Religion in Modernity: Theories and Histories
AS.100.622 (01)

Drawing on key works in classic and contemporary social theory of religion and secularity as well as historical, ethnographic, and sociological monographs, this course investigates some scholars’ answers to the question of why we might want to take "religion in modernity" as an object of study (or not), what kinds of roles and importance religion (or various institutions, impulses, practices, and ideas connected to major faith traditions) has/have arguably enjoyed in an arguably global modernity often imagined as intrinsically secular, whether and how it matters that the category of religion itself may be a modern invention intertwined with specifically Christian-European and European imperial and colonial projects, whether and how we should take “secularism” or “secularity” as our object of study no less than or more than religion, what special kinds of research agendas and assumptions the empirical study of 'religion' and its workings and significance in modern political and cultural life might demand, what sorts of scholarly value it might add, and how the answers to those questions change when we look to a global present which is sometimes framed as post-secular. A more theoretically and comparatively oriented first part of the course will give way to focused attention on historical, sociological, and ethnographic monographs, with much attention to European, North American, and Near Eastern histories and societies, but ample room for students interested in East Asian, South Asian, African, and Latin American religious formations to investigate those literatures and bring to bear in class discussion. Readings likely include Weber, Bergson, Asad, Charles Taylor, de Vries, Lambek, Das, Roger Friedland, Wuthnow, Margaret Jacobs, Blackbourn, Mahmood, Susan Harding, William Connolly, Chidester, Bryan Turner.
