520 |a Twenty years after the publication of Genealogies of Religion, scholarship in the field of "religion and politics" mostly ignores Talal Asad’s central arguments about the socially constructed nature of the secular-religious distinction. However, a critical counter-tradition is gaining traction. After briefly reviewing the work of three scholars who have drawn on Asad to intervene in debates in political theory, religion and violence, and international relations, I offer some reflections on the triangular relation among states, capital, and the cultural formation of religion. "Religion" as a transcultural category, I argue, can be understood as partly the spectral projection of a universalizing liberal-capitalist order in search of an "other" by means of which to legitimate itself.
