The Postsecular Turn in the Humanities
Transdisciplinary Perspectives
Edited by Dimiter Daphinoff Edited by Franziska Metzger
New Complexity and Broadening of Religious Studies
This volume focuses on the increasing inclusion of the analysis of ‘religion’ in the humanities and explores how transformations in society, in literature, art, and memory studies as well as epistemological shifts have enabled changes in perspective that could be called a ‘postsecular turn’. The transdisciplinary discussion aims at systematizing, on the one hand, the ‘new’ complexity brought to disciplines and fields of study such as literary studies, art history, religious studies, anthropology, religious history, and memory studies. On the other hand, it wants to show how this turn leads to a significant broadening of ‘religious studies’, in which aesthetics, linguistic, visual and ritual practices creating transcendence are brought into the centre of interest.
Dimiter Daphinoff ist emeritierter Professor für Englische Literatur an der Universität Freiburg.
