Essays exploring the intersections of gender and religion in postsecular knowledge production and visual culture.

During the last three decades, religious practices have gained increased visibility on a global scale, while the concept of secularity—and its relationship to religion—has become an object of intense interdisciplinary debates internationally.

While the secular and the religious previously had marginalized positions within the academic field of gender studies, we can now observe a growing interest in religion and spirituality within this area of study, as well as gender-based activism.

This publication features essays by scholars in gender and religious studies that collectively reflect upon and develop interdisciplinary and transregional ideas about the intricate dynamics of secularity, religiosity, and gender.

The texts explore the entanglements and borders of religions and secularities in everyday life, as well as in art, culture, and knowledge production. Situated in an understanding of religion as both a category of thought and a marker of identity, this book considers new approaches to exploring the dynamic relationships between religiosity, secularity, and gender.
