind of transnational participation this led to. How did the transnational participation and political activism of the second generation differ from that of their parents, and is such activism simply diasporic or also related to more global changes in political activism? The Kobane Generation offers important insights on the generational dynamics of political mobilisations and their significance to understanding diaspora contributions. More broadly, it sheds light on second-generation political activism beyond the diaspora context, analysing it in relation to global transformations in political subjectivities.

    SciELO Books - Editora UNESP
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: "O livro integra a coleção “Desafios Contemporâneos”, cujo objetivo é apresentar e discutir temas de interesse da sociedade em linguagem acessível ao grande público, sem prejuízo do rigor científico. No caso desta obra, os vários autores lançam um olhar panorâmico sobre a questão da identidade nacional, de modo a contribuir para o debate sobre o que é o Brasil e quem são os brasileiros. O trabalho foi dividido em cinco núcleos temáticos: a questão racial, o corpo, a língua, a religião e a cultura. Os ensaios procuram sempre adotar uma perspectiva ampla, do ponto de vista temporal e temático, tendo como horizonte a compreensão dos desafios sociais, políticos, econômicos e culturais do Brasil contemporâneos. É feito ainda um amplo balanço das diferentes formas de entender a identidade nacional, a partir da confrontação dos principais pensadores que se dedicaram ao assunto ao longo da história, e uma análise do estado atual das pesquisas sobre a identidade brasileira e os seus possíveis desdobramentos na área de ciências humanas do país."

    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: A ideia de diversidade tornou-se, frente à crescente afirmação das identidades, um fenômeno significativo especialmente em sociedades oriundas do colonialismo europeu, onde grupos e indivíduos reafirmam seus particularismos locais, suas identidades étnicas, raciais, culturais ou religiosas, chamando a atenção de organismos internacionais a atributos da globalização que não são apenas econômicos ou tecnológicos, mostrando a inadequação das análises estritamente socioeconômicas.
