Spiritualizing the City

- Agency and Resilience of the Urban and Urbanesque Habitat

Om Spiritualizing the City

This book explores the complex interplay between the (post) modern city and new religious and spiritual movements. It develops an ethnography-based analysis of the ways in which the 'urban' inscribes itself into various religious practices and vice versa, and how religiosity and spirituality appropriate and transform the meanings of urban. The book explores a new conceptualization of the word urban that is tightly linked with qualitative ethnographic research on the ground. The book also examines how cities are considered both sites and sources of where the globalization of religions takes place, as well as the interplay of globalization to the process of localization.
