Description
Summary:Like music, the study of religion moves into the future through decoration, development and transformation of what is already there. The future of the study of religion, which is already present in recent research on material religion, lies in the modulation of basic categories, the reconfiguration of contexts as formations, and the tracking of religion-like circulations through many fields. This essay highlights recent publications that exemplify these transformations.
