Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Religion und Psychose
Book SynopsisWas haben Religion und Glaube mit einer psychotischen Erkrankung zu tun? Was unterscheidet religiöses Erleben in einer Psychose von nichtpsychotischer Religiosität? Hier wie da gibt es Erlebnisse, die sich unserem unmittelbaren, rationalen Verständnis entziehen. Nach einer Phase der Pathologisierung religiösen Erlebens wird nun eher auf die haltgebende und resilienzfördernde Funktion von Religion und Religiosität und auf die subjektive Bedeutung fokussiert. Die theoretischen und klinischen Beiträge dieses Bandes beschäftigen sich mit der Bedeutung religiösen Erlebens für die intrapsychische Dynamik psychotischer Patienten und Patientinnen sowie mit den sich daraus ergebenden Besonderheiten der Übertragung und Gegenübertragung in der psychoanalytischen Psychosenbehandlung.

It brings spirit possession into the heart of anthropological theory, revealing its central place in the 'genealogy of modernity.'"

Columbia University Press The Awakened Ones
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThe Awakened Ones is the most sustained and powerful treatment since William James of the forms of knowledge and life that visionary experience makes possible. It is a remarkable combination of panoramic reference, detached analysis, and the most personal intensity of feeling and style. -- Akeel Bilgrami, Johnsonian Professor of Philosophy, Columbia University In his impeccable style, with an unmatched eloquence, a series of sparking, sparkling insights, and an expansive comparative vision, Gananath Obeyesekere gives us what can only be called a spiritual-intellectual testament. In the process, he calls on us to unite the rational and the nonrational at the highest levels of scholarship and cultural work and to envision a cross-cultural enlightenment that is as indebted to the visionary teachings of a Buddha or a William Blake as to the humanities and social sciences. A stunning and edifying achievement from a major intellectual. -- Jeffrey J. Kripal, Rice University, author of The Serpent's Gift: Gnostic Reflections on the Study of Religion In a world subjugated by the reification, if not deification, of rationality and science, this is a sorely needed antidote... Highly recommended. Choice A stunning scholarly achievement. The Ecclesial University The Awakened Ones: Phenomenology of Visionary Experience is Gananath Obeyesekere's magnum opus, his summa, his valedictory volume, to use three Latinate terms that come down to, it's a great big book into which he's put all the wisdom of his long lifetime. -- Wendy Doniger Current Anthropology [Obeyesekere's] cultural and historical range is as impressive as his epistemological thesis is focused and tight. -- Jeffrey J. Kripal History of Religions In this finely written, massive essay, ethnographer Obeyesekere elucidates a dialectic epistemology that utilizes both rational-scientific thinking and what he calls "passive cerebration."

Columbia University Press The Awakened Ones
Book SynopsisWhile a rational consciousness grasps many truths, Gananath Obeyesekere believes an even richer knowledge is possible through a bold confrontation with the stuff of visions and dreams. Spanning both Buddhist and European forms of visionary experience, he fearlessly pursues the symbolic, nonrational depths of such phenomena.Trade ReviewThe Awakened Ones is the most sustained and powerful treatment since William James of the forms of knowledge and life that visionary experience makes possible.

Columbia University Press The Work of Art
Book SynopsisArt making as a way of mediating between inner and outer realities.Trade ReviewTo read a book by Michael Jackson is to be in his company: to hear a cultured and cosmopolitan voice relating stories that disclose how the human and universal inhabit the personal and particular. Art and religion, he avers, are transitional phenomena that facilitate links between inner experience and outer worlds such that human life is made more viable. To craft artworks and to engender religious cosmologies and practices is to create that artifice whereby pain may translate into comprehension and anonymity into a sense of control. Jackson is a uniquely insightful and compassionate guide. -- Nigel Rapport, author of I Am Dynamite: An Alternative Anthropology of Power Jackson's meditation on art and religion is an erudite blending of philosophy, personal biography, history, and ethnography. Full of powerful time-space juxtapositions that weave Europe, West Africa, Australia, and New Zealand into the same sentences, paragraphs, and pages, The Work of Art is a sustained inquiry into the affecting sociality of art in its making and sensuous resonance. A wonderful addition to Jackson's elegant writings on key existential themes in anthropology: between-ness, becoming, and relationality. -- Steven Feld, author of Jazz Cosmopolitanism in Accra: Five Musical Years in Ghana Jackson's lucid, elegant, and incisive book is a laser beam piercing the murky discourse that surrounds contemporary art. His clarity restores the reciprocal relations between the work of art and our experience of it; his wisdom honors the age-old link between life, ritual, and soul-making. Most important of all, he shows again what it means to be alive in the world: bearing witness equally to joy and to pain. -- Martin Edmond, author of The Resurrection of Philip Clairmont The Work of Art is a deeply moving, inspirational, and intellectually compelling examination of the myriad ways in which art, religion, and ritual overlap. Combining phenomenological and existential insights with honest and intimate ethnographic reflection, Jackson teases out the productive and transformative implications of art practice. -- Adrian Parr, author of The Wrath of Capital: Neoliberalism and Climate Change Politics [The Work of Art] offers intriguing insights into how we might understand art and religion as two modes of the same creative impulse.

Columbia University Press What to Believe
Book SynopsisIn this lively and accessible book, addressed to believers, “recovering” believers, disbelievers, nonbelievers, and “nones” alike—to anyone in search of what they really do believe—the acclaimed philosopher and theologian John D. Caputo seeks out what there is to believe, with or without religion.Trade ReviewJohn Caputo is one of the foremost postmodern philosophers of our time. In this brilliant book, he offers a provocative new way to think about God and an invitation to awaken to a new reality: we are entangled with God. Playful, witty, and radically profound, this is a book to return to over and over. -- Ilia Delio, author of The Not-Yet God: Carl Jung, Teilhard de Chardin, and the Relational WholeHere is a book that countless people who have given up on the God of their childhood will relish. Tired of living in the shallow end of the theological pool, Jack Caputo invites us all to push out into the deep waters of radical theology without letting us sink.

Indiana University Press Extinction and Religion
Book SynopsisHuman-caused extinctions have never been so prominent in our political and cultural landscape. Extinction and Religion is a collection of wide-ranging chapters that explore the implications for religious faith and experience as it relates to a sixth mass extinction in Earth's history. Further it seeks to answer the question as to how religious and spiritual practices are shaping responses to the crisis?Edited by Jeremy H. Kidwell and Stefan Skrimshire, this collection aims to set a new postsecular agenda, articulating the questions, challenges, and ways forward for thinking about religion in an age of mass extinction rather than provide responses from world religions in isolation. It covers subjects such as the multitude of challenges posed by mass extinction to beliefs about the future of humanity, death and the afterlife, the integrity of creation, and the relationship between human and nonhuman life.
