The Bloomsbury Handbook of Religion and Migration

The Bloomsbury Handbook of Religion and Migration presents the story of religion and migration predominantly through the experiences of Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus and Buddhists, considering intersectional issues including race, ethnicity, class, gender and generation throughout. Many chapters are grounded in embodied ethnography including participant observation fieldwork, interviews, oral history collections and qualitative analysis, drawing on sociological and anthropological theory, as well as non-western and historical approaches to religion. Chapters also chronicle migration in regional, transnational, multicultural and populist contexts, examining everyday religiosity and religion across generations. The volume includes chapters on Islam and Muslim identity, Chinese and Vietnamese Buddhism, Filipino and Korean religiosity and Polish Catholicism.

Language, Writing, and Mobility

This book explores the interaction between three key aspects of everyday life—language, writing, and mobility —with particular focus on their effects on language contact. While the book adopts an established view of language and society that is in keeping with the sociolinguistic paradigm developed in recent decades, it differs from earlier studies in that it assigns writing a central position. Sociolinguistics has long concentrated primarily on speech, but Florian Coulmas shows in this volume that the social importance of writing should not be disregarded: it is the most consequential technology ever invented; it suggests stability; and it defines borders. Linguistic studies have often emphasized that writing is external to language, but the discipline nevertheless owes its analytic categories to writing. Finally, the digital revolution has fundamentally changed communication patterns, transforming the social functions of writing and consequently also of language.

Cuerpos amefricanos

El libro reúne una serie de capítulos que tiene como eje el estudio del cuerpo y sus usos, explotaciones y representaciones, así como como símbolo de expresión política, social, y cultural, a lo largo de la historia del Continente americano, desde la época indiana o colonia, hasta el siglo XX, con un enfoque multidisciplinario, y construcciones bilingües, amefricanas y transdisciplinares. Los estudios abordan una diversidad de géneros y razas, y diversos contextos y situaciones históricas, que van desde denuncias antijesuitas pombalinas acerca de los cuerpos en el periodo colonial de dominación religiosa; el empoderamiento de las mujeres negras silenciadas, manifestado a través d...

"A lo largo de seis años, y con tres ediciones de reuniones académicas abiertas y algunas más de discusión interna, la Red de Investigadores en Historia de la Iglesia y la Religiosidad en el NOA ha consolidado un espacio dedicado al estudio, al análisis crítico y a la discusión sobre las representaciones, los imaginarios, las prácticas y las instituciones que intentan, desde un registro polifónico, dar respuestas a las preguntas por el fenómeno religioso. Una de las problemáticas que aglutina las discusiones y los itinerarios de este libro es la de las tensiones, confrontaciones, alianzas y luchas por la obtención y acumulación del capital religioso, el dominio de lo simbólico,...

Wetlands are among the world’s most valuable and most threatened habitats, and in these crucially important ecosystems, the invertebrate fauna holds a focal position. Most of the biological diversity in wetlands is found within resident invertebrate assemblages, and those invertebrates are the primary trophic link between lower plants and higher vertebrates (e.g. amphibians, fish, and birds). As such, most scientists, managers, consultants, and students who work in the world’s wetlands should become better informed about the invertebrate components in their habitats of interest. Our book serves to fill this need by assembling the world’s most prominent ecologists working on freshwater ...
